Bryan DOKEY CLUB Invites You To Their SPRING CARNIVAL OLD COLLEGE ROAD CARNIVAL GROUNDS FREE ACTS 9 Free Parking $ Come Early! Stay Late! 25 ATTRACTIONS NOW OPEN Greater United Shows Midway h Is First Formal Concert Presented Locally by Group A Battalion Review Music from the heart that reach ed the hearts of the audience came from the stage of Guion hall last Monday night when the Singing Cadets appeared in concert as a presentation of Town Hall. Their first formal appearance be fore the cadet corps, the Singing Cadets, presented a program of familiar and stirring music for which they are fast amassing a reputation. The group has sung for numerous entertainments and events on the campus in the few years of its organization as such, but until Monday night the group had never given a concert-length program on the campus. The en thusiastic reception at this pro gram insures numerous future en gagements. Making no pretext at displaying a fine array of trained voices and polished choral numbers of a clas sical nature, the club gave a light concert of familiar music. Compos ed of men who sing for the love of singing, the club makes the listen ers feel rather than hear their music. Rousing military songs which make the listener want to get up and join the parade and march, rhythmical popular pieces creating the urge to dance or pat the feet, folk songs of this country and others to which the listener cannot but hum or whistle to him self, religious music to grip the heart—all this is the program the cadets presented. Director of the group since its beginning fours years ago is J. J. Woolket of the modern languages department. C. W. Zahn is the club president, and the accompanist for the group is Marion Lyle. The program as presented was as follows: “Away Down South” by George Perfect; “Fair Land of Freedom’ by Gustav Klemm; “Stouthearted Men” by Sigmund Romberg; “The Drum” by Archer Gibson; “Marines Hymn” by L. Z. Philips; “Dance My Comrades” by Richard Bennett;; “Adoramus te, Christe” by W. J. Marsh; “The Creation” by Willie Richter; two accordion solos, “In the Mood” and “Liebestraum” rendered by Pat Patterson; at this point intermis sion. The last half of the program consisted of the following: “Ciel- ito Lindo,” solo rendered by Gabino Fajardo; another solo, “La. Cucara- cha” sung by Xavier Fernandez; a group of Spanish songs sung by Gustave Carlsen, O. J. Erlund, Ga- bina Fajardo, Xavier Fernandez and Miguel Soto; another group of songs by a barbershop octet, Bar ney Martin, Gib Michalk, Henry Maas, J. 0. Bartlett, L. C. Salm, G. A. Adams, Lloyd Bailey and Reynolds Smith; a novelty, “The Mosquito”; “God Bless America” by Irving Berlin; “The Spirit of Aggieland” by Lieut. Col. Richard J. Dunn; and as a finale, Wool- ket’s own arrangement of “Taps.” Baker Leads Second Seminar On South America C. L.
