Guy Townsend, Houston, who was a sophomore in 3rd Headquar ters Field Artillery, is shown jumping an obstacle at last year’s horse show held in the spring. “Marksmanship has been devel oped to a high degree at A. & M. where, in addition to rifle practice, students learn the thor ough care and operation of ma chine guns as well as how to handle other weapons and devices now employed on the fighting fronts of the world. This is the underline for the picture of the rifle range: “All school and social life at Texas A. & M., where the sound of live poultry and pigs mingles with roar of whirring machines and the occasional reports of gunfire, is based on military organization and, on the campus or in the many dormitories, a code of strict dis cipline is maintained at all times. —GRADUATION— (Continued from Page 1) Wakefield, P.

The blinders won’t let them see that students are burdened to the hilt with work now, and extra quizzes would come as a near death blow. The blinders also definitely date these instructors. Profs who re alize the war is on are willing to meet the situation and forget about additional work under the new plan as the school’s leaders want them to do, but these others still believe it’s a case of “school-as- Galley 2 usual” and that the equivalent of the regular final is an absolute necessity. So were sulphur and molasses once considered essen tial, but the twentieth century generations seem to be progress ing exceptionally well without grand dad’s “favorite” spring tonic. —TICKET SALE— (Continued from Page 3) Hershel Burgess, Spike White, and Luke Harrison.

The band will enter the gate as a unit, but after playing the Spirit of Aggieland, it will split into two bands—Infantry and Artillery. The Infantry unit will then be the “official” band of the Maroon team and the Artillery band will serve as the White team’s band. Tickets for the game can be ob tained by students from the first sergeants of their respective out fits. Also they are on sale in Bry an at Waldrop’s, WSD, and Bull ock and Sims. Luke’s Grocery, Ag gieland and Lipscomb Pharmacies have the tickets at College Station. Musical Meanderings By Murray Evans Benny Goodman recently record ed four numbers without drums, and they were surprisingly good. The rhythm section consisted of piano, guitar, and bass. As a matter of fact, drums are taken too much for granted as a band necessity. Actually there are times when trumpets and cymbals clash to produce muddy tones, and the base drum nearly always dampens or kills the har mony. Not many drummers can, or will, play soft enough so that the tone quality of the rhythm can be heard. With fewer drums around, music in general would be far, far better off. Chief gripers againts loud drummers who raise the roof with every beat are bassists, guitarists, pianists, and saxophonists. “Any Bonds Today” rates as the most popular war tune to date. Wonder if any immortals such as “My Buddy” and “Till We Meet Again” will come out of World War II? Harry James’ band is excellent on sweet music. His Columbia recording of “You Made Me Love You” is tremendously popular now. James’ muted trumpet predomi nates in his smooth, easy style, and he is ably backed by a fine string section that takes over the sec ond chorus itself with a clever ar rangement of the melody. An up-and-coming number that ought to find a berth on the Hit Parade before many moons is “Having A Lonely Time.” Raymond Scott’s great band has been shattering attendance records in Boston for the past eight weeks. One of his most welcome fea tures are his informal concerts, given by his small combination, which presents his own interpre tative jazz music in the original “Raymond Scott Quintet” manner, the finest example of which can be currently heard from the Columbia record, “On the Jersey Side.” Patronize Our Agent In Your Outfit.
