First Feminine Member of Aggie Band Plays at 4:30 Cynthia Lancaster, harp soloist with the Aggie Band, is the only feminine member in the history of the band. Although a freshman at TSCW in Denton, she will appear as guest soloist with the band on its Easter concert in Guion Hall tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. Cynthia is a native of College Station and attended the A. & M. Consolidated school. During her senior year in high school, in ad dition to her musical activities, she was chief yell leader of the high school pep squad. She has won a number of first prizes in swimming meets over the state and owns many trophies for equi tation. For the vacation months she has been engaged by summer camps as councellor and teacher of harp. Miss Lancaster’s music educa tion has been under the direction of Lt. Col. R. J. Dunn, director of the Aggie Band, and she was one of the original members of the College Station “Little Symphony’ 1 ’ orchestra organized in 1933. The orchestra placed first in the state meet in Huntsville in 1940. Once upon a time, deep in the* heart of the bright lights and gay life of the big city, a grand show was produced and christened “Hellzapoppin.” Although the sec ond annual Engineer’s Day show is billed as “Slip-Stick Follies of 1942,” another name, “All-Hellza- bustin’-Loose”, has been suggested as an appropriate second. In a nutshell, that’s just what will hap pen Saturday night at Guion Hall, starting at 7:15. And to banish any doubts that may arise, it will be the boys who sweat slide rules, drafting boards and math tables that you will see with their hair down—well, maybe not their hair —and their skirts on. Last year, the first Engineer’s show was so successful that some prominent men wanted to take it to Dallas, Houston, and other large cities in Texas, and this year ev eryone who has watched rehears als proclaim the 1942 version is better than ever. But to get down past the foam, the show is an extravaganza brought about by the combined ef forts of all the Engineering clubs —each has a nact. It packs terrific punch and zing with a touch of the “Hellzapoppin” and war—it (See SLIP STICK, Page 6) amp u s Dial 4-1181 LAST DAY VOTE US IN We Will Vote HIGH PRICES DOWN!
