Band Presents
Second Concert
Sunday Afternoon
Harpist Cynthia
Lancaster Featured
On Guion Hall Program
In the second of its spring con- 7
certs tomorrow afternoon, the Ag
gie Band will present a concert in
Guion Hall at 4:30 o’clock as a
part of the Parents’ Day program,
Bob Russell, major of the band, an
nounced. The featured artist on
the concert will be Cynthia Lan
caster, who will render a harp
solo.
The program has been divided
into two sections. The second is
dedicated to the Ivanhoe Command-
ery Knights Templar. Lt. Col.
Richard J. Dunn, A.B.A., stated
that all Sir Knights and the gen
eral public is invited to attend
the concert.
Six numbers comprise the first
section of the program, which will
be opened with the National An
them. Second will be the march
composed by Col. Dunn, “The Ross
Volunteers.” “Pique Dame,” an
overture by F. von Suppe and the
selections “It Happened in Nord-
land,” by Herbert, and “Second
Hungarian Rhapsody,” by Liszt
will be the other numbers per
formed by the band in the first
section.
Miss Cynthia Lancaster, of T. S.
C. W. in Denton, will play a harp
solo, “The Brook,” by Zabel as the
last number of the first portioh
of the concert.
The first number of the second
section dedicated to the Ivanhoe
Commandery Knights Templar
will be the march, “Knights Tem
plar,” by Carter. The remainder
of the concert will be made up of
“The Crusaders” overture by
Buchtel, the march “St. Denis,”
by Teike, and “Faith Eternal,” by
Buys, a fantasie on the popular
hymn, “The Old Rugged Cross.”
The last number of the program
will be the War March of the Tex
as Aggies.
Tonight at the reception honor
ing visitors here for the Parents’
Day program on the lawn of Pres
ident T. 0. Walton’s home, the
band will play a short concert.

Skirts On—Have Hand in Extravaganza
Appearing on Kadet Kapers tonight in a special act of piano play
ing and tap dancing is from left to right Miss Gene Farley, Vesta
O’dell and Marilyn Cornelius. Miss O’dell, at present a student
at W. T. S. T C. at Canyon, is the pianist.
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
