An Aggie Institution”
Most of the work was done by
Bauman, Williamson, Kindred, Os
borne, and Huddleston, with the
rest of the men putting in their
share of efforts. The featured in
strumentalists are Kindred and
Osborne, but as yet no soloists
have been chosen by the members
of the band.
Music offered by the orchestra
will be of the smooth, sweet va
riety, with a ratio of three slow,
dreamy tunes to one fast one. It
is a policy of the orchestra to play
music that is not too hot or fast
for the average dancer or his date
—yet hot and fast enough to keep
even the most fanatic jitterbugs
happy.
Instead of being in the annex of
Sbisa Hall, the corps dance will
be held in the main dining room.
This is for the comfort of the Ag
gies and their dates. The main
dining room is exposed on three
sides and is much cooler than the
annex.
The all-service dance Saturday
night will be held in the Grove,
with the orchestra playing for it.
All men on the campus; Aggies,
sailors, marines, and ASTP will
attend whereas the dance Friday
will be for the Aggies and their
dates only.
Some of the songs to be played
at the dances will be: “Now I
Know,” “Amor,” “Long Ago and
Far Away,” and “Goodnight Wher
ever you Are.” Earlene Nedbalek
will feature “Star Eyes” as her
main presentation.
The Ageieland Orchestra has
been a proud possession of the
corps for a long time. Aggies have
liked to utilize their own abilities
and have always rallied around
whatever is theirs. This first ap
pearance of the organization mer
its the support of the entire^stu-
dent body. The men are willing
and ready to give us their best.
The orchestra will perform for
both the Friday and Saturday
night dances. Scrip for the corps
dance will be $1.50. For the Sat
urday night all-service dance, the
scrip will be $1.20, couple or stag.
