Aggies Let the Tessies Down On
All-College Dance; Orchestra and
Singing Cadets Are Well Received
By Adelle Baker
(Co-Editor of the TSCW Lasso)
★
DENTON, TEXAS, Aug. 13, 1945
—There was a touch of Aggieland
down TSCW way last week-end—
but only a touch.
Fortunately the excellent and en
tertaining program presented by
the Singing Cadets and the Aggie
land Orchestra made up in part
for the lack of some three or four
hundred Aggies reported from sup
posedly authoritative sources in
College Station as headed for the
Tessie campus and the All-College
Dance Saturday night. However
the less said about that—the better.
Beginning the program with the
famous “I’d Rather Be A Texas
Aggie”, the chorus and orchestra
almost had some serious audience
competition—since the tune is one
that rates high on the Tessie hit
parade.
Next Joe Herrera and Don
Simpson did some strictly solid
solo work on the tenor sax and
trumpet, respectively, in “Kansas
City Moods.” Switching from the
Army to the Navy for a rendition
of “Sky Anchors,” they paid their
respects to the Navy Air Corps.
Charles Thoma almost got a few
swoons a la Swoonatra on his solos
in “Go Down Moses” and “Ole Man
River”—no telling what would have
happened if he had given with the
lyrics on “I’ll Remember April,” a
lovely ballade that was well played
by the orchestra—but could have
been bettered by vocals.
Other outstanding soloists on the
program were Braxton Doaks,
whose Artie Shawish version of

“Begin the Beguine” had the au
dience on his side from the start;
and Pete Mayes, who did the ex
cellent trumpet work in “Add Libb.”
Bill Turner also received his share
of the laurels as a musician as well
as director with his special solo
of the ever popular “Stardust.”
Laugh getter and novelty num
ber by band members was the
Bottle Symphony—something we’ve
heard a lot about, but haven’t seen
much of lately. First they played
“Long, Long Ago” strictly as
Foster intended it . . . then went
Latin with a variation in rhumba
rhythm.
Strictly appropriate as radios
blared news of the Jap surrender
ultimatum was the stirring ar
rangement of “This Is My Coun
try.”
A fitting end was the trio of Ag
gie favorites: “The Twelfth Man”,
the “Spirit of Aggieland”—in
which, incidentally, the audience
wanted to join in, oh so bad, but
didn’t know whether or not it
would offend the chorus—and the
“Aggie War Hymn”—in which the
audience disregarded the chance
of offence and with the “We’re
Aggies too” spirit, joined in too.
Several of the arrangements were
Fred Waring specials and his in
fluence was clearly evident in most
of the other numbers. Those like
“This Is My Country’ ’and Sky
Anchors” were excellent, too, but
others, “The Twelfth Man” in par
ticular, seemed slightly “de-vitam-
inized” considering the rousing
renditions we’ve heard at the Ag
gie games. Not that it wasn’t well
done. It’s just that there are other
songs we’d rather see concertized.
Noticeable by their absence since
they were heralded in the advance
publicity were “Surrey With the
Fringe on Top” from the current
Broadway hit, “Oklahoma,” and a
supposedly hilarious interpretation
of “She’s More to Be Pitied Than
Censored.” We were looking for
ward to them.
After the program the Aggie-

“There’s No You” by the
orchestra followed, and the result
was very sweet. But the top of the
evening was Doris Turek, who pol-
.ished her nails (or something),
looked pretty, and released a
sultry and sweet rendition of “If
I Love You”. Then she really put
out with , qne of the few real
voices heard on the Guion stage to
sing “Magic is the Moonlight”,
which included a nerve-racking (it
must have been, to raise so many
low moans) Spanish version. She
couldn’t leave before singing an
encore, “Blue Skies”, then she left
them yelling for more.
After a hep version of “Johnson
Special”, the Singing Cadets ar
rived to sing with their customary
great ability, “The Surry with the
Fringe on Top”, “Stout Hearted
Men”, and a novelty spiritual, “De

Poison Ivy
Most people know that Poison
Ivy is abundant in this area. It is
a common component of our wood
ed areas and is often to be found
growing with ornamental shrub
bery around homes and public
buildings. For several years a fine
specimen of Poison Ivy grew cling
ing to the C. E. Building. Recently
this plant was destroyed in part,
but is now resuming a vigorous
growth. The picnicking area near
the project houses contains enough
of this plant to poison every citizen
of Brazos and adjacent counties.
The old lakebed near North Oak-
wood and College Park is used
as a playground by some of the
children of the community. The
Poison Ivy in this spot has prob
ably been responsible for the
sale of large quantities of cala
mine lotion, “Rhulitol” and other
itch alleviating compounds. A tele
phone pole in front of a business
establishment in Bryan serves as a
support for a Poison Ivy plant. I
wonder how many folks have suf
fered from dermititis after shop
ping in our neighboring metro
polis ?
Poison Ivy should be eliminated
from places that are frequented
by any appreciable portion of the
citizenry. Occasionally public of
ficials are disinclined to hire labor
ers to remove Poison Ivy for fear
of adverse legal repercussions. I
believe that Poison Ivy can be re
moved at a nominal cost by using
a spray such as the organic com 7
pound 2-4 dichloropheno-oxyacetic
acid. In using this or other sprays
it is not necessary for the operator
to come in contact with the plant.
Poison Ivy is a native of North
America and does not occur natur
ally in other parts of the world.
There are several species and va
rieties of the plant and they are
variously known as Poison Oak,
Picry, Poison Creeper and Three
leaved Ivy. The Poison-Wood of
Florida, Poison Sumac, the Japa
nese Lacquer Tree and the Cashew
Nut are close relatives of Poison
Ivy. All of these plants will cause
dermititis in susceptible individuals.
The irritation is caused by a non
volatile oil. No one can be pois
oned unless he is in direct contact
with the plant or the oil. Some
people believe that air currents
carry the poison. This is not true
unless these air currents carry dust
or smoke particles that have come
from the plant. Some individuals
have been poisoned by handling
birds and mammals that have
been in contact with Poison Ivy
or Poison Oak. It is probable that
no one is immune, although some
fortunate citizens maintain tem
porary immunity for a long time.
gentleman does not remain seated
in the presence of women who are
standing. He rises whenever a
woman in his company rises”.
A man’s hat is always removed in
private homes, in cluhs, churches,
private offices, and elsewhere when
a sense of respect or reverence
suggests that it is proper’. Tihs
also includes elevators in hotels
and apartment houses. Many men
uncover in all elevators if there
is a lady present.
Never offer your left arm to a
lady. Offer your arm in the day
time only if traffic or danger make
it desirable. Ushers at weddings
offer the right arm. At formal din
ners and balls a gentleman also
offers his right arm to his partner.
The rule that a man should al

hold true anymore. A man walking
with two women may walk between
them.
