Town Hall, the Aggies’ only link with
worldly culture, will once again be presented
on the stage of Guion Hall during the 1947-
48 school year.
y • ,
Preceding 1934. Aggies wwe forced to
travel to Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio
in order to broaden their minds through the
media of music, dancing, and vocal groups.
In that year a few enlightened souls suc
cessfully inaugurated a series of concerts,
well-known public speakers, famous dance
teams, singers, and choral groups.
Since then many outstanding artists have
ap{K*ared on the campus under the auspices
of the Student Activities Office, sponsors of
Hall. The Don Cossack Choir, H. V.
ibom, the Houston Symphony Orches
tra, and (I ladys Swarthout are among the
more outstanding attractions offered Town
Hall patrons.
The 1947-48 Town Hall calendar will con
sist of at least twelve programs. Under the
83 general admission price, each attraction
will coat the purchaser twenty-five cents. In
the larger cities single tickets to one of the
(terformances would, in many instances, cost
)
price of the season ticket to Town Hall.
