Tessie Water
Show Scores
With Aggies
By DAVE COSLETT
Rippling waters, smooth music
and appropriate lighting effects
formed the setting for some eye
pleasing antics by the TSCW aqua
tic Club in Downs Natatorium Sat
urday night.
The group, 64 strong, presented
the water pageant, “After Dark”,
which at times approached the
smooth perfection of an Esther
Williams technicolor extravaganza.
The night’s aquabatics got under
way to the foot-agitating strains
of “Saturday Night Boogie” and
ranged from there on out through
a variety of music and moods all
suggestive of the night theme.
Most unique spectacle of the
night was a formation of a cham-
paigne glass complete with bub
bles to the melody “Blue Cham-
paigne.” Actual bubbles formed
with the aid of an oxygen tank
found stiff competition from the
assimilated bubbles formed by the
girls revolving in the Water in
treadmill fashion.
Best comedy sequence of the
night was a little affair titled “A
Pair of Ducks,” in which two of
the Denton mermaids palntomined

Music for the Saturday night
shuffle was through the courtesy
of the Aggieland Orchestra under
the direction of Bill Turner. The
pre-dominantly male turnout was
similar in several respects to the
Sophomore Ball of the previous
night. H
Bird dogs were again the rule
and reached an estimated total of
some 175%, the fraction represent
ing your reporter, who mixed busi
ness with pleasure.
Good music, ideal weather, and
a relatively un-crowded dance floor
lent the more unusual aspects to
the occasion.

ped five “imported beauties from
ail over Ihe world" to combine
talents for n “can-can" number.
Members of the line were Louis
Cnplan, Charles Peebles, Bob
Allan, Bob Hughson, and Mickey
Spencer.
“Miners" who were stage hands
during the show included Olin
Brashear, Norman Braslau, Macky
Trickey, Charlie Pence, and Gayle
Smith.
Decorations also followed the
gold rush theme with “gold dust
pans,” candle light, gold crepe pa
per, and swinging doors. Tables
and chairs were placed at both
ends of the hall.
The Aggieland Orchestra was in
best form and going strong, es
pecially to “Twelfth Street Rag.”
Jitterbugs went wild.
The dance floor at the begin
ning of the evening promised to
afford plenty of hoofing room,
but as the minutes flew by, it
became amply populated. Every
one seemed to enjoy the dance
and especially "bird dogs." Good
looking dates proved that many
Sophomores had really "whipped
out.”
Hockaday Girls
Make Hit With
Guion Crowds
BY CLAYTON SELPH
Thirty-two beautiful girls
made a big hit with an ap
preciative Guion Hall audi
ence Saturday night.
I The 32 girls composed the tal
ented Hockaday Junior College
Choral Club and the appreciative
audience was about a thousand ap
plauding Aggies who were treat
ed to an hour of semi-claksical and
popular music.
As the curtains drew back re
vealing the girls dressed in beau
tiful evening gowns, Richard Moor
head, director of the group, step
ped to the mike and said, “Haven’t
I got an easy job?” The audience
answered in agreement with a
round of applause that increased
in volume with the completion of
each number the girls sang.>
Accompanied by Betty Bor
oughs, the girls began their pro
gram with “Chaguane ca Braler”
a South American folk song. It
was followed by “Adios Casita,"
“Poll Perica,” ‘Tutu Mararaba,”
and "San Serieuto.”
At the close of the five folk
aongs, Mary Lou Dollinger, a very
talented soprano who recently won
the young Artists contest sponsor
ed by the Dallas Civic Federation,
was Introduced,
As her first number, Mary Lou
sang "Romance,” and a delighted
audience encored her for twq more
beautifully rendered numbers,
"When I Was Seventeen" and
"tales Front the Vienna Woods,"
Chanalng from the South
American mood to American fav*
orltes, the amup sanv pleasloa
arrangement* of “Inin t h e
Nivar “April Bhowefs," and
“Night and Day." j F!
Following these selections, It
took considerable tlmd for the aU*
dience to be quieted long enough
to introduce Gaynellc Little ami
Mildred Koffman, two talented pi
anists. After playing “Sou* Bois"
and "Second Arabesque" the nu k
dience called for more and they
played “Jamaican Rumba” as an
encore. j
The group once again took the
spotlight and sang “You’ll Never
Walk Alone” and “Dawn."
Moorhead then announced that
the girls were anxious to have
dates for the all-college dance to
which they had been invited. And
that the line would form at the
side door. That brought on a great
round of applause which was fol
lowed by the closing number. It
was “Italian Street Song" sung by
Mary Lou accompanied by the
group.
Judging by the applause, the
rush for the side door, and the ra
pidity with which each girl was
provided with an escort, one can
only say that Hockaday’s Choral
Club made a real “hit” at A&M,

Announcing these and other late 1
developments In preparations for
the 15th Cotton Ball sml Pageant,
Prof. J. 8. Mogford, faculty spon
sor of the ehow, said jthis year's
production was farther along ache-
dule at this time than any of the
previous shows had hekn.
“It will be our first outdoor
show, by far the biggest, and we
fully expect it to be the best show
we have ever had.” he said.
Presented' annually by the Agro
nomy Society to raise funds to
sponsor a group of agronomy stu
dents on a world-wide cotton tour,
the Ball and Pageant has gained
state and national recognition dur
ing its 15 years.
Stage settings are being design
ed by Sanget Brothers of Dallas,

during the Pageant. They will have ‘
sixty of their most beautiful mod- j
