Red Cross Funds Short;
Extended Deadline Set
Brazos County’s 1951 Red Cross
Drive, scheduled to end last Sat
urday, has been extended live days
because it is $5,689.24 short of the
$12,631 goal, said County Chairman
Mike Barron.
“The nurse’s aid classes and
classes in first aid and swimming
will continue, despite the shortcom
ings of the drive,” he said, “but all
home service work will be drasti
cally handicapped.”
Demands for home service work
will be increased with the reacti
vation of Bryan Air Force Base,
Barron warned. This service deals
with men in the armed forces, es
pecially with getting information
to and from service men’s families.
1950 Total Short
Last year the $9,000 quota set
for Brazos County was not real
ized; it fell short $1,000 of the goal.
At the half-way mark last month,
the drive seemed well on its way
to success, the chairman reported.
The residential district of College
Station was asked to contribute
$800, and $200 had been solicited

Solicitations 'on the A&M campus
more than triple the $70 collected

Aggies have thus far donated $237

“All workers and their group
chairmen have been urged to get

attempt to bring in enough con
tributions to meet the goal,” the

Barron warned that should the

School Musicians Perform
By LEON McCLELLAN
Battalion Staff Writer
More than 400 people attended
the Music Festival and tea held
Sunday afternoon at A&M Consol

Two guest conductors appeared
on the four-phase program which
featured the beginning and ad
vanced orchestras, and the Junior
High School all girl choral club.
Col. R. J. Dunn, music instruc
tor at A&M Consolidated, led the
30 beginners through the first
tune entitled “Sprouts and Buds.”
They played the “Soldier’s
March” by Rader, “Playtime,” a
waltz by Haydn and a descrip
tive medley.
The medley in three parts con
sisted of “Big Ben,” “The Court
Jester,” and “The King.”
Cauer’s march, “American
Youth,” and the overture to Met
ro's “The White Queen” made up
the first part of “Sprouts and
Buds”—second phase of the festi
val.
Director of the Singing Cadets,
Bill Turner, took over the forty-
piece advanced group and led them
through the second part of the
program.
Guest conductor Turner direct
ed the group through “A Petit
Pas” by Sudessi, and intermezzo-
scene “In A Persian Market,” by
Ketlebey, and a fantasia hy Rey-
naud—“Mosaic.”
“Zephyrus,” the third phase of
the conceit was under the direction
of Mrs. J. T. Dawson, who led the
34 girl chorus through Mendel
sohn’s “Greeting,” Vandovere’s
“God of Out-Doors,” and “Come,
Christians Join To Sing,” which is
anonymous.
“Russian Choral and Overture,”
based on Tchaikovsky’s Op. 39, No.
24 and Russian Folk-Tunes, started
the fourth, part of the concert, en
titled “The Garden.”
Aggie Bandmaster, Lt. Col. E.
Verne Adams, was second guest
conductor. He led the last part
of “The Garden,” which was
Lauver’s “La Joie Du Print-
emps.”
All proceeds of the festival will
go towards buying new instru
ments for the bands at Consolidated
School. Col. Dunn said he hoped I enough money,
to purchase a piccolo, a tenor sax- The musicale was sponsored hy
aphone, a trombone, a baritone, the Instrumental Music Sponsors
and two new bases, if there is I Club of Consolidated School.
