Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, November 1,1951 Houston Aggies To Sell Tickets For Trip Dance Tickets are now on sale for the pre-game dance to be held at the Shamrock hotel on Friday night, Nov. 16 in Houston. The invitations sell for $3 per couple and can be bought from any club member. The dance, sponsored annually by the Houston A&M Club, will be given in the Emerald and Grecian rooms of the hotel and will last from 9 p. m. until. “The Corps Trip party is open to all Aggies, their dates, former students and friends of the col lege,” said Louis A. Wood, sys tem chancellor. “It was decided by the club of ficers that the dance would be held the night before the game because of the excessive rental price on a Saturday night,” said Wood. “So that more students could afford to go to the party, the club unanimously voted to outlaw cor sages,” continued Wood. “It was voted also that dress would be op tional, however, if the student does not wear a uniform, a coat and tie should be worn,” he said. Music will be furnished by a Shamrock orchestra. Sick List Students on sick call at the A&M College Hospital were as follows: James W. Taylor, James C. Bras well, Lloyd W. Morris, James R. Womack, William R. Deem Chris J. Carson, Oscar Garcia, Jerry Dugan, and Thurmond John- Art Mooney’s Band to Play For Dance After SMU Game Art Mooney, that genial Irish Gentleman, and his band will play for a dance following the SMU game Nov. 10 in Sbisa Hall. The MGM recording artist has filled engagements at such well known dance spots as the Sham rock in Houston, the Aragon Ball room in Chicago, and the Palladi um in Hollywood. Mooney is the composer of the popular “I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clov er” and has recorded such hits as “Faithful” and “Serenade In Blue.” The Irish lad from Lowell, Mass, never intended to be a dance band musician at all. His father intended that young Art should learn a sensible trade such as that of a linotype opera tor. Mooney studied sax on the side but upon graduation from high school the future band lead er laid his music aside to appren tice himself to the Detroit News. As a hobby, Art began playing with small dance bands in the De troit area. In making up ads for dance band appearances, the bud ding musician would substitute his own name for the names of the big name artists due to appear. By mistake an ad which was supposed to announce the appearance of Glenn Miller came out heralding the appearance of one “Art Moon ey and Band.” The incident cost Mooney his job but stai’ted him on his musical career. An urgent message from Uncle Sam delayed the start of Art’s civilian band work, but many servicemen stationed in the Miami area during the war can vouch for his successes with an Air Corps dance band there. Returning to civilian life after three and a half years in ser vice, Mooney reorganized his band and began seeking engage ments. The first booking for the Mooney aggregation was a two week run in New York City’s Lincoln Hotel. The two weeks stretched out into eight months as the “Genial Irish Gentle man’s” music proved popular with the big city’s dance fans. A recording contract with MGM soon followed along with guest appearances on the major radio networks. One hit record followed another as Mooney’s musical styl ings became nationally known. The catchy “I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover” sold over a million records. The Art Mooney band success fully combines danceable music with entertainment. Novelty tunes have made the organization one of the nation’s more popular dance groups. An admirer of classical music, Mooney has util ized several classical stylings in his choral and vocal presenta tions. The popular orchestra is cur rently injecting some of the old Glenn Miller trademarks into their music. Art feels that there is great popular demand for the dance-ballad style made famous by the late band leader. The Art Mooney band features romantic ballads by Alan Foster. Comedy relief is provided by Ker- win Somerville and Johnny Ro mano. Boy Scouts Have Big Activity Range USE BATTALION CLASSIFIED ADS TO BUY, SELL, RENT OR TRADE.

The promoting and delivering of medical and hospital supplies for the County Medical Supply Bank was only one of the many and varied “good deeds” performed by the College Station-Bryan Boy Scouts this past year. The group, made up of teen agers, also picked up and distri buted clothing and household goods for needy families, aided policei in traffic control, organized for civil defense, and acted as color guards and buglers for several patriotic services. Not All Work But Scouting isn’t all work and no play for the local youths. An nual camping activities attracted most of the boys during the sum mer. Three district units spent one or more weeks at Camp Strake, near- Conroe; several scouts attended a councellor’s training camp at Strake and later worked there and at Camp Arrowmoon, just south of Hearne; six Explorer Scouts went to Philmont Scout Ranch; 25 boys participated In the fishing derby at Seabrooke; and three units took paid in the Sam Houston Area Council exposition in Houston. Camp Arrowmoon Improved Arrowmoon, in Robertson coun ty, has been improved and several additions made, including cook ing and food handling equipment, water supply, swimming pool, rifle range, and a handicraft lodge. Additional improvements are planned as funds become available. The chmp is used by several groups throughout the summer and on week-ends the rest of the year. In 1951, the record shows that 110 Boy Scouts in regular camp, 100-4-H white boys and 114 4-H negroes used the camp for four- day weekend camps. Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, parents, and other boys used the camp dur ing the year for a total of 1,298 registered campers plus an esti mated 1,000 visitors and miscel laneous users. Guidance Courses Begun Since all Scout work is conduct ed by volunteer adult Scouters, the district committee, under the direction of H. W. Barlow, recog nized the necessity of training courses for these leaders. Formal courses were conducted during the past year for Den Mother’s Cub Masters, Scout Mas ters and Troop committeemen, Ex plorer leaders, and Merit Badge and Advancement councellors. Both the College Station and Bryan Scouting units receive most of their operating expenses from the Community Chest. • FOR SALE • (70) used automobile batteries.
