ANNUAL MUSICAL
EVENT SUCCESS
COLLEGE MILITARY BAND AGAIN
DEMONSTRATE THEIR
EXPERT SKILL
AUDITORIUM IS FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY
Solo Numbers Are Given With Abii.
ity That Please The Large
Audience Assembled

The seventeenth annual concert by
the college band was given Tuesday
evening before an audience which
completely filed the spacious audi
forum. The work of the band was
excellent and up to its usual stand
ard, Notwithstanding the numerous in.
terruptions and difficulties which at
tended its training this year.
Of its greater numbers, undoubtedly
the most excellent both in content and
in execution was the Suite, Atlantis,
by Safranek. The many color effects
in this group were well developed
throughout. The Aroldo overture was
lyrical of it's composer, Verdi, in its
harmonic effects and characteristic
melody. The light opera was repre-
sented upon the program in the selec-
tons from Caryll's "Jack-oLantern,"
whose catching themes proved very
popular. OF the smaller numbers, the
Karganoff Menuetto All-Antico was es-
pecially interesting in that its dis
played the wood winds to advantage.
The several marches were played in
stirring military style.
In the aria from Romeo and Juliet"
Miss Wynn appeared to splendid ad-
vantage. Her tones were pleasing and
her technique entirely adequate. Her
encore number also proved. very en-
joyable.
The duets by Miss Saltmarsh, from
bonist, and Lieut.. Pickett, trumpeter,
were extremely artistic, displaying
tones of pure quality, fine blending
and clean technique.
The program was concluded with a
tribute to the Allied nations introduc-
ing the flags and national airs Of Bel
GUM, France, Great Britain, Italy and
the United States.
Mr.. Christensen is again to be con.
mended upon the satisfactory results
of his work and upon the fine organ
ization he has developed under so
many difficulties.

THE JUNIOR PROM

The Industrial Collegian of last
week gave the following description
of the annual Junior Prom held at the
college armory on Saturday evening,
March 1st:
The annual Junior Promenade last
Saturday night was the social success
Of the season. The huge Armory,
worked out in d~rawing-room effect,
vas striking, to say the least. The
lighting was almost wholly from beau
tiful floor lamps at the sides of the
room. Dozens of huge divans invited
from the walls. while at the corners
tastefully arranged coy corners with
rose-shaded lamps invited the dancers.
The class colors Of orange and green
were very effectively displayed on the
orchestra stand in the middle of the
floor. This stand was a bower of
orange and green streamers, and was
surrounded by beautiful plants. The
Casino orchestra from WATERFOWL fur.
nished the music.
The first dance was a waltz, and the
floor was well filed. About $50
couples took part in the grand march
which came ninth on the program. 1t
was a very clever and beautiful march
and the fashion show with which il
ended was unusual and interesting.
The march was led by Madge Nor
row, president of the class, and Lyle
Burkhardt. Miss Morrow was assist
ed in the formations by the following
couples: Charles Graves and Carol
Monro, Howard Lockwood and Susie
Peddicord, and David Gilkerson and
Eva Hanson. The gowns worn were
beautiful. The most noticeable thing
about them was the abundance of color
which was striking after the recent
dull tones.
The FIVE moonlight dances were the
best liked Of all. The moon which
hung low in the west shed q wonder
full light over the floor, and the or
chestra stand stood out in the center
like a fairy castle. Many say that
the moon was the best that ever con.
decended to shine at a Prom.
There were 20 regular, and three
extra dances. A great number of out
of town people were present, while
the galleries were filed with invited
onlookers. The last feature is a new
one, but it is hoped that succeeding
classes will continue to invite people
to witness the dance.
The delicious punch was served at
two booths in the EAST end of the hall
by -four high school seniors,
The patrons were: DR.. and Mrs. G.
l.. Brown, Prof. and Mrs. Hutton, Prof
and Mrs. Mathews. The chaperones
were Prof. and Mrs. Sherwood, Prof
and Mrs. Searles and Prof. and Mrs.
Miller.

seen a few OF these hats the idea does
not strike one as particularly con-
spicuous.
There Is only one class OF people
who are not overpleased at the intro
duction OF evening hats. These people
are the coiffeurs. They have hoped
against hope that elaborate hairdress-
ing would be reinstated as each season
made its appearance.
For decade they have been disap-
pointed and yet the public does not
quite understand why hairdressers
should have any squeamish feeling
about their trade. The evidence OF
their popularity is In the difficulty In
making appointments with any one OF
them. They rush from house to house
and drive through ten hours a day as
IL the Furies were behind them. and
they charge sufficiently to overcome
any shortage that might occur
through the lack OF elaborate coiffures.
The reason that the hairdressers are
