Record Crowd Jams Rec Hall Monday

A record crowd jammed the Rec Hall Monday evening for the JWB's fourth dance here at the Base. Judging from the large num- Der of GIs in attendance this reg ular weekly feature at the Rec Hall has received the "O.K." stamp of approval of Bradley personnel.
 Under the direction of JWB Di- rector, MT. Abraham Shapiro, two full busloads of Hartford Junior Hostesses attend the affair each week, providing plenty of dancing partners for all who care to "trip the light fantastic" According to one of the hostesses there is such long waiting list of girls who de sire to swing with Bradley G1's that each anxiously awaits her turn to attend one of the dances, which averages about once month. Senior hostesses bring along refreshments that include sandwiches and punch while Woods orchestra provides the mu- sic for dancing, with emphasis on variety.
