BAND Are you ready Johnson? is the cry on everyone's lips, from the Major to the Sergeant to the guy who makes the quips. 'l'he drums go bang, the cymbals elang, and the horns they blare away, and every pre-cadet knows that the band will save the day. Three times Shibe Park for the serv- ices of the band did call: could otir band be the reason for the Phillies' fall? 'lihe band has always won high praise wherever it marched or sat- at Cricket Club, big hotel, or meeting at the station some brass hat. But enough of such jocularity, the mem- bers of the band deserve more famili- arity. Despite limited opportunity for re- hearsal, the band has consistently per- formed well. 'lihe explanation of this seeming paradox is the extensive ex- perience of its members: piccolo-lir- win GruningerlChicago Catholic High Orchestralg clarinets-Richard Arthur fspringlield High Band, Ohiol, Ray Burrus t'l'enaHy High Orchestra, N. il., and blassachusetts Institute of Technology R.

Columns of lwuls, stand fast. Squad one, lall outg squad two, fall out, liut stand by your gtins till the last. 'lihat was the way it endedg with gt handful of flourishes, ensemlvle-cliornses, and triple-octave major chords, Slum! Hy Your flinu, the detachmt-nt's own show, bowed itself oH' the stage and into eternity in time honored, nitisical comedy fashion. . . , lt all started when Myron l,anin and Richard Warren voltinteered to produce a musical for the detachment. 'lihe fruit of their labors appeared in something like finished form around December lllth. It turned otit to be the story of Mac, Charlie and Albert, three wistful P. lXl.'s stationed at llaverford College. 'liheir experience in the Army had been singularly disconcerting, since when the ctirtain opened on October l, Scene l, of Strom' lfy Your Gum, blac, Charlie and Albert were the only soldiers left at Haverford. 'l'heir buddies had all either washed otit or disappeared into thc hills tip behind Valley Forge on that seventeen mile hike we took last summer. The story goes on to tell how the three soldiers sottr on the lonely life and hard work. By the end of the Hrst :ICI they, too, have resolved willfully to wash otit of the course and take their chances on the pot-lttck that a trip to Greensboro may offer. 'liltc plot winds tip in the second act with the boys' last fling at a party at the Ardmore Y. M. C. A. before they leave l'laverford. .-X timely appeal to the Academic Board on the following morning hy the distracted ladies of the Y. Xl. C. A. saves the three now repentant boys from the trip to Greensboro. Once more realizing that some riches accrue to the man who stands by his guns, the boys are reinstated in the course, and the llorn ol Plenty runs over with a romantic abundance of good things when the rest of the detachment. long lost in the bills of Valley Forge, suddenly appears at one end ul the campus and marches onto the stage, tired, dirty, btit glad to be back. Of such stuff are musical comedies made. Giving the plot a helping hand all through the show were live good tunes by Mort l,ippman: Stand By Your Guns. 'lihe Gloomiest Nlen In Town, No Matter, Come Down to the YMC.X, and l.et's Have a Redealf' ln addition. the cast managed to hand otit a round measure of hairy-legged female impersona- tions, campus imitations and lively dancing.
