Danee Band Sleepy Chase --i Gib Gibbons Bandleader Lead Foot Moore m. IS! Duke Hammer The Regimental Dance Band, maintained wholly by Cadets, has done much to enliven the hours here at Kings Point J)y playing in Delano Hall at meal times, in O ' Hara Hall during athletic functions, and at numerous other affairs. July 1952 will see many graduates leave the Dance Band. Floyd Gihhons, who formed and led the present band, graduates from the trumpet section, as does Harold LeMay. The trombone section loses Fred Kipp and Willie Meyer. Hardest hit too are saxes, with Bob Hajosy, Bob Fairbanks, and Jim Chase leaving. Paul Hammer consigns his bass to the deep six, while Bob Moore does the same with his drums. It may look like the end of a fine aggregation, but musical Plebes abound at Kings Point.
