ill Jazz, Moxie, and Nan were properly serenaded, cheered and yodeled to as a mark of regard for our three patron saints, after which everyone proceeded to the pavilion where inspection took place and prizes were awarded. Be it remembered, too, that this event initiated Antioclfs first Leap Week. Several of the girls, bearing this in mind, had worked up a stunt portraying an exaggerated idea of social equality, and some of the geniuses from South Hall put forth their best in the way of entertainment. Hazing in modified forms followed the freshmen through- out part of the remaining division. To their chagrin, they lost all the freshman-sophomore events and as a consequence were theoretically under the thumbs of their elders the rest of the period. Blue berets, lusty singing of the Alma Mater etc. were very much in evidence for a time. In conclusion, with humble apologies to Pope: Too little frolic is a dangerous thing. And again: The freshman never is, always to be blessed. III

MUSIC mi -E! A ' POBABLY the outstandin event of the year in An- 55 -, i' - g tioch's musical program is the establishment of a Victrola record library of fine music. It is believed l ':iil Q L1 that Antioch is the second American college to do this, and it was made possible by the gift of the class of '28. The library now contains the major works of Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Haydn, Schubert, Tschaikowsky, Wagner, ancl others are constantly being added. Not the least value of these pro- grams comes from the words of explanation given by Mr. Pil- lard, Mr. Terborgh, and Mr. Watson at the different concerts. The band has been most active, and under students, Ku- min, Mattoon, and Peacock, has played at assemblies, athletic meets, indoor and outdoor concerts, and furnished the music for the town I-Iallowe'en Festival. Striving, as it always has, for quality and not quantity, the orchestra's procedure is to provide a finished program at musical vespers each period. Mrs. Broda, as director, has acquainted them with continental music that is unknown in America, such as the opera of the French Revolution, Der Kuhreigen, and the beautiful Der Ewzngeliman. The glee clubs under Mr. Dean follow the same plan, usually giving a joint program with the orchestra. Quartets, trios, and solos, both vocal and instrumental, have appeared and played for the community, as well as a visiting violinist, Michael Wilkimirsky. II3
