JORDAN CONCERT BAND NiLO HOVEY, Conductor Charles Henzie, Assist ant Conductor The Jordan Conservatory Band, which for several years has been faithfully tended by Mr. Charles Henzie, gave two very worthy concerts this year under the able direction of Mr. Nilo Hovey. Mr. Hovey, a new member of the Jordan faculty, has worked hard with the members of the band and much praise is due him for his excellent performances. In February the Jordan Concert Band made their debut for the year 1944- ' 4 5 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The program they presented was varied and beautifully performed. Mr. Henzie and Mr. Hovey shared the honors, each wielding the baton for several numbers. The second concert was given in May and the members of the band proved themselves versatile musicians by performing very nicely the well-chosen program. Several of the members of the band have performed as soloists and in en- sembles various times at the student-convocations this year, and have contributed their part to the Jordan radio broadcasts.

PHI MU ALPHA SINFONIA FRATERNITY ALPHA SIGMA CHAPTER THE WOUNDED DO NOT CRY Two hours after Lieut. Frances Slanger and other Army nurses waded ashore in Normandy on D-plus-four, they were at work. They slept on the ground, wore the same clothes four days running. In five weeks of rugged going they helped handle 3,000 casualties. Last month the girls were touched when an article praised them for sharing the G.I. ' s mud and discomfort without a whimper. In Belgium Lieut. Slanger and her tent mates talked it over. That night, by flashlight, she wrote an answer: We have learned a great deal about our American soldier and the stuff he is made of. The wounded do not cry. Their buddies come first. The patience and determination they show, the courage and fortitude they have is sometimes awe- some to behold. Stars and Stripes published it under the heading Nurse Writes Editorial. But Nurse Slanger never saw it in print. The night after she wrote the piece, a German shell had ripped into her tent and wounded her fatally. She did not cry, died a half hour later. — Time, December 4, 1944. For these and countless thousands like them Sinfonia most humbly and reverently bows its head in a prayer to God that they might be protected and spared to come home to a new, greater world wherein men will live as un- selfishly in peace as they have suffered unselfishly during war. Phi Mu Alpha Sm- fonia members of Alpha Sigma chapter have twenty-three brothers in uniform who all join in the sincere prayer that the day will come soon when all mankmd will live as one family, meriting the love of their Maker. . . . Earth shall be fair, and all her people one. [20]
