STUDENT FACULTY MIXER This year's mixers were more popular than ever before. A new feature was the game room, equipped with ping pong' and card tables for those people who did not care to dance. Student and faculty members alike were enthusiastic in their at- tendance. Music for the affairs Was furnished by a number of different local or- chestras. The Art Department em- ployed a variety of clever schemes for decorations during the year. Some of the particularly effective occasions were the Freshman Get- Acquainted Dance, the Winter Snow- flake Scene, and the May Day Ball. l 841

BAND Tins farnniar expression at the footbaH gaxnes is proof of the adrnira- Hon and apprmnahon mduch aH feeltoumrd Hhs eHkient and groudng orgainzation. VVhik:it has aided rnateriaHy in adding color and enjoy- ment to many college activities, it is distinctly different from many college bands in that it serves as a laboratory for the special music students who are to beconueleaders of highschool bands and orchestras. 'These stu- dent directors plan features for the games, make arrangements for school songs, and drill the band in marching tactics and letter formation. To Mr. Bright, to his assistants, Charles Letsinger, William Richardson, Gene Morlan, Charles Lunsford, and other members of Indiana State's march- ing band goes a word of richly deserved praise for their efforts. z,,sg,.,.
