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,.,.

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

H fr ,. .fi-A z W - .'i ' RAZZ BANQUET To go to Razz Banquet or not to go, That is the question .... Whether it is more ignoble To cowardly hide at home Or to attend and mayhap receive the White Lily. Whether my black past may hie me up on the green carpet And my one-time weaknesses be aired before tittering coeds, Aye, there's the razz. Mournful wailing of cazoos, the pulsing beat of wooden spoons on large-sized dishpans, and in they came, yelling their now famous theme- song. Russ Keller opened proceedings with a few preliminary remarks intended as a sort of anesthetic. Then students and faculty alike took it in the spotlight to the accompaniment of biting sarcasm offered by the Razzeteer staff which included: Mary Louise Tobey, Virginia Pulliam, Virginia Lowry, Richard Tuttle, James Crawford, Richard Bash, Jack King, and Frank Briggs. Oratorical masterpieces oiered by the spokes- men of the opposition, Professors Annakin and Allyn, turned the staff's faces a rosy red, too. Awards included everything from a white lily to a red neck-tie. The affair was one of the most successful on the school social calendar.
