Houseparty began, this one being absolutely the last, since the lack of students in the semesters to come would certainly mean a cessation of these events for the duration. The traditional Friday night dance was changed to Saturday, but it was well worth the wait, for Jimmy Lunceford, leader of one of the top-ranking negro dance bands in the country, put on one of the finest performances ever seen at a Lehigh Houseparty. The highlight of the evening was a half hour jam session immediately following the intermission, during which time Lunceford and his orchestra held even the most confirmed jive haters spellbound. The weekend went off smoothly, but the average student went out of his way to have a good time, since this would probably be his last houseparty for all times. Mustard and Cheese later in the month presented its spring production, this time a merry madness entitled Bottoms Up, a combination Hellzapoppin and musical comedy written, produced, and staged by all-male students cast. The next attraction on the campus was presented in a more military-like fashion, with the ROTC giving a field day and review at Taylor Stadium. An added attraction was a sham battle by advanced ROTC men, with blank-firing machine guns, bayonets and all the rest. At the same time the Army again promised to send the long-lost ASTP men, this time on June 5, and arrangements were again made for their arrival. A truly amazing event occurred next in the class elections late in April. Over 50 per cent of the students voted as against the usual 10 per cent of past years. The new system of balloting within the various living groups was given credit for the improvement in spirit. The semester closed with the honorary society elections and final examinations. One hundred and ninety-nine seniors, in the last normal graduation at Lehigh until three or four years after the present war, were graduated at com- mencement exercises — as compared to 335 the year before. Dr. Harold W. Dodds was the speaker for the occasion, and all of those receiving degrees agreed that they were fortunate indeed to have been permitted to conclude their studies before taking up arms for Uncle Sam.
