This poor little microphone is undoubtedly being worn out by a rapid succession of interviews, although we would have been at a loss without our portable. At this moment, we’re ambling around the halls in an effort to find some excitement or some inter- esting people. Standing over in a corner, apparently holding up a group of student lockers, is a gathering of some of Tech’s famous “sidewalk engineers.’ There displaying his usual grin is Senior Ken Edwards. He is well known for his constant good humor. The fellow next to him is hard to distinguish without his saxophone, but I’m almost certain that he is Jay Sterling, Tech’s Claude Thornhill. Jay formed his own little group of musicians last fall, and these fellows do give out with some fine melody. On Jay’s left is Frankie De Simone, who needs hardly any introduction. Some of you may not know, however, that Frankie tickles us with his “ivory ticklings” in the “Tantrums.” The last in this group is Tim Healey, the Lone Junior. As the class treasurer, his cry could well be “Hi, ho, Silver!” Joyce A. Arnold Nancy C. Askew Claire M. Balboni Mildred A. Arsenault Sylvester A. Astorino Robert J. Bandzul

“Melody Express” — Swing Band Rehearsal “All I want is loving you and music, music, music.” I’ll bet that you didn’t know that this roving reporter was a vocalist on the side. Frankly, I’m not, but that song has been going through my mind since the first time I heard it. It must be the infectious way music has of capturing people’s thoughts. Speaking of music, I believe I hear some maltreated strains of discordant harmony oozing up from the band room. Mr. Crabtree has called for candidates for the Tech Swing Band, and today is the first meeting of this organization. After a few practice sessions, these musicians will make up one of the slickest swing bands in the area. One might refer to these gentlemen as the “versatile verte- brae” for the Tech Swing Band is the backbone of the “Tan- trums.” Started when Max Ervin was here, it has become a fixture in the show. From key positions in this band, many fellows have been able to procure top jobs in local dance orchestras. Let’s leave these fellows to their rehearsing and travel on! Arthur R.
