OPHOMORE INITIATION Is PLAYING THE LEAD guitar for the Chessmen, Ray Cobb added to the music provided for Mitchabaloo on September 18. ENJOYING THE MUSIC during Mitchahaloo were Howard Emery, Phil Murray and their dates. Getting to know youl' was the objective of the first school dance, Mitchabaloo, on September 18. The multi-colored decoration theme was carried out with the effects of lighting. Adding to the atmosphere was the music provided by the Chessmen, who played largely rock-and-roll music to which the crowd danced enthusiastically. During the course of the evening, members of the band showed their great versatility as they rotated their instruments which were the saxaphone, a set of drums, a tambourine and two electric guitars. Throughout the week sophomores were plagued by the unanticipated announcement, Watch out, sopho- moresf' Commencing the initiations on Friday during the lunch periods was the madras marching band, composed of the eleven cabinet members in madras clothing. All sophomores were summoned to the front of the cafeteria where they showed their spirit by lead- ing cheers.
