Dance Is Given For Ball Teams After PJC Game After Brevard’s first home foot ball game last Saturday night, the players and rooters celebrated with a dance in the recreation room of West Hall.

After much delibera tion, the following were chosen: Jean Eaker, Billie Lowrey, Max ine Renshaw, Eleanor Orr, Bateye Taylor, Sonny Allen and Speedy Cranford.

He is the fellow who makes with all that music on his trum pet. Other members of the crew will include Bill Duckworth, alto saxaphone; Max Robinson, bari tone saxaphone; Mutt Lowman, trombone; Archie Miller, bass; and Dick Kelly, drums. The piano and tenor sax chairs have not yet been filled, and vocalists will be chosen in the next few weeks. According to information fur nished by Smith and Miller, a favorite from last year’s band, the accent this year will be chiefly on sweet music; coupled with some modern specials by Ravon and Ar chie.
