'Wispa-Tone' Leader
Holiday Dance Inaugurates
Christmas Season; Campus
Set for Joyous Atmosphere
Though an ill wind certainly
blows no good, participants of
the gala Holiday party and
dance sponsored by the Mono
gram Club at the gymnasium
tonight will certainly see a
"good Gale blow plenty of soft,
soothing and scintillating sweet
ness."
With all Inst minute details safely
tucked away in Santa's bag, mem
bers of the club are confident that
tonight, will see one of the most
successful dances ever staged on
the Guilford campus. The inaugura
tion of the Christmas season will
find Harold Gale, Winston-Salem,
and his "Original Wispa-Tone
Music" providing the music for the
celebrators and celebratees.
Gale has achieved a reputation
throughout the East and the South
for his original type of music; not
too loud and not too soft—"the kind
you want to dance to." He has been
featured at leading hotels, clubs and
ballrooms throughout the East.
"Kampus Kuties" Recalled
The Monogram Club's last ven
ture into campus entertainment was
last, year when members staged
their "Kampus Kitties Niteclub" in
the basement of the gymnasium.
Tills has been recognized as one of
the outstanding social affairs of the
past, few seasons. Tonight's dance
will be the result of the same meth
odical planning that was responsible
for the success of the "Niteclub"
escapade.
Suspense will be high through 'the
early part of the evening while the
class presidents and other organi
zation heads tally the votes which
will elect the lucky girl who will
be the "Queen of the Christmas
Dance." T'p until tonight, the identi
ty of the girl is as much of a mystery
as the identity of the famous "Miss
Hush" of radio fame.
Tickets are still available as bids
are issued by the members of the
Monogram Club. If you plan to
wait until the last minute—don't—
buy yours now. Come to the Christ
inns Dance—you'll start the season
right if you do.
