by a Bach French Suite, Xo. 4,

thimatie -clearness and delicacy
of shading that formed a. beauti
ful and interesting rendition.
Margaret Bridger, playing
“Valse in A,” by Jlosakowski;
and Pauline Barnes, playing
Schubert’s “ilinuetto,” gave
two enjoyable contributions to
the program througli their piano
solos which showed careful prep

John Philip Sousa and his
noted biuid played in Kaleigh on
l'"ridiiy, November 14, with an

State College Fraternities
Present Stunt Night
The Blue J-Cey Honor Frater
nity of State College sponsored
a “Stunt Night” at Pullen Hall
on Friday night, November 14,
The master 0;f ceremonies for
thi«, one of State’s most success-
Tul student entertainments, was
Jidinnie Geoghegan.
State College student body
and college band cooperated
wonderfully in the rendition of
l'Tl>y songs and cheers. The
l»and pinyed the noted “Wolf-
pack ilarch,” and “The Stars
and Stripes.” The student body
sang in unison the State College
Song.
The stunts which followed
were all unique and well staged.
Hanks and Cliapmau, notorious
black-face twins of comedy, pro
duced the usual brand o1’ rib-
l)ending wisecracks. The Mn
Betii l‘liis gave a stunt of a more
serious order, in which a piccalo
and base drum were used as
main instrnnients of an “orclies-
tra.” The Bine Key gave aplay-
let in which a whole school
broke down and wept hot tears
hecjuise of the financial depros-
slon bearing on them to the ex
tent that they were nnable to
l)uy instruments for a fictitious
hand and uniforms for the mem
bers. The hearts of those in the
audience were fittingly melted in
sympathy for the Blue Keys in
such a situation.
