LI B m Digges Announces Hop Committee For 1939 She 113. (fiabct V I R G I N I A . A N - V Y MK INST Corps To Dance To Music Of Guy Lombardo VOLUME XXXI No. 2778 LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA APRIL 18, 1938 NUMBER 25 '39 Hop Committee Chosen; Under New Constitution Rules Committee Now to* Manage Final Hops Final Selection Of Committeemen Made April 17—In an interview with a CADET representative, Dudley P. Digges, newly elected President of the 1939 Hop Committee, announc-ed tonight the final selections of his committeemen, and the fact that the '39 Committee, acting un-der a new constitution, would take over the management of the Final Dances this year. Three Main Purposes The Constitution, of which this last announcement is not an integ-ral part, will serve chiefly in three main capacities. First to provide a definite set of rules under which succeeding committees may act year after year, thus avoiding un-necessary confusion at the begin-ning of each Fall term. Second, to provide for a change in the man-ner of electing new members from the Third instead of the Fourth j Class as previously done. Finally, to provide for a more thorough ac-tion of the Committee in the field of business management and re-sponsibility. Committee Officers Committee officers are to con-sist of a President, Vice-President, Business Manager and Treasurer. Next year's oficers as elected at a recent meeting of the Second Class Finance Committee are: President Dudley P. Digges, Vice- President, T. Woodrow Gray, Busi-ness Manager, Bill Hastings, and Treasurer, W. A. Bond. New Committeemen Committeemen, as announced to-night by Digges are selected from this year's Finance Committee and will fill the following positions: In charge of the flowers, lounge, and punch bowl: A. H. Morrison and C. L. Burgess. In charge of the chaperons' stand: W. K. Johnson. In charge of the orchestra stand: J. S. Littrell and L. H. Meem. In charge of Floor Committee: J. M. Tabb and I, V. Parham. In charge of lights: W. M. Mc- Carthy and P. B. Baldwin. In charge of sound board: T. A. E. Moseley, Jr. In charge of police of hall: A. W. Ellis and F. G. Jarman. In charge of paper decoration: W. A. Irving, G. K. Slaughter, and R. A. Edwards. In charge of wire: J. W. Chiles, H. W. Ellerson, Jr., and R. C. Brit-tingham. Electricians: W. C. Mitchell and J. G. Bernard. In charge of publicity: L. E. Hud-gins. In charge of storeroom: P. W. Riddleberger. To Manage Final Hops The '39 Committee, unlike any preceding committee, will inauga-rate a new policy by assuming the management of the Final Hops this year. It will take full charge both financially, and as to the manage-ment of the dances. To facilitate this policy, the present Hop Com-mittee will close its books after May First Class Hop, and transfer its funds to the new committee. The only part of the present com-mittee will play in the Final dances will be the selection of the Final Hop orchestra which has already been signed. This new policy will enable the new Hop Committee to acquire ex-perience in its new capacity, and thus be able to operate upon a more stable basis upon ttie open ing ot the Fall term with the Home-coming Hope. Hop Committeemen PRESIDENT Dudley Digges VICE-PRESIDENT Woody Gray BUSINESS MANAGER Bill Hastings TREASURER Bill Bond Second Class Show Moves Into Final Week of Practice Costumes And Scenery Completed; Dress Rehear-sals Begin This Week Wat Ellerson, director of the Sec-ond Class Show, announced to-day that the first dress dehearsal of the production will be held in J. M. Hall tomorrow night.' The second rehearsal is scheduled for Thursday evening. Ellerson stated that the cast is very fortunate in having the properties ready in time to hold two dress rehearsals. In most of the previous productions, he revealed, the cadets have been able to hold only one such prac-tice. Costumes The costumes, wigs and drinking tankards, which were ordered from Jack Mullane of Washington, D. C., have arrived, and practically all of the props have been collected. Mrs. Medford G. Ramey has helped im-mensely in getting the dresses for the 'girls.' Ned Feddeman has secured the old cutlasses and the two "horse" pistols from some of the people of Lexington. Dan Bayless has also contributed several cutlasses for the swashbuckling cutthroats. Col-onel Moseley has supplied some stage jewelry, and he will be in charge of making-up the villanious ruffians and the "dainty, sweet ladies" .-of- "Captain Applejaek.'^ Lnmbjardc's The first and third acts of the play are laid in an old English home while the second is in the cabin aboard Captain Applejack's pirate vessel. Fred Adams has painted the ship's scenery, which, with the rest of the scenery was ready to be set up yesterday. Mitchell and Bernard are in charge of all electrical equipment. They have constructed a set of ceiling lights in order to provide adequate lighting of the stage. This will be not only a definite ad-vantage to the present production but also to future ones. Early Supper It is hoped that it will be pos-sible to obtain an early supper for the Corps on the night of the play so that those who attend the play will not be late for hops as they usually are on this occasion. The play itself will last about an hour and forty-five minutes. The Com-manders will play before the show and between the second and third acts. A surprise feature will be presented between the first and scond acts.

Cavalry who will have charge of the inspecting of the Cavalry unit, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Conner of the U. S. Field Artillery who will inspect the Field Artillery Unit and Major C. D.

Saxaphones: Carmen Lom-bardo (also soloist); Victor Lom-bardo, baritone saxaphone (also clarinet); Fred Higman, second saxaphone; Larry Owen, third sax-aphone. Percussion: Fred Kreitzer, pianist; Frank Vigneau, second pianist; Francis Henry, guitarist; George Gowans, drums. And, of course, there is the recently added Fhopsophone, a cross between a mellophone and trombone, played by Dick Fosdick. Vocal Trio Guy Lombardo's vocal trio, which is really a trio in more ways than one, is composed of Carmen Lom-bardo, Larry Owens and Fred Hig-man. These same men also com-prise the saxaphone trio—with Car-men on first sax, Larry Owens Fancy Free," "Snuggled On Your Shoulder," "Sweethearts On Pa-rade," ''Boo-Hoo." He does all the solo vocal work Occasionally Fred Higman's voice is heard carrying a few measures along with his deep baritone. Most Distinguishable Dance Music An interesting fact about Guy Lombardo's music is that they play a faster tempo than most people realize; but there's no accented beat involved and that causes the tempo to appear slower. •A noted musician once said that the Lombardo band is the most distinguishable of all dance music. It's the only orchestra to which the average listener can easily tune in during the playing of a number and immediately identify. Their music is individual. SelecUon Of Hits As most everyone knows, Guy Lombardo plays every week, on his Sunday afternoon program, a number which he believes will be a hit. It has been found out that these selections are rarely wrong. His ability to pick these songs shows that he is able to feel the pulse of the listeners. This fact should prove that the music played at Easter Hops will be that which is most pleasing and entertaining. were here and made the inspec-tion which was held last year.

CADET BILLS MUST BE PAID BY MAY 15TH In order that books may be cleared and a few of this publication's IOU's be marked paid, all Barracks sub-scriptions must be collected before May 15.

Band Steps Out in New Uniforms for Parade Last Tuesday at Parade the Post Band appeared for the first time in their uniforms, which in the opinion of all made them look 'run-ning' for the change. The uniforms are navy blue with gold trimmings including a gold stripe down the side of the trous-ers to replace the old White stripe which took only two or three pa-rades to make them extremely dir-ty. The blouses are of the English cut type and thus allow much more freedom of the throat which is a great help to those members playing wind instruments, as com-pared with the uncomfortable stiff Committee Anticipates 100% Corps Attendance By RED McCRACKEN April 10—"The swetest music this side of heaven" will ring out in the gaily decorated '94 Hall next Friday night when Guy Lombardo begins playing for the Easter Hops to be held April 22nd and 23rd. 100 Per Cent Attendance The drive started by the Hop Committee recently to have a one hundred per cent attendance at these dances has had its effect on the Corps and it is believed that almost everyone in the Corps will be on hand to make the dances a success. A recent survey of bar-racks to determine the number of men escorting dates to the dances shows that a larger number of girls will be present than at any dance this year. This drive for 100 per cent attendance was not difficult to put through as the attraction of-fered by Guy Lombardo and his orchestra was more than almost anyone could resist. Lombardo A Barracks Favorite It has been known by the hop committee for several years that the corps likes sweet melodious music for the dances and for this reason an extra effort was made to secure Guy Lombardo for this set of Hops. The weekly Sunday afternoon program of Guy Lom-bardo's is a favorite in barracks and the strains can be heard com-ing from the radios during the en-tire half hour. This success is due to Lonibardo's being able to pick the public's fav-orite numbers and then playing them in a manner which is distinc-tively his own and which is re-membered by everyone who hears it. Guy's soft harmonies have done much to make America's dancers and radio listeners prefer sweet and harmonious music. The success of the Easter Hops each year has a great deal to do with the orchestra which can be secured by the Hop Committee for the Finals dances. The success of the hops this Easter is felt cer-tain and for this reason Stuart Cot-trell, president of the Hop Commit-tee, has advised that the orchestra for Finals has been selected and the name will be announced dur-ing the Saturday night dance. Other Dances In State The competition afforded to these dances by other schools is the greatest that the Hop Committee has had to contend with this year. Washington and Lee and the Uni-versity of Virginia are holding their Easter dances at this time and have secured nationally known or-chestras. The Friday night dance will be-gin at nine o'clock and will con-tinue until two in the morning, the Saturday night dance will be held from eight-thirty until twelve o'clock. A dansant will be held Saturday afternoon. The combin-ed price for admission to the two evening dances will be five dol-lars and a charge of one dollar will be made to thoise persons attending the dansant. color blouses in the old blouses. The accessories of white belts and white lapel cords are still worn with the blouse. VMI's own talior shop, under the supervision of Frank Morse, the uniforms, which all in all a vast improvement.
