When BMOC's Were in Knee-Pants •
Committees Searched for Talent
When modern BMOC's were in
knee-pants and BWOC's in pig
tails, 19 years ago, College dance
committees were tearing their hair
to find appropriate bands for big
dances.
When Soph Hop was just three
years old and coeds were few and
far between, Dave Harmon's Or
chestra and a "professional Chi
cago dancer" were billed. The
same year, 1923, when the Black
Bottom and Charleston flourished,

We Call for Three
Days 'Time Out'
Tired-eyed students and har
assed professors alike are won
dering if we will be granted Good
Friday and Saturday 'morning for
a short period of recuperation.
All of us are aware of the ne
cessity
.for working harder' arid'
faster, for doing better work in
less time. We know there is a
war and that defense factories. are
going 24 hours. We are willing
to go to classes twelve months in
stead of nine and maybe sacrifice
a few dances and cokes.
We also know that a war emer
gency calls for citizens, who are
strong physically as Well as men
tally and morally. In defense
meetings, we are. urged to take
.good care of ourselves.
We read posters explaining vit
amin and sleep requirements. Tob
often, however, sleep and, proper
food are slvrif iced for pressing
homework or meetings.
We don't mind not getting the
usual Easter vacation. In fact,
most students are glad to continue
working. But a few days of rest
would certainly do a lot toward
building morale and enabling us
to get a little much-needed rest.

uled for Junior Prom.
Something new in the
. Way of
dancing pleasure was added when
"Zez" Confreys' musicians came
to town in 1922. Mil Ball com-
mittee men advertised the dance
as having continuous music for
dance addicts and card games for
those who didn't want to dance.
Jan Garber, Idol of the Air
ways, brought his new band here
for Junior Prom in 1925. Senior
Week featured a novelty Banjo-
Saxo group from the West. • Tal
Henry, the Personality Prince,
was first signed..for SQph Hop, but
Danny Dever finally replaced him,
it was announced several weeks
before the dance.
Jazz was born and grew in the
following year's, and by 1932 was
in its prime. Bands for All-Col
lege dances were chosen by card
ballot and placed on a calendar
of events.
The Personality Prince, Tal
Henry, showed up in '32 with his
North Carolinians. to play for
Senior Ball. A Washington-Bi-
Centennial observance sold tickets
to Soph Hop that year. A Casa
Loma orchestra, direct from an
appearance at Yale University
furnished music.
Interfraternity Ball had been
created three years previously,
1932, when Kay Kayser and his
orchestra plus a local student
bafid supplied IF dance music.
