Globbish ’46 has been chosen for Soph Hop Queen, according to an announcement by the Soph Hop committee last night. \ Alternates for the title are Char lotte M. Taylor ’46 and Rowene W. McCray ’46, who will vie for the honor in case the present selectee is unable to attend the dance. The selection was made from the coed members of the Class of ’46. Much discussion preceded the difficult choice, according to com mittee members. ■ Miss Globbish is five feet three inches tall with blond hair and blue eyes and weighs approxi mately 115 pounds. She is enrolled in Physical Education, is a mem ber of the Swimming Club, Fenc ing Club, and belongs to Alpha Chi Omega, social sorority. She hails from Lancaster where she was born and brought up. In the summer of year, Marilyn traveled to Washington, D. C., and returned with the Women’s Na tional Junior Breaststroke title in the 100-yard event. During the summer she served as a life guard at a Lancaster swimming pool. Last semester Marilyn made the Dean’s List in the Physical Educa tion *' ~ Jack Lord and his Aristocrats will be featured in the “Battle of the Bands” at the “Lincoln’s Birthday Ball” to be held from 9 to 12 on next Friday evening, at •Rec Hall.-. - The Aristocrats have something new this year in-the addition of Buddy Rotili on the baritone sax, which" brings to total up to five saxes. This new arrangement makes possible a great deal more color and variety.. On low jump tunes the low range of the baritone sax gives an effect like that of the Elling ton and Lunceford sax sections. The section is especially “solid” on tunes like “Velvet Moon” and “Wednesday Night Hop.” - In the brass section, leader Jack Lord has' the section play with a great- deal of dynamic control. The brass is at its best on numbers like ‘•‘Deep River,” “Trumpet Blues,” and especially good on the old jump number, ■ “One O’clock Jump.” .In the rhythm section are three able men, Hughie Ridall on the skins, Larry Anesko on the ivories and Jim Burden on the stririg bass. These three combine to give the band its excellent beat. •The band intends to give the dancers at the annual dance plenty of musicar variety. Almost the whole lbirary consists of- special arrangements with tunes done by Jimmy Leyden, Don Smith, Les Stine, and Vic Dimeo along with others by the boys in the band. Such novelty numbers as “Joltin’ Joe,” “Amen,” “Mr. Five by Five,” and “Take It and Git” have been very popular this year.
