Jay Lucas Four
As Drum Major
High-stepping Jay Lucas, Blue band drum major, will
end four years of Beaver field strutting tomorrow at the
Rutgers football game.
The six-foot four and a half inch drum major has led
the band for the last three years and during the 1941 foot
ball season without missing a single game. A three year
stretch in the Army interrupted
his twirling career.
Getting Used To It
He smiled at the query of ner
vousness during the half time rou
tines and replied, “I’m getting
over it in my old age.” The 27-
year-old blond began twirling in
1938 while attending the. Wil
liam Penn high school in Harris
burg. Twice during practice,
about a year after he started
twirling, he miscalculated a catch
and knocked himself out. It was
the only time it ever happened,
he added, but for a while he was
afraid that parental pressure
would mark the end of a short
career. He never did stop twirl
ing, however.
His most difficult routine, he
said, is a finger tip balance in
which he passes the baton around
'iis body while balancing it on
•is finger tips and twisting his
wrists. A toss may look harder,
but in this one enough inertia
must be obtained at the beginning
of the routine to keep it spin

ning a full turn around his body.
Uses Heavy Baton
Jay wears out a pair of 11 ounce
batons about every year and a
half. He prefers the heavy baton
over the more commonly-used
light ones because of its better
balance and trueness. His uniform
was ordered from Pittsburgh on
a Tuesday several years ago and
he remembered how it was de
livered a few moments before
game time the same week. “They
really rushed it,” he grinned.
Cold? days are his nemesis as
far as twirling is concerned, he
said. Not enough perspiration on
his hands makes the baton harder
to catch and easier to slip off his
palms. On such days his palms
seem like “highly polished glass.”
Questioned as to how it felt to
drop a baton during a perform
ance he again smiled and said he
was getting used to it in his “old
age.” •

SINCE HE STARTED USING VITALIS/
You'll cut quit* a figure, too—if you use your bead—and
“Live-Action” Vitalis care. Give that mop on top the famous
"60-second workout” 50 seconds scalp massage (feel the differ
ence!) ... 10 seconds to comb (and will the wimmin see the dif
ference!). You’ll look neat ’n natural. Bye-bye loose, flaky dandruff
and dryness, too. So latch on to Vitalis—see the man at the drug
store or barber shop pronto.

home town, Harrisburg. The hap
py couple have an apartment on
Prospect ave., which is furnished
with modern furniture, carrying
out his interest in modem de
sign.
Jay is a member of Scarab, Phi
Gamma Alpha, and the campus
junior chapter of the American
Institute of Architecture. Last
year he was a delegate to the
national convention of the AIA
in Washington. He is very enthus
iastic about architecture, or as he
quoted it, “frozen music,” and he
would like to take up graduate
work after graduation next June.
His final football game appear
ance with the Blue band will be
at the Pitt game during Thanks
giving vacation. After that he’ll
hang up his batons, plumed hat,
and white shoes and retire from
the spinning world of batons.
