Graduates Elect
Foley President
Extensive Social Program
Include* Bridge Club,
Dances, Athletics
For the first time in recent years,
the graduate students of State college have organized themselves into
a class comparable to the class organizations of the undergraduate
body. At a meeting on Wednesday, October 18, Joseph Foley was
chosen president of the class. Other
officers are: vice-president, Anne
Brown; secretary, Jean Dusenbury;
and treasurer, Thomas Casey.
The class had its second dance
last night in the Commons of Hawley hall and plan to have some sort
of gathering every two weeks thus
giving it a more extensive social
program than that of any of the
undergraduate classes.
As last year, the male students
will enter the intra-mural program
of MAA with both a basketball and
softball team. Many of the graduates are looking forward to the
sports program and "hope to do as
well or better than last year" when
they were the top team in the basketball league. Dennis Peper, '39,
is the athletic director of the graduates. They plan to play the winner of the touch football league.
Among the other activities, a bridge
club will be formed and the graduates will be able to participate in
a number of tournaments.
With 169 students in the class
plans have been made for what the
graduate students term, "a banner
year socially for the too often neglected graduate students." The aim
of the class is to bring the graduates
closer to the under-graduates who
generally regard them as outsiders.
The social committee will be a
revolving one to include every member of the class some time during
the year.
Miss Moreland, dean of students,
Dr. Belk, professor of education,
and Mr. Bulger, personnel director,
are faculty advisors for the class.

the practice of dirty playing In intramural games.
Secondly, I suggest that Intramural council get together and make
a few rules regarding the refereeing
of the games. Make the referees
more strict in their calling of fouls
and as a whole, make the elastic
six-man football rules more definite
and specific so that the referee will
be able to point to a definite rule
when he makes his decisions.

Symphony Orchestra
To Present Concert
The State college symphony orchestra, now In its second season,
is planning to present a concert as
one of the assembly programs in the
near future, possibly before the
Christmas vacation. The selections
for the program have not been chosen as yet, but they will be picked
from numbers now being rehearsed.
Started by the class of 1942, t h e ;
symphony orchestra, a student project from the start, has been recognized by the student body and
Music council, and has been allotted a sum of $100 in its budget.
It is hoped that the orchestra
may accompany the chorus in its
spring concert when it presents
Bonn Godounov. However, the orchestration is foreign, and there is
some doubt as to whether it can be
secured at a reasonable price.
Later in the year, the orchestra
will present a concert of its own in
an evening program.
Pedagogue Elections
At a recent meeting of the Pedagogue board, William Brophy, '41,
was elected business manager to
succeed Walter Simmons, '40, who
has resigned. The new advertising
manager is Betty Kennedy, '41,

Cappiello Will Again Direct
Most Important Affair
of Senior Class
To Play Both Sweet and Swing Music Tonight
To the swishing of new gowns
and the crackle of stiff shirts,
the seniors will "hop" tonight;
"hop" to the solid swing and sentlmentalism of Len Fennell and
his following of "jive" specialists.
From all indications based on past
performances, the class of 1940
will enjoy Its dancing to the
utmost.
Fennell brandishes a baton biweekly at the George F. Pavilion In Johnson City where such
bands as Glenn Miller of "serenade" fame, Tommy Dorsey,
who tackles a trombone hard
and low, and Artie Shaw who
"began the Begulne," have lately
seen service.
With constant playing the Fennell outfit has become a well
organized group which plays with
the precision of a forty dollar
micrometer. According to latest
reports by Santi Porcino, '39,

State SCA Council
To Convene Friday
The class of 1940 will open State's

Len Fennell and his Binghamton
band.
Reserve Dance Floor
Joseph Cappiello, who has had
charge of the class of '40's Junior
Prom and Sophomore Soiree, promises that this year's hop will be
both a social and financial success as is evident from the advance
sale of tickets and general enthusiasm. In previous years, the affair
has been conducted at the Aurania
club at much higher rates.
Refreshments will be served before intermission which will be from
12:00 to 12:30 o'clock.
Arrangements have been made to reserve
the dance floor for those couples
attending the hop. The ballroom
decorations will feature the class of
'40's banner and the class colors
of yellow and white.

Kingsley, chairman, Albert Parker,
Marion Walker and Frank Augustine; arrangements, Harriet Sprague,
