Show May 29, 1951 SIGNPOST Pas;e 5 SOCIAL WHIRL "Trying Discs" By Ann Lund Kenton gives his haunting "September Song" a successful and secure follow-up with the rhythmically smooth "Dynaflow" for Capitol. It combines flowing rhythm with melody likewise by definition. Its companion is a much commercial "Tortillas and Beans", which is nothing but an uninteresting composition of inferior humor and sound. "Pretty-Eyed Baby" and "That's the One For Me" on Mercury is done by Jo Stafford and Frankie Laine. The flat, pious, Stafford voice is unusually lively, and combines welf with Laine's own energetic self. They've Changed Something pretty special and spicy has happened to the Mills Brothers. Their newest for Decca, "Mr. and Mississippi" and "Wonderful, Wasn't It?" even has a progressive, bongo back-ground arrangement. The boys must have been feeling mighty chipper when the disc was cut. Offerings from Sarah Vaughan at this time include a malt-rich rendition of "Deep Purple" with a backing of "These Things I Offer You" which is not so rich; and an Album entitled "Sarah Vaughan Sings" "Our Very Best To the Graduation Class of W. C." Smalley Jewelry & Sporting Goods 2540 Wash. S. & H. Green Stamps With Every Purchase for Columbia. Titles of tunes in the album include: "Body and Soul", "You're Not the Kind", "I Can Make You Love Me", "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance", "I've Got a Crush on You", "You're Blase", "A Hundred Years From Today", and "My Kind of Ix)ve". Noteworthy Novelty The lilting but languid voice of Ella Fitzerald comes forth with a novelty combination "Hot Canary" and "Two Little Men in a Flying Saucer". Even the youngest of the young and the oldest of the old should enjoy these. "By George" is a tribute paid to George Shearing by one of hisrecord-making buddies, Woody Herman. It is an orchestral arrangement, by Ralph Burns, of Shearing's theme song "Bop, Look, and Listen". This is truly good-humored music making. "It isn't Easy" is the flip side with Woody doing the vocal. Arrangement and execution are polished. Billy Eckstine fronts for a tango rhythm on "I'm a Fool to Want You", which is backed by a tune, standardly done by Eckstine, "Love Me" for MGM. The Golden Fog "Mel Torme Sings" is an excellent collection of some fine tunes done in the misty, melting tones that only Torme can provide. Tunes are "I Cover the Waterfront", "Love, You Funny Thing", "A Little Kiss Each Morning", "The Best Things in Life Are Free", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", "Little White Lies", and "County Fair". The last mentioned has a terrific background arrangement and is an impressive panorama of tempos and sounds. This "mint-smooth" record column would like to give due credit to Jerry Laine of Standard Electric, who has given such spicy injections to the column, for his record recommendations, and for his patience while I sat in his record booths for hours. Graduates! Congratulations on Your Graduation! We Wish You the Best of Luck and Happiness in the Year Ahead Character Study: Faculty Members It seems that through the year we pay tribute to all the talented students and unique characters of the campus but we plumb forget to mention the sundry and salutable talents of our faculty members. So here, in this final and foremost issue of the journalist's delemma, "Signpost", we would like to make up for all oversights made in connection with this subject. First comes a suberb barber shop quartet which could be composed of such campus crooners as Howard Knight, (who warbles "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" at the drop of a tube of formaldehyde.) Dean Farnsworth, (of the angelic expression), Abe Visser, (who makes the walls and rafters ring long before and after hours,) and Farrell Collett (who could do it with paintbrush in teeth). The greatest problem of the quartet?" What can you do with three tenors?" We might arrange a trickey tap dancing routine with a combination of Marva Gregory and Roland Parry. Weber lost a great (well enthusiastic, anyway) pianist when Larry Evans joined the ranks of the Ogden Standard Examiner. Larry was one of our greatest boosters of Shearing and Brubeck, but his pianistic heart and loyalty still belong to Art Tatum. Wle could put the talent of Dr. Xoung to good use and have him completely re-decorate the campus. However, chartreuse and cerise might become tiresome after awhile. You postum, coke, and hot chocolate drinkers of the C.I. are already aware of the talent of Mrs. Allred. She makes the environment so nice that an occasional cup of that vampire's brew they call coffee doesn't make you ill for more than two days. Last but not least, our (Signpost) own advisor and subtle humorist, Wayne Carver. He has the talent of inspiring a bunch of uninspired, would-be journalists to get a semblance of a paper on the campus once every two weeks. And to top that, he even manages to keep Marilyn the happiest wife on the campus. What a guy! ! !

"Food and fun was provided for everyone," according to Annette Bott, sophomore class secretary. Among the activities staged were: Softball, volleyball and hiking. A new game, Danish Softball, was introduced by Coach Anderson. Refreshments consisted of hot dogs with all the trimmings, ice cream sandwiches and punch. According to Carl White, sophomore class sponsor, "Many people have expressed the thought that the picnic was much more successful than the usual Lagoon ouling." Age Youth Bob Singer, represents from St. Petersburg, Fla., watching a baseball game played by theThrce-Quarter-Century club (no player under 75). "You play wonderful ball for your age," he told the83-year-old shortstop. The octogen-erian chuckled. "It ain't how old you are, it's HOW you're old!" Tony Weitzel, Chicago Daily News.
