For the first time since the war a New York Orchestra has been engaged to play at the Junior Dance. On the evening of March 2, Memorial Hall will echo to the harmonies supplied by Markels Society Orchestra.

Two members of the Dance Committee spent several days in New York interviewing well-known orchestra leaders. Among those treated with were Roger Wolfe Kahn, Don Voorhees, Ben Bernie and others, but after thoroughly weighing the respective advantages it was decided to engage Markels.

Mr. Markels will make the trip to Cambridge and personally direct the music. Although he has not supplied the music for Junior Dances in some time, in 1914 he was a frequent visitor to Cambridge, and in that and the years immediately preceding played for the affair.

Markels and his band are familiar figures at all the leading social functions in New York and acknowledged to be unequalled in the quality of their dance music.

Each piece played will be from a specially written orchestration, thus rendering familiar tunes in an alluring and altogether novel manner.

The Dance Committee will this after-non begin to hold office in the Lampoon Building. Some member of that group will be there from 2 to 3 o'clock every afternoon of this week to consult with members of the class of 1929 on any matters pertaining to subscription applications for box groupings or other matters vital to the coming dance.

All subscriptions, to be accepted, must be in the hands of the committee by Friday of this week.
