As the Band was climaxing its season at the annual banquet at the Union last night, announcement was made of a telegram from the Columbia Broadcasting System, asking them to play on a half-hour program over the radio on December 15.

It was stated that the band would accept as soon as the agreement of all the authorities is obtained. This will be an unprecedented action, since the band has never before played after the football season except at the hockey games, and means that the band must remain organized for extra rehearsal Saturday.

The banquet was under the direction of Malcolm Soymour '35, who is retiring as manager. Donald F. Pitcher '33, former manager, acted as toastmaster. The main speaker and guest of honor was Leonard F. Hubbard '31, another former manager.
