(A list of Freshmen and their guests attending the Jubilee tonight will be found on page three.)
For what premises to be the largest and most successful Jubilee ever held at Harvard, about 400 Freshmen and their dates will invade the balloon-decked Union tonight to climax a weekend of Freshman festivities which, in addition to the big dance, will include an informal dance, baseball game, and crew races on Saturday.
Bobby Byrne's orchestra, which gained national fame when it broke Glenn Miller's attendance record at Glenn Island, will swing out from 10 to 8 o'clock. Vocal side of the musical entertainment will feature Dinah Shore and Byrne's songstress, Dorothy Claire.
Queen Awards Prize
A queen selected from specifications obtained through a questionnaire of over 1000 Freshmen will rule the assembled throng and choose the couple to receive the door prize, three albums of autographed records by Bobby Byrne and Dinah Shore.
Judges for the Class of 1944's "Ideal girl" are Neil Giles, known as "Susan Be Smooth" of the Boston Globe, Louis J. Brems, official greater of the City of Boston, and Dinah Shore, Chairman Andrew N. Welch '44 announced last night.
To Have Printed Program
In view of the capacity crowd expected, both dining rooms, the rotunda, and the Lower Common Room will be thrown open to the dancing couples. As an improvement over earlier Jubilees a printed program is offered. A midnight supper with hamburgers, ice cream, and cake will supersede the evening's punch bowl at 12:30 o'clock.
The Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Syracuse crew races at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon will be followed in the evening by an informal Brooks House Dance in the Union Lower Common Room, to the music of Kent Bartlett's orchestra.
