Last Saturday night over a thousand officers and guests attended the Radio Rough-house in Memorial Hall. Ken Reeves' orchestra provided the music for the dancing while a show was put on by the students and the staff, featuring the illustrious Slide Rule Symphony led by Maestro "Leaping Leon" Chaffee. Master of Ceremonies Lett kept the show rolling but the program was so crowded that he did not have a chance to work in much of his mystifying magic.

The Slide Rule Symphony was the hit of the program. Ragtime Russell Tatum played the sax, Gut-bucket Githens played the clarinet, Phil LeCorbeiller slapped the dog-house, and Harry the Horse Stockman beat it out on the drums. Stockman beat it out on the drums. Stockman banged his cymbals in the best dead-pan style, but Tex Tatum nearly blew his eyes out. The rhythm really got him.

Manager Shoot-the-sherbet-to-me-Herbert Schwetman played a hot cornet, while Cokey Wing, Colonel Fox, and Send-me-Sandford backed him up with violins. Lt. Mawhinney on the tuba and Ensigns Jackson and Hofheimer showed the faculty that there's more to harmony than Fourier Analysis. Miss Frances Jennings played the electronic musical instrument, the Theremin.

Slide Rule Symphony played "As Time Goes By," "Beer Barrel Polka," and "Deep in the Heart of Texas." Slide Rule Chaffee signalled the claps for "Deep in the Heart of."

Surprise number of the program was Dr. LeCorbeiller's unveiling of his new secret weapon, the Super Band-pass Distortion Eliminator, Deluxe Model. Dr. LeCorbeiller explained his invention in his usual clear manner, so that everyone could understand. The audience was mystified. It was a graphic demonstration of Dr. LeCorbeiller's favorite subject, Signal Distortion, in which, from a mere bull fiddle, the inventor produced the sound of a complete brass band.

After opening the program with the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner," a quartet of staff and students sang three numbers of old fashioned harmony, and Dr. Cornet led a parody on the faculty members, including one on himself, after which Lt. Anspach, concert led a parody on the faculty members, including one on himself, after which Lt. Anspach, concert pianist, played two selections of a more serious nature. Lt. Tirico and Mrs. Anita Clarke Richmond each sang several selections and a duet, Lt. Tirico included a love song called "Les Trois Fils D'Or" by Colonel Fox, accompanied by Mrs. Biggs on the piano and Colonel Fox on the violin.

The first public appearance of the Radar rockets cannot a sensation, to say the feast. We always suspected that Cruft concealed a good many curves, even French curves, but not the kind used for Engineering drawing. The Rocketts also sang two numbers which were written by Yeoman Brill.

After the show, dancing continued, refreshments flowed, and the cupcakes disappeared rapidly. The party ended with the tolling to midnight from the bell in the tower of Memorial Hall. Dr. LeCorbeiller's secret weapon remained to stand guard over the building.
