...lends a note of informality that's always welcome, even at a white tie and orchid affair. Last week at Winthrop, a lot of the fun was due purely to the fact that three was a nice domestic atmosphere, what with everybody coming up to request We Three and ask the lead alto for his Ec 61 notes. Well, maybe I'm all wet, but those are the kind of dances I like, and I hope we have more of them...
...dress. So far this year it has concentrated on the present situation of France, to the exclusion of almost all the old material. Professor Andre Morize, Andre Maurois, and Father Ducatillon, a Dominican monk, have given lectures on various phases of beaten and divided France. The hour exams now ask: What is the line of German occupation? What French colonies have joined De Gaulle? and Why does Marshal Petain ask for a return to the soil?

Nobody is a swell pop tune sung by Helen Forest, who seems to be more and more influenced by Billie Holiday. The arrangement is very good; ideal for dancing. Henderson is typical orchestration by the arranger for whom the tune was named. Very unpretentious stuff, but the kind that really kicks. Scoring of brass against reed passages reminiscent of the famous chase chorus on Stealin' Apples. Benny...
