HashDanceGoesOver With Smash
Program Given
At Intermission
S. U. hep cats enjoyed another
grand night of rug-cuttin’ Satur-
day night when West Gymnasium
was thrown open for the get ac-
quainted hash dance. The music
was supplied by Harry James,
Tommy Dorsey and all the other-
disc favorites. Due to difficulties
beyond our control the orchestras
could not make a personal appear-
ance so we had to be content with
their recordings. However the
night was not entirely barren of
professional talent. Peggy Johns-
ton, Mr. Bigelow, and Gail Bowden
provided an entertaining intermis-
sion with their swell arranged se-
lections.
Mr. D. D. Gray, new student dir-
ector of religious life, was master
of ceremonies for the evening and
began entertainments by introduc-
ing Peggy Johnston for a recita-
tion of “Mary Had a Little Lamb. ’
No, it wasn’t dry at all; she gave
it in three different versions, first
as a little girl; secondly as a young
miss; and lastly as the sophisticat-
ed college senior. She really put
the expression into it. Mr. Bige-
low’s own personal arrangement
of “Hash Rhapsody,” played by
himself on the ivories, won the
greatest applause of the evening.
Its theme was right in phase with
that of the dance. He was so solid
that the crowd hailed him to a
comeback whence he accompanied
them in their singing of “Keep
the Home Fires Burning” and "It’s
a Long, Long Trail.” We don’t
know how it was possible, but they
were both sung and played at the
spine time and you could pick out
either tune to your own choice.
Keep in mind that this was a hash
dance, so anything counted. Gail
Bowden ended the show with two
lovely vocals, “My Shining Hour”
and “My Heart Tells Me.”
Dancing was resumed immedia-
tely after the entertainments. We
thought T. C. Rowen, the hepcat
of hepcats, might have cooled off
during the intermission but he
was back high-steppin’ in no time

chism, “Man’s chief end is to wor-
ship God and to glorify him for-
ever.” Browning put it, “It is
not what a man does but what he
would do that exalts him.”
Of all the things that man can
desire, there is only one that he
can have without robbing some
other man of his possession. That
one thing is the love of God. That
love is the only end in life that
is always beyond, for the perfect
love can not be attained by man.
