homecoming pep rally and
halftime show will be newly
arranged selections from "West
Side Story" "Oliver" and
"Romeo and Juliet." Routines
and formations performed on
the field will be coordinated

scenes preparation accompanies
these performances?
Qualified to answer this
question are director Charles
Trayier; drum majors Walter
Cabe and Jimmy Maudline;
majorettes Sue Churchill Karen
Roomer Chris Nowell and Gena
Choate; and the Big Purple
officers president Steve
Sandifer; vice president Wesley
Ditmore; and secretary Jerl
Pfelfer.
Much of the Big Purple sound
itself may be accredited to music
department head Dr. M. L.
Daniels Sally Johnston and
Trayier who specially arrange
music for the individual needs of
the-band.
All shows routines and
musical arrangements performed

nate with director Trayier and

Dallas Students
To Employment
Metropolitan Dallas area col-
lege students will be offered an
opportunity to seek career
positions with area firms during
the fifth annual "Operation
Native Sons" during the Christ-
mas vacation period.
The employment interviews
for the students are scheduled
for December 29 and 30 at the
Apparel Mart. The project is
again being sponsored by the
Dallas Chamber of Commerce.
Marshall Kemp chairman of
the Special Projects Division of
the Chamber's Education Com-
mittee said this year's program
will be an expanded version of
the successful pattern set in the
past. Last year there were more
than 000 area college students
including several from Abilene
Christian College and almost 00
businesses who participated in
the program.
"The purpose of 'Operation
Native Sons and Daughters' is to
help Dallas area college students
learn of specific job opportuni-
ties in their home community
which otherwise might be
overlooked. Many of the firms
participating in the program do
not conduct on-campus recruit-
ing" Kemp sad.
"All college seniors or gradu-
ate students regardless of
whether their school is located
in or out of state are
encouraged to participate"
"Both employers and students
were very enthusiastic about last
year's program" Kemp added.
"Many students were hired as a
result of the interviews and these
same students quite easily could
have been lost to other cities if
there had been no chance for
them to interview with such a
diversified group of area employers."
