one of our possessions of

we shall be using it all

other social events boocuse
of the curtailment of ex
penses in all colleges and universities.
I am asking that you trent our phono

any delicate machine. If you do not know
how to operate it, please don't try, as
mistreatment can c~use extr~ exponse and
do awo.y with our one source of music •••
It see~s that Coach Faber and his physi

tha.t a house orchestra, made up of both

brought up. One night it wus decided
tha.t a house orchestra, made up of both
