Reese Popular Gorgeous Gail Reese is one of the very few female vocalists who was born in New York City. Her first professional job was in Long Island in 1934. Since that time she has been featured in The Riviera, The Walton Roof in Philadelphia, with Charlie Barnet's orchestra, with Carl Ravel and his orchestra. During their engagement here Berigan and his band will play for three dances. A formal affair Fri- day night from 9:00 'till 2:30. A tea dance Saturday afternoon 3:30 'till 6:00, and an informal dance Saturday night 8:30 'till 12:00. Freshmen Date The CDA has announced that Freshmen may have dates for the dances. Bids have been going rap- idly and all other indications point to a very gala affair. The fieldhouse will be elaborately decorated in the characteristic Clemson motif, and Bunny Berigan and his band will be here to furnish sauve swing rhythms for dancing pleasure.

MORE ABOUT SWING STARTS ON PAGE ONE appeal. One lets down his hair and lets go—so to speak. Waltz Me Around Thirty years ago the Boston Waltz was the vogue. In the Clemson Tiger of 1907 the waltz at one of the proms is described as "flowing music breathing the soft winds of romance." Swing of today could hardly be described in like manner by the most fevered imagi- nation. Then came the movements of change. Tin Pan Alley brought with it Irving Berlin, song writer from Eastside New York and rag- time music was born. First came "Alexander's Ragtime Band," a hastily composed piece which is the probable progenitor of ragtime, jazz, and finally swing. Other Ber- lin pieces included "That Mysteri- ous Rag" and "Everybody's Doing It," which firmly established rag- time and brought new steps into existence—"The Turkey Trot, Bun- ny Hug, Grizzly Bear" and such variations as "Humpback Rag, Gaby Glide, Shiver and the Gotham Gobble." Dancing became inspired with a nervous violence and Pla- ta's conception of dance must have suffered in the eyes of the esthetic.
