Collaborating on the array of 13 new songs are Robert Gibson, who wrote all the music last year, and Stanley Sheppard '37, a graduate student in music who has had a year's experience in a Broadway music publishing house.
Three of the outstanding numbers are a gastronomic comment on amorous disillusionment, "Love is Like a Pickle in a Barrel," a modern love ballad, "Let's Agree to Disagree," and an original tango written and played on the accordion with the orchestra by tennist David S. Burt '40, entitled "La Camarisita" (The Cute Little Chambermaid).
Rehearsals have been directed, for the ninth consecutive year, by Paul G. Anderson.
