Freshmen Expect More Than 250 Guests Here Tonight for Annual Jubilee in Mem Hall

Famous Maestro Will Supply More Sweet Than Swinging Playing

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Drawing more than 250 girls, some of them from half-way across the continent, the Freshman class will this evening open the doors of Memorial Hall for the College's only dance week-end, the Jubilee.

Jimmy Lunceford, nationally known orchestra leader, who rose to fame on his versatility in types of music, will play for the Yardlings and their guests from 10 to 3 o'clock in this biggest of events in the Freshman year.

Harvey Taylor, chairman of the Jubilee Committee, stated yesterday that from all indications this looks as though it would turn out the largest dance ever to be given by a Harvard Freshman class. Besides the 250 girls with their escorts, about 150 Yardlings will probably attend as stags.

Mem Hall Larger

The outstanding innovation of the year is the use of Memorial Hall, which is much larger than the always crowded Union, where the affair used to be held, Decorated so that it no longer has the appearance of an examination hall or a college commons by a crew of volunteers, the huge, high-vaulted hall is festooned with streamers and pennants hiding the tapestries, busts, and stained-glass windows.

Tomorrow afternoon from three to six o'clock, Jack Hill will give the Yardlings music for a tea dance to be held at the Phillips Brooks House. The final event of the Jubilee week-end will be a concert given on the steps of Widener at seven o'clock in the evening.

List of Ushers

The ushers tonight will be Charles B. Ayres, Robert C. Benchley, William W. Bodine, Jr., Charles S. Bridge, Thomas J. Brolderick, Edward R. Browne, Albert M. Chandler, Robert H. Coleman, Thomas Gardiner, Jean I. Gordon, George W. Heiden Gibson B. Kennedy, Morton B. Jackson, John C. Lacy, A. Theodore Lyman, Jr., Vera K. Miller, Joseph F. Romano, Frederick C. Spreyer, David B. Stearns, Robert Winner III, Lothrop Withington, and Howard W. Young.
