Of Committees
Are Announced
Dance Theme Is Based
On Trials, Tribulations
Of Medical School Life
Griff Williams and his orchestra,
featuring vocalists Buddy Moreno
and BobnKirk, will play for the sev-
enth annual Caduceus Ball to be
held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Wednes-
day, Feb. 21, in Union ballroom, Jack
Hodgson, '40M, general chairman,
announced yesterday.
Williams' engagement to play for
the annual medical formal, tradition-
ally held on the eve of Washington's
birthday, might be termed poetic
justice, Hodgson said, for the ver-
satile orchestra leader and composer
was well on his way to an M.D. de-
gree at Stanford University before
finally deciding to follow a musical
career.
Williams will come to Ann Arbor
from Chicago where he has just fin-
ished a record engagement at the
Stevens Hotel.
Committee heads who will assist
Hodgson in directing central com-
mittee work include Arby Bailey,
'40M, tickets; Paul LeGolvan, '40M,
decorations; Phillip Turner, '40M,
music; Horace Allen, '40M, patrons,
and Robert Christiansen, '41M, pub-
licity.
Mason Maynard, '41M, and Loren
Wanless, '40M, will also serve on the
ticket committee, while Allen Mac-
Donald, '40M, Howard Lawrence,
'41M, and Donald Eppler, '41M, will
helpdLeGolvan with decorations for
the dance.
The trials and tribulations suffered
by the medical student from the date
of his enrollment through his com-
pletion of the course will form the
main theme of the ball, LeGolvan
said.
Caduceus Ball takes its name from
the caduceus emblem, the staff of
Apollo the Healer entwined with two
snakes, which is now used as the
official insignia of the medical pro-
fession.

Three features of the program are

cal Children's Theatre tradition -
that is, they were played by children
to a children's audience. The third,
"Dick Whittington and His Cat,"

first musical comedy attempted by
the group. Close on its heels come

features-the marionette show and
dance pantomime, and including in

students as well as a group of chil-
dren.
Music for "Cinderella" has been
arranged by Stanley Lock, and in-
cludes some original scores of his"
own. Lock will also direct his or-
chestra during the performances, and
thereby scores. another "first" for

initial appearance. of an orchestra
in the pit during a Children's The-
atre program.

derella in the dance pantomime, and
Joseph Gornbein, '41, will have the
male lead as the Prince. Mrs. Sara
Graf will play the mother role, and
the parts of the sisters will be taken
by Bernice Wolfson, '40, and Char-
lotte Kinney. Alexander Miller,
Red Nichols and his famous Pen-
nies have been engaged co play for

dance, to be held from 10 p.m. to 2
a.m. Friday, March 1 in the Union
ballroom, Edgar Gibson, general!
chairman, announced yesterday.
Gibson also stated that tickets for
the dance will go on sale from 1:30
p.m. to 5:30 p.m., tomorrow and Fri-
day, at the Union bus desk. Tickets
will cost two dollars and a half and
will be sold only to freshmen who
present their identification cards at
the time of the purchase, Gibson
said.
A Hawaiian theme of decorations,
replete with leis for the orchestra'
and a southern atmosphere, will be
carried out at the dance where pa-
trons will' be transported from the
wind and chills of March in Ann

mer."

the dance are held by Olga Gruhzit,
