-EDNESDAT EB. 14, 1940 - TT IF, MTVTTTe N Iri A TT V Griff Williams'Orchestra To Play At Annual Caducet is Ba _ ._ _.__ _ . Chairmanships 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. Final Tryouts Will Be Today JGP Cast To Be Chosen In Mendelssohn Theatre Today is the last day for junior .women to try out for "Hi-Falutin"', the 1940 JGP; and Richard McKel- vey, director of the play, will con- tinue casting from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in the League.

Three features of the program are new: the participation of University students, the presentation of a dance pantomime entitled "Cinderella," and the marionnette show "Sleeping Beauty."
