Perfor- mances will be held at 3:30 p.m. Fri- day and 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Sat- urday in the Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre of the League. The plot of the play centers around a group of children of the American colonies, some from the immediate neighborhood, one a trapper's son, one a Quaker, some Tory refugees, who are all striving to stay hidden together in an old farmhouse near the scene of the battle of Saratoga. During the course of the play, an American scout and a British officer are in the house at the same time, a situation which calls forth all the ingenuity of the youngsters as well as that of "Aunt Polly," a Tory refu- gee who finds it necessary to flirt with the officer to keep his attention while the children get the scout out of the house. Cast Is Announced Taking the roles of Miss Polly and Captain Chauncy are Mary Ellen Wheeler, '41, and William Mills, '41, respectively. Adult parts Silas and Scott will be played by Justina Fair- banks, and Edward Davis. Other members of the cast include Jim Stephenson, '43, Alf; John Hath- away, Steve; Molly Wilson, Mary; Bruce Allen, Bill; Dude Stephenson, Joe; Dick Hager, Simon; Virgil Fair- Banks, Pete; Dorothy Dice, Gloria; Portia Middlesworth, Olive; Margot Eschelbacher, Gretchen; Nancy Cory, Corina; and Barbara Allen, Georgia, all of whom take the parts of the children.

Season ticket holders are re- minded that they must call for seat reservation before each play.

Everett Hoagland's Orchestra Will Play For Engineering Ball _____- -- -- -- One Of Nation's Youngest Band Leaders Has Had Interesting Career "Music Designed For Dancing" will arrive in Ann Arbor next week in the persons of Everett Hoagland and his Orchestra to furnish the music for the Engineering Council's annual winter Engineering Ball from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, Jan. 17 in the Union Ballroom. Tickets for the dance are being sold from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. today in the lobby of the East Engineering Building and on the second floor above the Aich in the West Engineering Building. Tomorrow tickets will also be avail- able in the Union. Hoagland, who is one of the young- est band leaders in the country, is well-known for his extensive musical background which, it is said, is rare- ly equalled among the modern day dance maestros. Studied Music at Six His musical education began at the age of six when he was a student suc- cessively of the piano, violin, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet and oboe. He topped this off with a study of ar- ranging and composition at the Con- Sequins Lenad Sophistication- And Glamour "One little, two little, three little sequins" may not look like very much when alone, but put a lot of them to- gether and you have a glittering, dazzling creation to suit the heart of any "femme fatale," and the same thing goes for beads and the vari- colored paillettes to be seen on so many formal clohtes this season. There's one stunning dinner dress with a dark, slim skirt topped by a riot of color in a sequin-banded bo- dice and it has sleeves, elbow-length, of the same color and material as the skirt. Those more and more popu- lar paillettes come into the limelight now in a black dinner dress of alter- nated bands of paillettes and black crepe sweeping from the neckline to the hem in an ultra-sophisticated'cre- ation. ' Formal clothes and dinner dresses seem to have more or less of a mono- poly on this form of decoration and there are certainly some striking out- fits 'glimmering and shining around. For the individual who likes to startle her friends into admiration with that indefinable something she attains by wearing the newest and most unusual in the fashion-world, there's a lus- cious floor-length pinafore entirely of coal-black paillettes shining de- lectably over a lace blouse with huge sleeves. Oh yes, and the skirt of the pinafore is slyly slit from the hem to about the middle of the legs on both sides. Even though black is tops for so- phisticates here's a number in white to make any clothes-lover's mind wander. It's a draped white wool evening dress with a girdle and wide front panel of crystal beads and dead- white paillettes. The bodice is simple and on Grecian lines and the skirt is full and shimmering with what look like a million diamonds. There's another evening creation of pink jer- sey with a jacket of black wool garn- ished with pink sequins and pearls and it really fits that descriptive slang word, "lush." We can't help mentioning another smooth number in black made to wear over a slinky evening dress. It's a sleeveless jersey of chenille dotted with pieces of jet, which is another ever-more-popular added attraction. EVERETT HOAGLAND servatory of Music at the University 'of Southern California. Before forming his own band, Hoagland played with orchestras in several Los Angeles Theatres and the Ambassador Hotel and Montmarte Cafe in Hollywood. He later became head of the musical department at RKO studios. Hoagland opened his first series of band engagements with his own orchestra at the Publix Theatres which was soon followed by appear- ances in the largest hotels in Texas. Returning to Los Angeles he replaced George Olsen's band at the latter's club. Recently Toured Theatres More recently the young conductor has toured many of the nation's "first-run" theatres including the Fox in Detroit; the Earle in Wash- ington; the Stanley in Pittsburgh, and the Earle in Philadelphia. Among the hotels in which Hoag-' land has played are the Waldorf- Astoria in New York where he fol- lowed Benny Goodman; the Ritz- Carlton in Boston; the Baker Hotel in Dallas; the Cleveland Hotel in Cleveland, and the Rice Hotel in Houston. Featured with the orchestra will be Don Burke, whose voice, critics claim, resembles that of Bing Crosby. The young vocalist has been heard on most of Hoagland's coast-to-coast broadcasts over the CBS and Mutual networks.

Miss Rasquin was the first em- ploye in the New York City office of the Foundation when it was organ- ized by Basil O'Connor, former law partner of President. Roosevelt, in November, 1938. Recipient of many funds including the money gained from the annual President's Birth- day Ball to be held the end of this month, the main purpose of the or- !ganization, Miss Rasquin pointed out, is to conduct investigations to determine the causes of infantile paralysis, to seek the means of pre- vention and then to alleviate con- ditions in stricken areas. crippling of those unfortunately af- flicted with it," the blonde, youthful ex-executive said. "The Foundation has grown so rapidly during its first two years in existence, that in case of an emer-I gency, it is able to rush splints or respirators to any section of the country within one day", Miss Ras- quin disclosed. College Is Necessary For Her Asked why she left such a fascin- ating job to take up her studies at the University, Miss Rasquin unhesi- tatingly replied, "I felt I wanted to do something big for the Founda- tion, and without the cultural back- ground that college would give me I wouldn't be able to fulfill my de- sire." The "biggest kick" she informed me that she has received thus far on campus was back in November when the Men's Glee Club serenaded New Student Gives Up National Executive Position For College By RhODA LEISHINE Trying To Prevent Disease Bubbling over with an enthusias- "Until the time when we find the tic interest as she mentioned every- cause of the disease, the Foundation thing from her personal acquaint- is working on ways to prevent the --1 P 1-1- ~- A.-.+1)-,.-4.4-1..

"No matter what I get from col- lege-and I'm getting Toads-I know that when I return to the National Foundation I'll be able to do so much more," was the last remark of this confident young woman-a girl with a future.
