The first Military Ball was held in 1918, when the ROTC band and "Ike's Jazziest" seven-piece orchestra provided music. AT ONE TIME, sentries were posted at the entrance and the patron's box. A formal color guard .. changed at 15-minute intervals, and at intermission,. a crack drill team performed silent drill. Another year, the decorations 'b"i featured a miniature pontoon bridge into the ballroom, with the band sitting behind a mock trench. The first college dance ever to be broadcast was the 1922 Military Ball. For many years, the dance ranked with J-Hop as one of the z two most important formals on campus. It has always promised ri an evening of good music with all the pomp and dignity of the mili- tary. HOWEVER, Military Ball was discontinued during World War II. It has been revived recently again. According to chairman Jack hY Waters, the dance "will again reach its pre-war excellence this year." Waters has urged that all former officers especially plan to attend. He commented that some have outgrown their olds' uniforms, but may come in for- mal attire in such case. Tickets for the dance are on! sale now at ROTC headquar ters, next to the Union, and at Naval ROTC headquarters in North Hall. JGP NOT ES Dance.

Since the war, among many other things, he has built or enlarged 2,800 buildings.. . scores of them large enough to fit into the skyline of a modern metropolis. These buildings are more than brick, mortar and tele- 'phone equipment. They are jobs for thousands of men and women . . . more and better telephone service for millions of people . . . more business for the towns and cities in which they are located. But most important of all, they are an indication of the Bell System's earnest efforts to keep up with the nation's ever growing needs for communications service, BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM I0n ' __ _ _. __..,_....r_..._ i "E Central Committee from 4 to 6 p.m. today will meet in Room C.
