They teach you a lot of stuff which is worth something or other and smile on you benignly all the while. But then comes the final examination. This is all right, as far as it goes. But those of us who walk in the final exam without a watch go through the big ordeal. There are a number of different professors' reactions to a situation of this kind which are commonly indulged in. First there is the kind of Prof. who keeps his silence. You work and work and never know where you're at. And then there is the kind of mentor who booms out at 15-min- ute intervals that it's a 15-minute interval. But the professors we love most of all are the ones who pick up the longest peice of chalk in the room and proceed to scratch the time noisily on the board. While frantically inscribing the latest theories in economic thought on what is known as a bluebook, there is nothing more annoying than a rasping scratch on the black old blackboard. But such is life at college. HALMclT''YRE His band played for Victory Ball dancers Goadman Gives Advice It was on the advice of Benny Goodman that McIntyre left his original eight-piece band in Cram- 'well, Conn., to join Miller. A char- ter member of the outfit, McIntyre roamed with the leader for five years. At Miller's suggestion he decided to organize an orchestra of his own. They have developed a distinctive style, based on muted brass, close harmonic saxes and imaginative work on saxophone and clarinet. The band has ap- peared recently at Broadway's Hurricane Restaurant, the Hotel Commodore and the Sherman Ho- tel. McIntyre has been selected as the outstanding band leader of the year by readers of The Or- chestra World. Two Soloists Featured .Soloists featured by the orches- tra include Al .Nobel and Gloria Van Noble, whose ' father man- aged riding clubs, gained experi- ence as a vocalist on the radio. Interested in horseback riding and polo, he sang with Eddie Lane and Carl Hoff's band before joining McIntyre. Miss Van, brunette song stylist, sang with' Jerry Shelton's band an with Johnny "Scat" Davis. She attended the same high school as Gene Krupa, Bowen High in Chicago, and later joined his or- chestra. Records Acclaimed Ment es recordings have re- ceived wide acclaim from New York critics. Dick Yaffe of the New York Journal-American writes, "is band shows excep- tional taste and skill in arrange- ments and execution.
