St. Viator Issues Unique Booklet For Homecoming A snappy g r een and white football program featuring a history ol past Viator football star s, pictures and word sketches of the 1935 edition of Viator Gridmen will soon be off the press. It will also contaJn a schedu le and the line-ups for the home games.
The program, which makes its appearance at the Homecoming game, is the result of efforts of the Rev. F. J . H arbauer, Ath letic Di r ector, William Schumacher, P r ogram Editor, Tony Marik, Adver tising Manage r , and a staff of enthusiastic worker s. Besides serving the purpose of a good souvenir, this book makes pos sible the awar ding of sweaters and letter s to the gridmen who have upheld the colors of Viator during the 1935 football season. In view of this fact, many t hanks should go to those who make possible this program through advertisement, as p atrons and as subscribers.
St. Francis College May Be Dance Guest
A smooth r byth.mj c combination that featu r es many novelties and soloists are the Noble and Donnelly Gold Coaster s, who come f r om Chicago to the Viator Gymnasium Saturday night . William Phelan, '36, Presldent of the College Club, aald earl y this week that the crowd expected at the Homecoming dance will be record-breaking, and the price of admission has been set at $1.50. Just once in a blue moon are Chicago dance enthusiasts excited over a new or chestra, but when the Gold Coasters openeo in the Drake Hotel a year ago, the public found something new and pleasing. Early Popularity For several months previous to the forming of the orchestr~ a clever duo-piano team had risen sensational ly in the eyes of radio fans. It was youthiul. It used sensational arr angements and gave the air lanes something that was different from the conventional. Encour aged by their initial success, Donnelly and Noble organized an or chestra. They auditioned for the Drake Hotel, and Ule management was enthusiastic about their possibilities, and engaged them to open in the famous Gold Coast Room. Their opening night wa.s a huge success, and Chicago dancer s have acc laim ed their innimitable music from that ti me. Every night for many months their fine music was a feature of radio station WGN and the Mutual network.
The Rev. J ohn · Stafford, C. S. V., in his capacity as moderator of th e
College Club ,and Big-Brother to the students at St. Francis College, is arranging a co-operative dan ce between the two groups. The date has not b ee n set, but probably will be announced soon by the College Club. Last year, St. Francis held a tea-dance fo r Viator men, and th e guests have ex pressed their desire to repay the genial hostesses.
