Drew Praise
The initiation list, which was released yesterday, drew praise from Don Simonian. worthy grand master of Skull and Dagger.
“We feel that this year’s initiation class represents one of the finest in Skull and Dagger’s 44-year history,” he said. “Although grades weren't the prime factor in selecting new members, it was gratifying to find that the accumulative grade average of the 26 students tapped was 2.75.”
Tradition Restored
“This class is also unique in t^at, through today’s informal initiation, an old Skull and Dagger tradition is restored,” Sim-onion added. “It had been traditional for new members to dress in tux tails and top hat on the day the tappee roster was publicly announced. However, this phase of the initiation was curtailed in 1952. In renewing the tradition this year, we added an extra attraction — Bermuda shorts.”

Comedy Depicts History of Man

A giant parade—sometimes solemn, and sometimes funny—took place in Bovard Auditorium last night in the drama department’s opening presentation of “The Skin of Our Teeth,” a parade of the human race from its beginning through the ice age, the flood and a world war.

Thus, another popular musician is added to the already star-studded roster of name musical celebrities who will be official guests and judges for the biggest Songfest yet. More than tweny-one people from the musical and entertainment fields are scheduled to make an appearance.
Top Arrangers
Riddle, who is currently one of the top arrangers in the business, started in music at the age of eight, taking piano lessons. By the time he was 14, he had mastered the trombone, and ten years later he began his big-time career as first trombonist for the late Tommy Dorsey, From there, Riddle, who is only 35, skyrocketed. He went with the bands of Charlie Spivak and later with Jerry Wald. During the first World War, he served in the special services division, playing in and arranging for the Army band.
Joined Crosby After the war, Riddle joined the Bob Crosby organization, where he concentrated on arranging. When he left Crosby, Riddle joined the staff at NBC, where he stayed until 1950. Then he decided it was time to go it alone—as a free-lance artist. Riddle’s first arrangement was

Aptly Played
Mrs. Antrobus is aptly and sensibly played by Carol Ann Daniels. The character is actually Eve and the mother of the human race. She is the practical one—The careful and responsible teacher of the children.
Herb Pataki is one of the very best in the play with his interpretation of Henry Antrobus, who is Cain in reality. Peter Hayman who alternates with Pataki in the part every other night doesn't portray Henry with much aliveness or bring the part;
mysterious and with strange knowledge of the occult.
Play’s End The ending of the play recreates the first scene of the play except that the Antrobus house is a little older and a little more time worn. The Antrobus family has gained more knowledge but we still know that more falls and beginnings are in store for them.

He then hit the top ten with his arrangement—and conducting—on Ella Mae Morse’s hit, “Blacksmith Blues.” Later, he entered the writing end of the music business. and produced “Lisbon Antiqua,” another million-record seller.
