Pastor and Clinton to Play At Annual May Junior Prom
After two false starts, the Junior class finally made up its mind on who to hire to play at the May prom this year. Putting a new twist on the "Biggest dance of the year," the music- minded class has arranged to have two very popular bands, those of Tony Pastor and Larry Clinton. At the beginning of the semester
it was falsely reported that Vaughn Monroe would be the name in the spotlight. That rumor was forced under. On the last day of school before Easter recess, Ray Marchand, who handles all the music work for Junior dances, called together the class to have them vote on their choice of bands.
Marchand put forward a list of twenty-one bands, all available for the dance. Some of the names in¬ cluded in the list were Tex Beneke, Tommy Dorsey, Claude Thornhill, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, et al. But the voters passed these names by, and, picked a duet of orchestras. The first choice was Ray Eberle and Sonny Dunham.
Before final arrangements could be made with the band agency, protests from a number of students reached Marchand, and he was forced to change the original deci¬ sion. As it stands now, the bands will be Pastor and Clinton.
Both bands, according to March¬ and, should please the great major¬ ity, since they are noted for their danceable music.
The price of the bids for this year's dance will be the same as last year, an at-first-glance-stag- gering $7.50. Tickets will go on sale next week. The prom will be held in Gibbons Hall.
Alumni Breakfast Features Address
The Rev. Adalbert Callahan, OFM, former Siena professor, declared that the danger of Secularism far outweighed that of Communism, at the Alumni Association's annual Communion Breakfast held in the College Cafeteria last Sunday. The text of Fr. Callahan's speech will be found on page 4 of this isue.
Fr. Callahan was professor of sociology and Spiritual Director at Siena from 1937 until 1944. He is a noted author and orator, and Chronista of the Province and editor of the Provincial Annals which is published four times a year.
The breakfast was in charge of Alumni president Creighton Brittell, - "41". Philip Hollis, "42", was toast- master and Charles Papa, "41", was general chairman.

Appeals Court Jurist To Talk On Divorce
A special aspect of divorce, annulment, will be discussed by the Hon. Charles S. Desmond, associate judge of the Court of Appeals, at tonight's meeting of the Social Science Forum.
The meeting will be conducted under the chairmanship of the Hon. Francis J. Bergen, Justice of the New York State Supreme Court.
As usual students and their friends are invited to attend, free of charge. The talk will begin at 8 P. M. in Gibbons Hall.
Moose Krause To be Victory Dinner Speaker
"Ed 'Moose' Krause, varsity bas¬ ketball coach of Notre Dame will be the guest speaker at the annual Victory Dinner, April 18," Rev. Maurus Fitzgerald, OFM, said.
Krause, twice an All-American in basketball and football at Notre Dame, is the ideal choice Fr. Maurus feels. "The announced date of April 15 has been changed to April 18 as Krause was unavailable at that time," Fr. Maurus said.
The dinner to be held Sunday night at the Circle Inn will be the occasion for presentation of awards to members of the Varsity and Frosh basketball teams, along with the cheerleaders and members of the Rifle Club. Fr. Maurus, who will make the presentations feels that these groups have turned in one of the best records in Siena's history, and that the dinner is a fitting climax to their performances.
The Very Rev. Mark Kennedy, OFM, president of Siena will greet the guests, and Dan Cunha and Leo Callahan will speak. The as¬ semblage will also include outside guests and sportswriters, which should bring the crowd to approxi¬ mately 500, Fr. Maurus estimates. Jack Vandecar will M.C. and tickets may be obtained from the lobby ticket office at $2.50 each.
Honor Rollers Increase
Even the Office ot Studies can omit important names and events. In this case two honor roll boys were overlooked. Phillip P. Murray, Albany, Business De¬ partment ot thc day school at¬ tained a 2.5 rating to join the members ot the Dean's List. Peter A. Fione, Glens Falls, in the Arts Division of the day session rated an even 2 to join the exclusive list of Siena Col¬ lege.
