SWISS YODELERS APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Echoes of Switzerland were pro¬ vided in the assembly of September 25, when Mme. Marcelle Grand- ville and Fritz Zimmerman, noted concert artists, clad in picturesque, native Swiss costumes, entertained the student body by explaining the yodel and yodeling in the typical mountain fashion. One clever conception was that in which the artists echoed each other, while another number, enti¬ tled “Yodeling the Blues Away,” was received enthusiastically by the students. Other numbers included “The Happy Yodel er” and “Fearless in the Mountains.” First Dance On Tuesday With the first student body dance of the year scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, October 6, at 3 p. m., social activities at the junior college will hit full stride next week.
