Change Organization This is the third year of existence for the stage band, which was formed by Mr. Vycital to replace the old concert band. It became increasingly difficult to find sufficient instrumentation in the various sections to perform some of the better works, and for this reason a change to the eighteenmember, adult band was made. The instrumentation includes five saxophones, four trombones, four trumpets, a piano, a guitar, bass and drum. The purpose of the stage band is to bring back favorites of the 'thirties, as well as playing new and modern music. A mong their selections are special arrangements of tunes from movies and Broadway hits. This Friday's program will feature songs by Jo Ann Tatge and a duet by Miss Tatge and George Freund. Her solo will be "Birth of the Blues" and the duet will be "Sentimental Journey." Selections by the band include the theme from "Lawrence of Arabia", "Cute", "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You", "Swinging the Petite Waltz", "The Beach Hop", "Saint Louis Blues", "South To Caracas", "Jungle Drums", "Diggin" Roots", "Good Bait", "Back Home Again In Indiana", "Bill Batfey" and "I Remember Basie". ~ Anise is the seed of the dried fruit of a small, parsley-like plant that grows widely in Spain, Mexico, and China. f y <?

McHENRY MAN ! CAPTAINS NEW> 1 RECORD JUMP (Continued Fran Page 1) at Fort Bragg, N. C. on June 6. The jump has yet to be confirmed by officials of the Parachute Club of America (1*CA) and Federation Aeronautique Internationale before being entered as the new world night jump record. A KC-130F Hercules transport aircraft of Marine Aerial Refueler/Transport Squadron- 252 (VMGR-252), 2d Marine Aircraft Wing flew the team at record altitude for the huskey transport. Previous Attempt The jumpers previously made an effort to break the day freefall record for a seven through nine-man team. During the day record attempt, the aircraft managed to climb to 43,500 feet, the same altitude attained in setting the past day record. Due to the limited number of barographs (instruments utilized to monitor record attempts) available, the Marines decided to pass up further day attempts in favor of all-out assault on the night free-fall record, established by the Russians in 1961. Preparations for the record attempts began May 22 when jumpers from the parachute clubs of Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune, N. C., met at Cherry Point for a briefing by 1st Lt. R. A. Mathews, Jr., president of the Cherry Point club and captain of the record breaking team. Numerous practice jumps were made May 23 and 24 at the club drop zone at Fountain, N. C., to familiarize the jumpers with the Hercules aircraft and high altitude jump equipment. One of the jumps was a night drop to test the lights mounted on the chutist's helmets and chest packs and establish night jump procedures. On May 26 the jumpers and crew members of the aircraft spent the afternoon undergoing low pressure chamber training at the Cherry Point aviation physiology training section. Here they were acquainted with the use of oxygen equipment and factors governing un-( pressurized flight at high altitudes. Practice Jump The first record attempts were scheduled for May 27 at Oak Grove, Pi. 6. A practice jump from 25,000 feet was made this date before heavy clouds and thundershowert CAREY APPLIANCE, Inc lih X. (Ivan St. \Wllii»in . I ' H I McIIcury. III.

Bad weather enveloped the area until the afternoon of June 3. Meanwhile, military comm i t m e n t s c a u s e d s e v e r a l jumpers to drop out of the program and a call went out for experienced chutists to come to Cherry Point, N. C. to fill out the team. Two jumpers from the West Coast and another from the Quantico, Va., club answered the call in time to make day jumps from 25 and 30,000 feet into Oak Grove. N. C': .The new jumpers brought the team total to eleven qualified parachutists. On June 4, all was ready for the attempt on the 43,500 foot record previously set by the Army and Air Force last year. A high altitude jump was made the morning of June 4. Eight jumpers exited the plane at 41,000 feet to free-fall into the Fountain drop zone. The remaining three jumpers left the aircraft three minutes later, free-fall td 25,000 feet where they activated reefed parachutes (a special parachute rigged to stream until fully deployed by t lie lumper) streamed to 10,000 feet, finally opening their chutes and drifting slowly to the drop zone below. Monitor Attempts After the plane dropped the parachutists, it continued on to Pope Air Force base, where it met three officials of the Parachute Club of America (PCA) and brought them to MCAF, New River, N. C. to monitor the record attempts. At New River the PCA officials explained the use of the barograph recording instrument, carried- by the plane and by each jumper to document the jumps. At 4 p.m. the jumpers, a flight surgeon, a PCA official, and the crew boarded the air* craft to make the record attempt. Two hours later the KC-130F was struggling ut throupa the troposphere trying to surpass 43,500 feet to allow the jumpers to break the record. " Observers on the ground could just see the contrails of the huge plane as it made its final pass for the jump. An hour later, the jumpers were debriefed at MCAF, New River. Estimates made by jumpers, the plane crew» and PCA officials indicated that the team may have tied or exceeded the previous record for the day jump. Barographs.recording the jump will have to be examined by officials at Edwards AFB, Calif, to confirm the record. While at New River, the decision was made for an attempt on the night record. Final Jump The final record jump was scheduled for 1:45 a.m. by nine of the eleven jumpers. During the plane's final approach the pilot turned on his landing lights to aid the ground crew In locating his position. At 1:45 a.m., June 6, the parachutist stepped out into the 65 degree below zero sky. The team captain, Lt. Mathews, fired night flares, beginning at 20,000 feet, to mark their position during the free-fall. At 5,000 feet the other eight jumpers also fired flares. On the drop zone, the ground crew marked the target area by igniting flares to guide the jumpers.
