rhythmic tom-tom beaters of the Cro Magnon men turn

night West Georgia’s “Collegiate Swingsters” were
swinging it out. Led by no less personage than our old
maestro of the mountains, Merlin Gossoninni, who waved
a baton that resembled a fugitive from a logging camp.
The chant of the true jitterbug broke his lips at frequent
intervals.
Cowed but not to be outdone by‘
their fearsome leader, the remain
der of the group huddled about.
