Prewar Senior Cakewalk Featured Name Bands
Does anyone remember the Senior Cakewalk? It was a traditional affair of the senior classes for many years.
The Cakewalk was the farewell party of the senior class each spring, but was discontinued in 1942 because big name bands, the key idea of the affair, were becoming difficult to book.
The last successful senior Cakewalk dance was held in Hoeh Auditorium in 1939, when Kay Kyser's orchestra played.
Before 1925, the Cakewalk resembled a senior party more than a dance. These old parties were planned carefully to fall on the night of a full moon. In those days readings were recited and punch served—with a little waltzing on the side.
Some of the name bands who played for the Cakewalk in the 1930s were Fletcher Henderson, Maurie Sherman, Bob Crosby, and Bobby Meeker.
In 1942 the Cakewalk was discontinued because classes became smaller during the war years and commencements were held at any time of the year.
