Nice swing dance number performed by the Dartmouth College Barbary Coast Orchestra, recorded Dec 7, 1942.  Not a whole lot of info available for the orchestra during this period.  Found these old recordings at a garage sale.

This looks like a studio recording.  I don't know if any of these tunes ever made it to a major label.  Might be pretty rare...
