Swayne Barbara Theiss Lois Townsend Fred Visor Director, H. EDWARD PIKE The Temple University Band, under the direction of H. Edward Pike, carried on this year in spite of the loss of many valued players. The director called on the weaker sex for aid, with the result that about half of its membership is now made up of young ladies, including three female drum majorettes. Because of transportation difficulties, the band was unable to do any travelling this year. However, they appeared at every football game to display their talents between the halv es. Following their usual procedure, the band provided the music for the homecoming pep rally, and for other student rallies throughout the year.
