Pep and school spirit were consistently aroused and maintained throughout the year by the attractively be- decked band pictured above. The band, in their purple and gold uniforms, making a striking appearance whether in marching or concert formation. At sporting events throughout the year this organization added much to the thrill of the game by playing both martial and swing music. At numerous assemblies during the year the students were kept awake by the beat of the drum and the blare of the horn, as well as by the excellent baton twirl- ing of Delphine Wyckoff and Mary Ruth Brandon. The band under the very able direction of Mr. Ralph Wallingford performed often throughout the year for the benefit of the Band Regalement Fund. The business of the band was transacted by President Leon Reneau, Vice president Bill Dustin and secretary-treasurer Ida Mae Foster. INSTRUMENTAL » »

CATIONS In addition to the Grizzly Growls the journalism club published a mimeographed leaflet, The Jinx , a humor- ous publication much enjoyed by the students. The Growls reported news events of all school activ- ities and various features and editorials. One column especially enjoyed by readers was the Scoop column written by Virginia Crawford. The journalism club sponsors the paper and passes on its policies. The officers of the club were Virginia Crawford, president; Bob Stafford, vice-president and student council representative ; Evelyn Davidson, secre- tary-treasurer, and Winifred Grist, program chairman. The faculty advisor of the club was Mr. G. Haldane Crooks. The annual, the Grizzly Growl, was published at the close of the school year. Bob Stafford, editor-in-chief, and Jim Hayes, business manager, were elected to their places by the student council. The photography editors were Kenneth Grady and Roberta Barker. Oliver Hughes, editor of last year ' s annual, served on the staff and parti- GRIZZLY GROWL ANNUAL STAFF Editor Assistant Editor - - Engraving Editor Photograph Editors - Business Manager - Ass ' t Business Manage Sponsor - - - - Bob Stafford - Bob Sharp Oliver Hushes - Kenneth Grady Roberta Barker - Jim Hayes - Audrey Mack Miss Milford cularly handled printing and engraving contacts. Assist- ants to the editor and business manager were Bob Sharp and Audrey Mack ; Miss Milford was sponsor. The staff attempted to follow the modern trend of annuals in replacing the formal posed group pictures with action photos and informal shots, when at all possible. This change, while making for a more interesting book, presents many difficulties in getting good action photo- graphs. In some layouts the quality of the photographic work is not what the staff would have liked to have, but with the resources and facilities available is the best that it was possible to get.

MUSIC The Calvacade of American Song, January 30, will be remembered by the entire community as well as by the junior college as an outstanding musical program. The history of American music was pre- sented in the form of songs, new and old. The girls ' trio, the girls ' octet, the boys ' octet, and the entire mixed chorus partici- pated in this song fest. The mixed chorus, dressed as negroes, sang spirituals and other songs of the Old South. The boys ' octet, gathered around a campf ire, typified the West with cowboy songs. Modern music was represented in songs sung by the girls ' trio. In this program the music department was assisted by the choral groups from the grade schools and the high school. Another successful accomplishment of the college music department was the vesper service held in the college audi- torium the Sunday before Christmas. Be- fore a beautiful mosaic stained-glass win- dow as a background the choir sang Christ- mas carols and spirituals. Jeanne Thompson, Erma Viele, and Roberta Holt made up the girls ' trio, which made many public and radio appearances. The girls ' octet appeared before civic or- ganizations, assemblies, and in church services. The boys ' octet took part in many programs both local and in rural school districts throughout the county. The girls ' octet was made up of Mir- riam Smith, Jeanne Thompson, Winifred Grist, Erma Viele, Maxine Miller, Phyllis Robison, Margaret Wiley, and Roberta Holt. The members of the boys ' octet were Jack Schuster, Harding Lawrence, Harry Barr, Clair Daniels, Bill Dustin, Max Hill, and Delmont Jackson. These special groups and a mixed chorus of about forty- five members were under the supervision of Miss Merle Fischer. VOCAL.
