Natalie Dobson, Mary Kohut, Ialry Nichols. Almost the first day of school it began marching and playing-X periods. after school, and eve- nings. This was an important year for the band, as it carried on the fund-raising campaign begun the year before, and, with Eng days adding to the generous contributions of Dedham organizations, finally had the necessary S1200 for new uniforms. As this was written, the band had made only one public appearance in its new hnery- when it went to the Band Festival at New Bedford-and those who hadnt seen the new uniforms then were looking forward to the Memorial Day parade. when they were to be displayed to the whole Town of Dedham. The drum majorettes proved such an attraction at games that Mr. Beattie was planning to have a whole corps of them ready for next fall. He also was hoping that the new uniforms would induce many more pupils to join the band-free games, free fun, free instruction, all this and credit points, too! The new uniforms were designed by Sylvia Mc- Guire. . Needless to say. this talented girl was a member of the one and only class of 1949. FIRST ROW - 'l'. Vllatson, J. Hampe, E. Hzirju, S. Allen. G.

Iso Elected - the lhlelic ouncil ATHLETIC COUNCIL Pauline Robertson, Lawrence Green, Mr. Eaton, Robert Wallace, Mr. Yonker. The election of the Athletic Council emphasized the fact that fall is an important time in sports -particularly football. It was the athletic coun- cil's job to make the schedules for all the high schools sports, to OK. contracts with other schools, and to provide care for injured players. The council is composed of Mr. Thomas Yonker, faculty managerg Mr. Ralph A. Eaton, principal, and an elected representative from each of the three upper classes. Mr. Eaton served as president of the council this year. james Wzilsli was vice- president. and Pauline Robertson, secretary. CHEIER CLYB OFFICERS .loan Starr, .Iune Brarlhury, Hell-nmaiit Doe, Kathleen Rooniy. There is little publicity given to the activities of the Athletic Council, but the work it does is appre- ciated by every D.H.S. rooter. Early fall was also the time when D.H.S. cheers echoed through the corridors after school as the Cheer Club got going. Nearly every girl in school belongs to the Cheer Club, the purpose of which, naturally enough, is to form an organized cheering section at the school games. The girls pictured on this page were the ollicers of the club. I-lelenmarie Doe was presidentg Joan Starr, vice-presidentg june Bradbury, treasurer, and Kathleen Rooney, secretary. The club earned S145 with its Pigskin Parade dance and used the money to hire buses for out-of- town games. The girls all wore red and gray beanies on these trips and provided an attractive advertisement of Dedham's school spirit. Mrs. York and Mr. O'Neil, who acted as chap- erons on the bus trips, were elected honorary mem- bers of the club. The Cheer Club is still a rather new Dedham High activity. Its leaders won't be satisfied until every pupil here is a member of it.
