I 1 1 1 1 ! Seated: Christensen. Belshaw. Van lerah. Burns. Hamper, Wilcox. Standing: Baldwin. Hansen. Lights burned in .?0. With elbows propped tip, eyes drowsily half closed, watching Miss Baldwin scribble the last of the negative brief on the crammed board, our worthy arguers frantically gathered stray facts into their grey matter to help them win their next debate on Resolved, that the power of the Federal Government should he decreased. Ah — those nights of constant work — those days spent in Mr. Mabie’s office— those trips to fair neighboring cities. Faith Belshaw. Bob Hansen. Iris Wilcox. Betty Rose Burns. Betty Van Vlerah. Bunny Hamper, and our substitute, Doris Christensen did a fine job — our hats are off to them! Church. Whiters. I iwrance. Xelsen. Wolverton. Strutting in front of our band came our five majorettes, Fllen Lawrance, Geraldine Wolverton. Mary Lou Whiters, Conchita Nelson, and Sallv Church, flashing, in their new purple and gold jack ets and skirts, with white-foot perfection in their degree of marching. A success this year, a must for next. Credit goes to the Junior High Council for furnishing the funds for the material in the satin outfits. (Three cheers for our Junior High!) Remember how the baton twirled over the goal posts? Remember how their lighted batons furnished the propellors for the band “airplane formation? C25J Thn t jR, tpottsorui hr . . Ritzema, Uabtrdmbtt

And the band played on, On Greenville” in fact, while inarching on down the field between the halves of our football season. The members were awe inspiring in their uniforms of purple and gold, with their renditions of spirit-raising marches. With the coining of winter and less opportunity to practice marching and forming intricate designs, more time could be devoted to concerts, public appearances. and the playing of such wonderful tunes as the Big Ten Medley. I nder Mr. I. A. Robbins some fifty-three musicians play all through the year. If you think you're lucky getting out in June, pity the band that plays all summer. “C’mon team, c’mon team, Fight! Fight! Fight !’ And fight they did ; but who wouldn’t with all the pep those gals turn loose into the air? How about the time at the I'nion High gym? Did they wow ’em? You ain’t kiddin’, brother, these cheerleaders were good. Jeannette Fries, Theo llohn den. Frances Van Allen, and Fleanor Corned were the girls who led our praises. Credit is due to them also for some new yells, which were enthusiastically applauded. Holnulcn, Fries. Van.Mien. Corncil I f f I I I 1

There they go again! Off on another trip! Those lucky F. F. A. boys. Ask any of them why they rate so. and the inevitable answer is “organization!” Could be that’s right, too. With “Buck” Newman as their proxy, and Mr. Pfahler as the guiding hand (but never a killjoy), these Future Farmers of America had a big year. In the fall they sprinkled sawdust on the gym floor and held their big agriculture fair. Yup. Those were their candy bars you bought this winter at the basketball games. Then in the spring they took a well earned trip to East Lansing for a couple of days. Well! With many a “Lips, teeth, tip of the tongue” and “tra-la-la. the Girls’ Glee Club has sung around another school year. One can hear its sweet melodies floating through the deathly calm of the session fourth hour or after school. Many a nice spring day the girls regretfully stayed up at Alma Mater to practice for a concert or a program. This practice has been well worth while, as proved by the successful performances given this year. This year the (dee Club has been one of the best ever to be produced by Greenville. 1 f I I I I I
