DANCE BAND The Dance Band is Hartt's latest addition in trying to present the fullest possible course of music study. This Big Band consists of nineteen members, including the Director, Mr. Alexander Lepak, four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, three percussion and two vocalists. Performances include jazz concerts and educational pro- grams at Hartt and high schools in the Hartford area. Music for this successful group is often arranged by its members and other Hartt students. Their purpose is to teach students interested in this field of music to interpret big band arrangements by par- ticipating in ensemble playing, solo work, and accompanying vocalists. 1 2 2 DELTA PHI ALPHA Delta Phi Alpha was founded in 1957 with thirteen charter mem- bers. Its name, which stands for Strength, Sisterhood, and Activity, also stresses high scholastic goals. The sorority meets each week to discuss and plan its many regular and special activities which include helping the needy on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, co-sponsor- ship with Lambda Phi Alpha of the annual Kampus Kick-off held at the start of each school year, and a gala costume dance held this year in February under the theme Shades of the Orient. This year one of the closed functions was a gourmet's delight. A banquet at which new officers were installed was held in June. The sisters are proud of the motto: Many Hearts, One Cause. Their colors are red, black, and silver, and the lily of the valley is their flower. l DELTA PHI ALPHA First Row: B. Devokaitis, E. Gelinas, S. Ebb, D. Grala, J. Kabai, B. Just, A. Seamon, M.

CHEERLEADERS i'Come on Hartford, let's go, fight, win!' were the words resounding through the gym this year as the cheerleaders, under co-cap- tains Danne Mahon and Elloney Risley cheered the Hawks on to victory. They were an impressive sight in their scarlet sweaters and scarlet, pleated skirts. This striking uniform coupled with sparkling 7 new cheers proved an excellent drawing card for games this year. Their enthusiasm for basketball has done much to spark sup- port and interest in the games. With their help, it is hoped that the team will be spurred on to greater success in the future.
