Do you remember this familiar line from Seven Sisters, the hilarious three-act comedy presented by the juniors under the direction of Miss Shir Lee Boggs? The plot of the play centers around Mitzi, a girl of nineteen, who cannot marry 'til her three older sisters do. and the strange young man who schemes with her to marry off the sisters. The cast won't forget the grueling hours of rehearsal, nightly refreshments, Oscar awards, those inevitable missed cues, the pranks, and the fun of play practice which all led to the successful grand finale on November 17.

More pep at West Point High is the motto which the Pepperettes have endeavored to uphold. Fostering school spirit—serving WP at all times — promoting good sportsmanship — making bus trips to out-of-town games— shouting themselves hoarse for the school— presenting skits at pep rallies—sponsoring the annual Pep Club Athletic banquet are the activities of the Pep Club. This organization composed of fifty-two members, adopted a new constitution this year. Sponsors are Miss Flora Bergt and Miss Jennie Peck.

Ruth Honsel, Marlen Wood-ka, Mary Jean Leisy, Dorothy Peatrowsky Forty-one talented musicians bedecked in flashing new red and white uniforms, many hours of early-morning practice, a few snappy marching routines, and a new and enthusiastic director, Mr. A1 Clement, combined to make the Cadet band one of which we are really proud. During the football season the band led the down-town pep rallies, participated in the homecoming parade and crowning festivities, and presented half-time marching maneuvers at the games. A pep band provided music for the basketball rallies and games. Traveling to Wayne for their homecoming parade, marching at Stanton and Scribner, giving a Winter Concert on December 21, and playing host to Northeast Nebraska schools at the Band Clinic on February 10 were the highlights of the year. This year the members elected Donna Lee Solfermoser, president; Marilyn Senden, vice-president; Merle Fegley, sergeant at arms; and Bonnie Peterson, librarian. Joyce Stratton and Mary Jean Leisy were the majorettes who led the band. A Big Occasion Approximately 250 students were present for the band clinic and presented a concert in the evening. Dancing in the late afternoon provided a bit of relaxation. (plcujsuL On, Second row: Beverly Woodka, Carolyn Gelster, Joan Erickson. LaVem Metzger, Merle Fegley, Joan Lausen. Morilyn French.

Doing to learn and learning to do is the motto of the Future Farmers of America. The West Point FFA chapter is taking active part in promoting a general understanding of the purposes of its work. Theirs is a hope to spread the scientific farming gospel far and wide. FFA members sponsor and take part in judging contests, demonstrations, farm tours. numerous meetings, fairs, community events, safety programs, and other projects. The scope of the work is divided into supervised farming, cooperative activities, community service, conduct of meetings, leadership activities, scholarship, recreation, earning and savings. In setting up these general divisions, each detail is approached with a definite goal in mind and prescribed ways and means.

Sila, D. Daberkow, E. Young, K. Gustafson, L. Johnson, M. Schwartz, D. Manser, student manager. The West Point Cadets ended an impressive 1950 football season with four wins, one tie, and only three losses, making a 560 percentage. Despite the fact that there were very few reserves and several costly injuries this foot- ball season, the team showed that they had the desire and capability of playing aggressive football. Coach Bahe and his boys put in long hours working on the old theory that Practice Does Make Perfect.'' Football to perfection is played automatically, and that is what the Cadets were continually striving for. Douglas Manser, student manager, tended the needs of the team members.

Again, as in football, the team had several injuries which hampered both practice and games. In January the Cadets seemed to hit their peak winning five games in a row. The West Pointers lost out in the first round of the Cuming County Tournament to Wisner, a team which they had defeated only five days previously. However, they came through to win the consolation trophy in this tourney. In the district tourney the Cadets lost to Bancroft in the first round of play, thus ending the 1950-51 basketball season.
