PEP CLUB This school year the Pep Club started off with a “bang by rousing the school and the town by participating in a Student Council sponsored Snake Dance and Bonfire. The Snake Dance started from the high school and wound through the main streets, going in and out of the business places that were open that night, and finally finished up at the football field where a large bonfire had been built. On January 24th, we held our annual Snowball at the Parish Hall, with about thirty-five or forty couples present. As King and Queen of this dance we chose Alan Schubert and Evelyn Ness. The other candidates were: For King. Richard Leonard, Junior; John Miewald, Sophomore, and Leonard Wiench, Freshman. The other candidates for Queen were Joyce Holman. Junior; Artista Kottke, Sophomore, and Iris Reynolds. Mr. Nelson, our sponsor, acted as chaperon. Friday, the 13th of February, we presented an assembly and the following week began preparing for the district tournament. which was to be held at Chinook that week end. This year was an outstanding one as far as the Pep Club was concerned. We had a very strong cheering section which was complimented on by people from both the Havre and Chinook areas.

A stocking dance was sponsored in the gym with a phonograph providing the music. This was one of the best of this type of dances during the year. Meetings were held on the first and third Fridays of each month in Mr. Kuhlman's room to solve problems confronting the student body and their activities. The Student Council has done a large amount of work this year. Among the most important has been the publication of the Student Voice and tryouts for a paper staff for next year. The six-page paper was put out every other Friday on the mimeograph machine. Dances and assemblies are very important projects which the Student Council promoted. Moving pictures were presented this year with a favorable response received by the student body. An orderly group of rules concerning all dances given by the high school organizations was drawn up to provide certain limits which would keep the dances in check. At the close of the year, elections were held for the officers for next year. (28)

HIGH SCHOOL BAND 1947-1948 The high school band started out the fall of 1947 with 42 members, veterans of the 1947 spring festival in Havre, and a new bass drummer, Beverly Gear-heart. Several weeks were spent in building up lips which had been used rather sparingly during the summer months. The first appearance was at the Fort Benton football game. The band then began working on numbers for a short concert to be given at the annual November carnival sponsored by the Gregg Artists. This concert consisted mostly of marches and some other louder numbers which could stand the competition of the carnival noise. The concert went off very smoothly. Members of the band also sponsored the dance given at the carnival. When funds were divided latei the band received $150.00 as their share. The next appearance, outside athletic events, was as part of the assembly on the Friday before Christmas vacation, in which the band played several of the old Christmas carols with the audience singing. The basketball season had now started. The band played for almost all of the home games, furnishing music before and between games and at the halves. They also furnished music for about fifteen pep assemblies. A short time before the district tournament a new band stand was built in the form of a balcony in the gymnasium for the private use of the band. In January the annual mid-winter concert was presented with the following program: March Invercargil, with baton twirlers, Lithgow; Villetta Polka, comet solo with band accompaniment by Bill Weidner, Richards; Ciribiribin Waltz, Pestalazza; Princess of India Overture, King; Hail Trombones, featuring Richard Leonard, Frangkiser; March Militaire, Schubert; Comet Quartette selections, with Bill Weidner, Donna Bowerman, Duane Severson, Lucille Renda, accompanied by Marion Rusch; Will You Remember, Romberg; Iron Count Overture, King; Pals Polka, comet duet with band; Under the Double Eagle March, with twirlers, Wagner; The Star Spangled Banner, Key. This concert was well attended and received.
