'J .,. Bl UF il Razzer Club The Razzer Club of H. H. S. was a Club organized September 20, 1927, for the purpose of creating spirit and pep and promoting enthusiasm at athletic contests. Five of the best all around girls, chosen by the faculty, from each class, comprise the Club. Miss Helen Preston, with the help of Miss Helen Johnson, acted as Sponsor, and Caroline Schmidt was elected 1-'resident of the Club. The established costume is white trousers and shirts with blue sashes and ties. An example of the stunts performed by the girls was the drill put on between halves at the football game between Marshall and Higginsville at Higginsville. Dressed in their white costumes, half with blue sashes and ties. and half with purple, representing Marshall, the girls marched out on the field from the south end. At the head of each line two girls carried a banner on which was the name of the town which they represented. The Marshall line carried purple balloons while the Higginsville girls carried blue ones. Just behind the banner in the Higginsville line rode little Bobby Uavis on a pony representing VICTORY , and behind the Marshall ban- ner came Marie Pevestorff dressed as a nurse, carrying an immense bottle 1or Eddie Schmidt who was dressed as a small baby, representing DE- FEATH. Marie pulled him in a little red wagon and as he was constantly crying, finally gave him the bottle. When the two lines reached at the center of the field, they formed two semi-circles, facing the bleachers, with Bobby on the pony in the center of Higginsville's circle and Eddie with his bottle crying in the center of Marshall's circle. The Higginsville circle gave a strong yell for Higginsville's team. Then came a weak one, drowned out by Eddie's crying, by the Marshall circle for Marshall's team. After the yells all the Marshall balloons burst while the blue ones sailed up into the air. Both lines left the field, Marshall with drooping heads, and Higginsville proud and full of pep for the supposed victory. RUTH GLADISH PAGE 67 -Z 'Qi-XJ
