THE WARRIOR TOMAHAWKS President..........Paul Wiegman Sponsor......Prof. Norman Goodbrod Tomahawks have put Warrior fighting spirit into the student body this year through their pep. enthusi- asm. originality and loyalty. The aim of this group, organized several years ago. is to sustain within the student body a wholesome spirit of loyalty to Midland athletic teams. Throughout the football and basketball seasons the Tomahawks endeavored to keep enthusiasm con- tinuous by alternating with the Warriorettes in presenting stunts and clever skits during pep meetings following chapel. The opening wedge this year was a pep rally around a huge bonfire and a parade through the business district. A visit by the fire department added zest to the bonfire movement. Three new members were added to the Tomahawk group at the beginning of the basketball season, making the total membership 15. T he pep costumes of the Toma- hawks this year consisted of bright orange turtle-neck sweaters bedecked with black tomahawks crossed over an ”M.” Initiation rites are held after the tapping of new members. These ceremonies arc said to be the most terrifying experiences imaginable.” Woe be it unto that new T omahawk who fails to appear to go through the ceremony! Some of the skits presented by the Tomahawks during the year were: The Crowning of the Scream of the Gridiron. The Fatal Bride- groom. A Christmas Drift.” Animal Crackers.” It’s in There.” Going to Victory.” Stick ’em Up and The Big Broadcast.” ❖ ❖ ❖ ff f- ® y ft t «. Bick row: P. Wirgnun. Ziloudrk. Sokrr. Mlttiton.

THE 1933 i WARRIOR». WOMEN'S HONOR “M CLUB President............La Verne Johnson Secretary -Treasurer .......Grace Rowe Sponsor.........Mrs. Charles H. Mason THE Women's Honor M” dub for co-cds who have earned their letter in W. A. A. sports was organized at Midland this spring. It is the purpose of this group to further athletic interest among co-cds on the campus and to sponsor a women's intercollegiate tournament each year. There arc ten charter members of the Honor M group and eight honorary members were recently elected from a group of girls who have earned their letters in previous years. New members must be unani- mously elected to the organization. Qualifications are the winning of the official W. A. A. letter and an attitude of clean sportsmanship. The Honor M” club is sponsor- ing an intercollegiate tennis tourna- ment this spring. An invitation has been extended to the W. A. A. groups in all N. C. A. C. and N. I. A. A. colleges and all normal schools in the state to enter this meet. Edythe Sudman and La Verne Johnson arc in charge of the tourney. The “M” which co-eds earn is very similar to the letter won by men athletes. It is orange with the letters “W. A. A.” in black at the bottom. The awarding of letters to co-eds for participation in sports is a rather new plan which is coming into extensive use in many colleges. It is a practice which certainly stimulates interest in women's ath- letics and helps to foster a school spirit and loyalty which surpass that for which no recognition is given. ❖ ❖ ❖ Back row: Row .

THE 1933 WARRIOR, WARRIORETTES President..........Dorothea Smith Secretary-Treasurer ...Rosalie Teas Sponsor...........Mrs. George Raun “Your pep. your pep. You've got it. now keep it! THIS might well be the slogan of the Warriorettes, co-ed pep society at Midland, for they are themselves a “peppy gang and they inspire loyalty and school spirit in the entire student group. Giving skits at all pep rallies and games, the group attempted to set a pattern for Midland Fighting Spirit. One of the most clever skits of the year was “Seventeen Varieties of Pep. Dis- tributing pep in boxes of “Pep. staging a mock wedding with the aid of the Tomahawks, presenting a rhythmical stunt. “Rain, (Remem- ber—No game if it rains) and playing going to Jerusalem on the chapel platform were some of the unusual and entertaining methods the Warriorettes chose to show their pep and arouse enthusiasm for coming games. Warriorettes elected new members last fall, tapped them in chapel and then proceeded to initiate them. Seemingly broken arms and noses and sugared, braided hair were some of the evidences of initiation on the day following the night of raw eggs and other tasty dishes. Meetings of the group were held regularly throughout the year. Since the close of the basketball season, social meetings arc held monthly in order to keep up Warriorcttc spirit and friendships. Warriorettes attended the Hastings basketball game together and were well represented at all out-of-town football and basketball contests. They were never absent from home games and usually sat together in the middle section of the bleachers. f f ? f P 9 f f f ? t f t f 1 t t I I - » • y e row: Jackton. Smith. Cotdtt. Tjiwntf. A.
