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.

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.

WARRIOR v THE CLUB President .......... . . Irvin Schwartz Secretary-Treasurer ... l.ouis Petersen Sponsors......................Coach K. J. Lawrence. Prof. W. Emerson Reck Striving to put into sports the spirit of fair play, clean sportsman- ship and teamwork, members of the “M” club cooperated as in past years and in addition laid special stress upon character development of the type admired and respected by all teams opposing Warrior athletes. Results were gratifying when words of praise were given Midland teams for their superior conduct on trips. Meetings arc held bi-weekly in connection with noonday luncheons in the private dining hall in the Gymnasium-Commons building. Ini- tiations are held yearly permitting athletes to join the club soon after they have earned their letters. The initiations arc well known for manly stringency, thereby binding athletes closer together in a spirit of good fellowship. For the third consecutive year the “M club had charge of the nomina- tion and coronation of the Queen of the Gridiron, an event which has yearly increased in popularity among the students. The M club annually sponsors high school athletics through basket- ball tourneys and track meets. Members have the responsibility for the success of these meets. The group also enters a team in the annual city pugball league. The final event of the year for the “M” club is the formal banquet, at which alumni and active members of the honorary athletic group meet together. ❖ ❖ ❖ Bick row: Prurtrn. tlotmbrrg. Divit. Engel.
