The T-Hawks were kept busy chartering buses and securing transportation for those Warrior supporters who followed the teams to out-of-town games. Another project in which they were en- gaged along with the Warriorettes was the selling of miniature footballs and orange and black pompoms. Spring plans included a joint Warriorette-Tomahawk picnic. Guiding the T-Hawks this year were Wel- don Meyer, president; Jim Seiffert, vice- president; Ken Hartzheim, secretary; Ed McMullen, treasurer; Dick Boyd, sergeant- at-arms; and Jack McCall and Erik Bye, reporters. Sponsor was Clinton J. Muller, college business manager. Front row (left to right): McCall, Lydcrs, Rinde, McGath, McMullen. Moyor. Second row: Youngquist, Seiffert, Shepard, Hartzhoim, Levy.

WamcretteA Vim, vigor and vitality—these were the qualities portrayed by the twenty coeds comprising the Warriorettes, Midland's pep society for women. The flash of an orange sweater and black skirt always gave definite indication of a game day and was later to be seen on the fifty-yard line or at the mid-court line both at home and away. Warriorettes helped create enthusiasm by arranging pre-game rallies which included car parades, snake dances and torch rallies. Their skit at a basketball rally which fea- tured the showing of baby pictures of squad members brought many hilarious laughs from the student body. Heading the society this year was Carol Munson, president. Assisting her were Gert- rude Nolte, vice-president; Pearl Smith, sec- retary, and Helen Bleuel, treasurer. Miss Dorothy Dysinger, librarian, was sponsor. Midland's 'B cheerleaders in action: (left to right) Jack McCall, Margarot Sancha and Hugo Rathkamp. Pago 72

Vfti4la 4 PlaiferA The curtain's gone down on another year for the Midland Players. But who of the cast, crew or audience will forget such things as these: The heroism of Mrs. Crochet, and the antics of her family, as she schemed for a home in “The Great Big Doorstep”— The incredible selfishness of Regina Giddens and the conniving Hubbards, and the ruthlessness with which they treated their gentler relatives, in The Little Foxes — The subtlety of the late Sir James Barrie's sketch- ing of characters, and the delightful manner in which they came alive, in Dear Brutus”— The back-breaking, brain-tiring efforts of the di- rectors before the major productions— The conscientious contributions of the Players and their first-year associates, the Puppets, in re- hearsal and actual production, in book-holding, set-building, prop-hunting, ticket-selling, costume- pressing and spotlight-wielding— The popcorn, the coffee, the doughnuts, the fun— These items recall but a few of the memories which workers in Midland's show business can oack away with their souvenir programs. These items are reminiscent, it can also be said, of per- haps one of the best years in the history of Mid- land's dramatics organization. Scenes from the comedy. Tho Great Big Doorstep : Above. Mrs. Crochet (Helen Bleuel) em- braces brother-in-law Dewey (Paul Kuen- ning) as the twins (ShirLee Boggs and Doris Pabian) and Mr. Crochet (Kon Hartz- heim) stand by. Below, Topal (Margarot Sancha) do- livers an ultimatum to Mr. and Mrs. Crochet. Dramatic moments from “The Littlo Foxes”: At left, crafty Bon Hubbard (Clinton Nelson, center) questions nophow Leo (Robert Kochor) about stolon bonds, while Leo's father. Oscar Hubbard (Jim Soiifert), listens. At right, ruthless Regina Giddens (Donna Splinter) is more concerned about the bonds than about her husband's health in this conversation with tho invalid Horaco Giddens (Elvin Bumgarner). Page
