Pep RatuH During many of the close games which the M. H. S. cagers played during the past season the spirit of everyone was bolstered by the timely outbursts of our Pep Band. It was their duty to instill confidence into the players and to arouse the full support of the fans. Closely allied with this group were the cheer leaders, who also did their utmost to inspire and encourage both players and spectators. Betty Lou Robin- son worked alone in this capacity until Eddie Mittlesteadt became an under- study and soon performed with finesse. Although the Peppers” were under the actual instruction of Mr. Hanson, they were directed by student leaders who alternated with the baton at each game. Lett to Right: Charlotte Harring.

Hand This year the band was raised to the status of a full-time course and members were given academic credit. As a result. Director Hanson and his players have really put their hearts into their music and met with much success. The band had a very busy year, playing for the Arnrrtice Day, Christmas Eve, and Me- morial Day programs, and the Livestock Show at Princeton, as well as helping entertain the Hilltop's rural school guests on March 21. and appearing the following evening on the Farm- ers' Institute program. At the District Solo Contest held at Ripon on March 22, Charlotte Harring, Betty Lou Rob- •inson, Rosalie Hintz, Vincent Metcalf and Arvilla Eichsteadt performed on their respective in- struments. Arvilla received first place with her oboe solo in an unclassified group, for which she received Special Mention. Betty Lou. Rosalie, and Vincent were ranked second. High lights of the spring were the annual concert played in the gym on the evening of April 16. the Stevens Point music festival, and (day of days) tournament at Ripon on May 10.

Every Tuesday at four o'clock during this year there seemed to be a gather ing of high school girls in the kindergarten. Of course, we knew who they were — the Triple Trio — composed of three sopranos, three second sopranos, and three altos, under the direction of Miss Neperud. The Triple Trio was a new organization on the Hilltop this year, taking the place of the Girls' Chorus of former years. It made many public appearances, such as the Senior Class Play, Amateur Contest, Farmers' Institute and Com- mencement. It was really worthwhile to belong to this organization, for letters were awarded to those members who had been in Girls' Chorus during the two pre- vious years. The girls who received letters were Desire Hardell, Betty Ann Cartwright, Marian Zierke, Mary Murray, and Meryl Ritchie 18
