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

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.

Vocal MuAac GlaU Among the new organizations in our school this year, one which most truly combines work and pleasure was the vocal music class. It was introduced on the Hilltop for the purpose of giving the students a chance to exercise their vocal talents in unison under professional direction. Although this is the first year of its existence, the group has already proved itself to be indispensable to our school life. Its worth, as well as its excellent harmony, were illustrated at the Armistice Day program, the High School Christmas program, the Community Christmas program, and the various activ- ities of commencement week. The vocalists have genuinely enjoyed singing together, and, what is more important, have learned from Miss Neperud much about the fundamentals of music. r First Bow: June Noreen. Marie Kurkoske.
