Whenever sharp red and gray sweaters were seen Hitting about the halls, we knew that the folks in question were members of the super-spirited Pep Clubf This club promoted school spirit and fostered many peppy new yells. Sparkie, the red and gray Colt, made her debut as the club's ward and put in her appearance at all athletic events. The Fall semester saw Verna Curtis as president: Mary Kopis, vice-president: Georgina Chames, secretary: and Barbara James, treasurer.

What is the seat of study and learning in Northwestern? The library. of course. Under the direction of Miss Winton and Mrs. Murdoch who are assisted by a large staff, the library serves efficiently hundreds of pupils with their studies. Service is made possible by the fundamental course in library science, given to every staff member. He becomes acquainted with reference books and other phases of library work which enables him to answer many queries and do the routine work. The staff member learns much which will be useful later. while, at the same time, earning high school credit. Those who excell become student supervisors. Page Twenly-six i rf..

The annual election won the gavel for Marian Brainard. Lloyd Jones was her able assistant: Pat Ecklein took the minutes and Jerry Cook was treasurer. In order to broaden the musical knowledge of his charges, Mr. Lax distributed classical and modern music in his organizations. Graduations. assemblies, and all school events would be at a loss were not the ready orchestra at hand! .ls,i. t ff AN What would rallies. basketball games. and commencement exercises be like if the A Band weren't around to lend its spirit and color to the occasion? Under the responsible leadership of Mr. Maurice Lax. the 68 band members have proven to all that their organization is one of the most popular and successful that Northwestern can boast! Margie Thomson was president: Bill Schmidt, vice-president: Rosa Marie Hix. secretary: and Marjorie Porter, treasurer. Undoubtedly, the Michigan Band and Or- chestra Association will reward their efforts by placing them in the coveted first division. Page 'Iiwenty-eighl 'I'l1r1lcr, ll.
