I have been the captain of the Pep Club for two whole years. I really enjoyed working with the pep club. We had lots of fun cheering at the games and going to other schools. I hope the pep club next year will be just as good as it was this year. I would like to thank Mrs. Johnson for taking the time and patience in working with us.

CONCERT MARCHING BANDS Time, patience and effort all play a major part in making our band the suc- cess that it is. Whether playing at a football game, at a concert or in a parade, the band, under the direction of Mr. H. Brower, adds life and color to the occasion. The band started during summer school. Members have rehearsed after school from 3:30 until 5:00 pm and some 7:00 am practices were held also. The band consists of about 95 members including the flag ] 1 7 girls, rifle girls and the majorettes. It has performed in half-time shows at Peabody’s games and also at Virginia State College and at Peabody ' s field for a Titians game. In order to achieve its greatest heights, the members of the band must have that most important quality: Teamwork. The band has been an active and cultural addition to our school. Among the band ' s accomplish- ments are performances in city parades. It is noted for its great spirit, origi- nality , and skill . The band is truly the pride of the school . ymm if v • jrfr j 4r ‘ r .
