jiaU efjjto. .g. ?. 0. 7. C, (land The volunteer band like the Ripon College Band of which I had the privi- lege of directing, was made possible only by the fine cooperation of the adminis- tration, the music department, and the ROTC department, plus the backing of not only my own fraternity, but every student on the campus. Knowing that these elements were behind the band and myself made possible a band such as we have presented to you during the past year. My sincere gratitude to each and every member of the band for their fine cooperation and to the organizations standing behind us! was the statement made by Edward ). Cheetham, the found- er and director of this organization. Ripon’s ROTC band was organized in October under the direction of Edward Cheetham. Wright senior. This was the first all-college band in several years and met with approbation ot the whole stu- dent body. In reality, it held started as a pep band, which had as its clientele ROTC members plus other interested students. But as the need grew, and as an army band was inevitable. Col. San- ford gave Cheetham the directions for maneuvering, and the organization had a two-fold function. At the presentation tea dance, preceding Military Ball, many of the members made their debut as an orchestra under the direction of Steve Dunning, and as a growing influence on the campus. Faithfully it played for all battalion parades, football and basketball games. Coaches Lanphcar and Doehling will tes- tify that it added much to the morale and spirit of the boys playing. During the year the organization had the added at- traction of majorettes Phyllis Lindsley. Caryl Pedersen, and Betsy JelJema.
