iff- CQM CZQDfFLgS XY'ith .1 powerful backwash of the propeller, the 111usic department cadets roared off to .1 line start this year. The target for one winter night was the Bondbardment Concert at which the band and choir raised 545,000 in bond pledges. XWC could never have hit this bull's eye without Chief Thomas as navigator. He could be heard in every part of the hanger plotting tl1e course to victory. To boost further the sales, the music-minded minstrels dedicated the S585 which was cleared at the door to buy .1 s5UU bond. Tl1is little item will help buy new equipment PMB. pafter lierlinj. The bombing missions for the singing cadets. the choir, l1.1ve been numerous tl1is year, for they have appeared in Christmas Vespers, at tl1e Chamber of Commerce. .1IILl .1t Kiwanis Club. Tl1e l7.lI'Ikl received boot training i11 numerous parades. at football games, at tl1e railway station to bid the boys adieu, at basketball games, .111d at assemblies. The string cadets, the orchestra, were caught in a downdraft of playing-at Christmas Vespers, at Thanks- giving and Easter assemblies, and at graduation in a neatly turned performance. Harmony Honeys, otherwise known as tl1e octet, didn't let any ice form on their wings either. They performed at all service clubs, at several assemblies, and at the Good liriday service at the Methodist Church. Music cadets lriscilla Hunt, Amelia Stabile, Betty Rutter. Lesly Bag- 1 s l an of Song nall, Paul Edward, Alvin Payment, Bob Ellena, and Al- bert Dalimonte compose the group, which is navigated by Betty Kuderling at the piano. That inspired looking group named Thomas,s Tom- catsu is generally known as the dance band. They iived at all-school parties, Youth Center dances, and at the Evening News banquet. The hep cats .1re well-known in the vicinity of the music room as Irva Hillock.

These inconstant little Fifanellas decreed that tl1e fellas were too Anierican to be German. and so they gnawed away the n.1me just .1s the censor does. In spite of it .1ll, Bob XVade, Eugene Hannahs. Lee Stanley. Sam Marra, and Shirley Lever survived their crash dive and have toured the town of Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie. They also played .1 one night stand at the junior Red Cross Carnival. Last spring Chief Thomas donned his flying suit and zoomed down to St. Louis, Missouri for the National Music Educators' Conference. One of the themes was the idea that music should be for everyone. The more students participating in a musical organization, the better that organization will be. This has long been Chief's philosophy as is shown by the size of the band and the chorus.

Aces of the gridiron Although handicapped by injuries all through the season, the Blue Devils of '43 proved to be one of the best teams in the past 12 years by ending the season with a 6 won and 2 lost record. The team piled up an impressive record in first downs, yards gained, and total points, as they defeated rthe Col- legiate Institute team from Sault, Canada, Ishpeming, Manistique, Munising, Marquette, and Newberry. The two losses were suffered at the hands of the Escanaba Eskymos and the Menominee Maroons. In past years the varsity usually had a pre-season game with DeTourg but this year, since the Red Raiders had dropped football for the duration, a game was scheduled with Collegiate Institute. The big Collegiates held the Sault at bay most of the afternoon, but late in the 3rd quarter, after a series of passes down the field, the ball was carried over from 6 yard marker for the Devils' lone touchdown. Host to Escanaba the following week, the fighting varsity played hard, but due to some good quarterback- ing and passing, the Eskymos easily downed the Sault, 26-0. Red Waters, co-captain and star halfback, led the team to victory at Ishpeming as he scored two touch- downs, one on a 102 yard run, and we walloped the Hema- tites, 26-7. Weak, due to the loss of Waters, who had suffered a broken collar bone in scrimmage, the Blue Devils could not stop the Menominee Maroons' passing attack as we slipped into defeat by the score of 32-13. After experimenting with several different combina- tions, Coach Ripley hit a winning combination that took Munising to the score of 19-0. The Marquette Redmen proved tough customers as they almost scalped the Blue Devils. We won with a thrilling 7-6 victory. Ross Annatoyn scored the winning marker by dashing 40 yards after taking a pass from Jim Mclnnes. Continuing their streak, the team hit their stride in the best of the year as they defeated Manistique, 27--6. Completing a successful season, the varsity conquered the fighting Newberry Indians, 25--12. page fu rnfy -lu ll
