Jinx Janes Amid myriad wildly cheering: fans at every Southwestern game, jaunty bell-hop hats, uni- forms of crisp white and loyal purple, and general enthusiasm render the Jinx Janes pep club easily discernible. The name of the club itself is a tribute to the venerable Spirit of the Jinx, which by its very presence through the years has inspired S. Cfs gridiron gallants and brilliant basketeers to victory. The purpose of the organization is to emulate that spirit as far as possible. The traditional enthusiasm with which the founders of the organization endowed the club in l935 has been kept alive to a laudable degree in '37-'38 by its fort y-nine older members and eleven pledges, who combine to till the membership of sixty speeilied by the democratic ideal of Jinx Janes. General activity was highlighted by rush week, from the initial pow-wow,pr0 and con pledges, to the culminating ehili celebration at the Gypsy Trail Tea Boom, and by the Jinx Janes' assembly presentation of the hyper-hysterical drama, 6'Who Killed Southwestern's Pepitu These vital and vivacious vimst.ers were headed this year by Betty Callrey and Jane Craft. Pat Hall acted as cheerleader and general promoter of pep.

Brown, the Southwestern College Band is probably the busiest orgaIIization on the hill. Football games, pep Chapels. civic concerts, initiations, basketball games and many other duties fall upon this group. The marching baIId under the leadership of Delmar Seevers, drum major, was very popular. The group showed excellent training, and its exhibitions were marked by tl1e unusual control displayed by the leader, the response to command by the groI1p, and the rank of five attractive twirling drum majors, who added much to the appearance of the band. The concert band, under the capable baton of Professor Brown, also completed a successful season. Three trips were made throughout the school year. Besides a trip to Harper, the band made a trip to Pittsburg, giving coIIcerts at Cedarvale, Sedan, and Coffeyville, in addition to playing at the football game between Pittsburg and Southwestern at Pittsburg. The appearance at Coffeyville included a broadcast over station KGGF, Hlld was considered the highlight of the concert seasoII. The program of the concert, band was well balanced. lt included humorous readings, inci- dental solos, aIId featured a saxophone quartet iII addition to the usual classical compositions. Page 22

It was agreed it would be primarily a study club, with only those studying organ eligible for member- ship. The founder, Mrs. Redic, was chosen president and has served in that capacity since its organization. Meetings occur on the second Monday of the mo11tl1 and are held at the home of thepresident in order to have access to an instrument. The club adopted the following resolutions to raise the standard of organ playing: to in- tensify interest in the organ as a church and concert instrument, study and present representa- tive works from the literature of organ music, acquaint the organist with hymns and services of all churches, and promote a harmonious feeling among organists. livery club program has been intensely interesting, and four have been open to the public. In February of 1938 the club was privileged to bring G. Criss Simpson of K. U. to Winfield for an organ recital. Lectures by guest speakers have made up each January program when ministers and choir leaders are guests. By this means the club learned of the choir and cathedral schools of Eng- land, great hymns of the churches, the Catholic, Episcopal, and Lutheran service and music. A program of folk music was given, and two programs featuring organ and piano duos. In honor of the 250th anniversary of Bach and Handel, an evening was devoted to their works. Easter has been the theme for each April, as has Christmas for December, with those holding church positions furnishing the programs. Also through these members the club has endeavored to aid in commemoration of St. Ceeilia's Day, November 25, by sponsoring special services of hymns in their churches. Many American composers have been studied, including Rogers, Buck, Nevin, Shure, Edmundson, Skilton, Brase, Caul, Diggle, and Clokey. Moonlight over Nazareth , an Easter composition, was dedicated to the club and president by the composer, Roland Diggle. Another, Winter Sunset , came in manuscript form from the composer, Garth Edmundson. With a membership of twenty-three students, each trying to promote the aims of the organiza- tion, the Southwestern Organ Club has completed another profitable year of study and fellowship. Page Z4
