Howeites, Guests At All Home Games Providing the spirit at football games, the enthusiasm at pep ses- sions, and the dignified atmosphere at Federal inspection were only three of the many obligations of the Howe Band. Directed by Mr. Louis McEnderfer and Drum Major Gary Hill, the musicians added much to the activities. The Girls ' Drill Team marching under their new name, the Hornet Honeys, executed lively routines at various Howe extra-curricular events this year. They were re- named by freshman Philip Sherrill in a school-wide contest. Mrs. Ruth Mercer again spon- sored the girls ' organization with the aid of Veronika Hannemann, team captain. For the first time this year the Band and Honeys performed in- tricate maneuvers together. Such features as a sombrero, a Spanish flea, and a Tijuana taxi that belched exhaust challenged the groups and delighted the crowd.
