ii ad mtl l ix, W 4 l l X Jyraaa Ban , ymp any The Varsity Band this year took its usual part in campus athletics playing at football, hockey and bas- ketball games. Although these events were the main purpose of the band, its activities were not confined to sportsg it marched in the Homecoming parade played at the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Brock Hall, appeared at all the campus pep meets held in the armouries, and even played at the bonfires during the campus rally for a better football team. The annual free concert was presented in the Auditorium on November 30. As for the past 14 years the band was lead by world famous Arthur W. Dalamont whose work has always been the driving factor of the band. The graduation of Iohn Hutton this year will cost the club one of the best presidents in its campus history. He has devoted a great deal of time and energy to the band and under his guidance has furnished what turned out to be a maior part of life at UBC. Activities of the band were late to start this year. Arthur Dalemont and other members of the Club were on tour in England with the Kitsilano Band. They did not return from England till the 15th of October. The University Symphony Orchestra, under mus- ical director Colin Slim and under the administrative guidance of its president, Bob Hickson, and others of the executive, has once again completed a musically and artistically, if not financially, successful year. ikepresenting two types of Music on the campus was the Sym- phony and Brass Band. Both bands were led by capable leaders. i'Above: Colin Slims conducts symphony orchestra. i'Below: Brass Band with Arthur Dalemont at the left of band. f Soloist of Syml phony is at right. 77

Kickapooa Start Campua ful!! leaning i i'Kichapoo's members pose with downtown talent used in their pep meet to advertise the annual California-UBC rugby game. Club worked with Bill Sparling to promote campus spirit during rally week which led to revamping of athletic setup. When a handful of students formed a pep club a few years ago, it is doubtful if many of them realized it would become the organization which is the Kicka- poo club of today. The main purpose of the group has been to promote student spirit and during the '50- '51 term this purpose was successfully carried out. An extensive campaign finally buried Old Man Apathy un- der a deluge of pep meets, giant bon-fires and lively stunts. Nov. 4, the club staged the huge Homecoming Parade which consisted of dozens of clever and colour- ful floats from campus faculties and clubs. The Kickapoos spearheaded the Bellingham In- vasion in a streamer-decked bus and formed the main cheering section. Club members broke many a day's usual programme with startling performances of in- sanity. A six-foot rabies-ridden white rabbit was hunted on the campus and finally slain in the Audi- torium. Club President lack Barnet won the Annual Kickapoo Fishing Derby in the Library pond. His winning catch was a corkscrew and two cans of sar- dines. Programmes of Kickapoo pep meets saw names such as the Hoosier Hot Shots, Ole Olsen Barnie Potts, Claude Logan and Iuliette. 7 A.M.S. elections received the blessing of Kickapoo antics and voting interest was boosted. em era o alim ofgoreai in '51 Promoting campus interest in Forestry was the aim of the Forest Club during this year. Members of the executive concentrated on teaching fellow foresters through public speakers and organized tours. i'Members of the Forest Club executive line up in front of the Forestry Faculty building. Activities included their own year annual, intramurals and stags. 76 Besides having to watch the operation of mills and lumber camps as part of their courses the Forest Club organized tours for the members of the club. Another important activity of the club was intra- mural. They entered a team in many events and al- though they did not win any it developed a closer spirit amongst the members of the club. Led by Fourth year Forestry student Bill Batten, the club started plans for forming into a regular un- dergraduate society. To increase spirit in the club an annual was put out for the third time. A large part of the work was done by Publications Board photographer Paul Iaffery. Editor of the book was Vic Bardell, who used Totem cuts to save on the cost of producing 48 page annual. Because they were off in a campus corner by them- selves they were seldom heard from. Social activities were another part of the Foresters activities which started with a stage beach party. Towards the end of the year, the club could see the possibilities of their own Undergraduate Society and receiving their own grant from the Alma Mater Society and not the EUS.

During the year they produced over 2,000 posters and banners for campus clubs. amoolea ear! .flla 'or Cluba in eruice 'NOV To persons begging the services of Mamooks, this little word ap- peared this year to be the motto of the club. It wasn't so. Mamooks is a small group of people doing the work of a large service club. This year has wit- nessed the perennial problem of too few members, and too many jobs. President Barry Baldwin led club through successful year despite shortage of mem- bers to carry out work. Early in the first term the club had a large prospective member- ship. President Barry Baldwin and his assistants, Vice-President Iimmy Cullen and Secretary Ioyce Mac- 78 Pherson, had prospects of a great year for Mamooks. To their disappointment the membership of the club became much smaller as Christmas ap- proached. In spite of the decrease in mem- bership President Baldwin attained the club's big aim for the year, a new set of drawing boards. Over the Christmas holidays Mamooks painted the club room and tore old drawing boards off the walls. New boards were set up in the centre of the floor, so that twice as many people could work at the 'same time. Work on the overhaul of Mamooks was done entirely by members of the club. Starting the spring term oft with redecorated rooms, Mamooks turn- ed out tremendous amount of work. Each candidate for Mardi Gras Queen had six posters done for her. Close on the heels of Mardi Gras work came the election campaign. Hopeful candidates appeared in the south basement of Brock Hall get- ting posters and banners made for the elections. Besides mammoth amount of work on these two campaigns Mamooks had to do posters for clubs having speakers, war mem- orial gym campaign and for any other campus club that wanted posters to advertise their functions. A skeleton crew handled this work usually on one week's notice. Outstanding in the club for their work were Peter Lasowski, Dick Chong and lim Cullen, who turned out more than three hundred posters and banners between them. Throughout the year Mamooks handled the decorating for many dances and functions. The frosh ball and the Home- coming Dance were examples of the club's decorating ability. All decorating for the year was under the direction of Brian Biarnason. 5-
