Band Peppier pep fests were made possible this year by the new U. High band, under the direction of Mr. Nickerson, U. High's music director. The group, whose membership now exceeds thirty, is quartered in a new. soundproof room, recently equipped with instrument lockers designed to fit each instrument. The largest sections are the clarinets, cornets, and the percussion, but along with these the bassoon, bass fiddle, saxophone, trombone. French horn, baritone, and flute are represented. In addition to the regular members there are about twelve other students who work with Mr. Nickerson in preparation for the band. Besides playing for several pep rallies throughout the year, the band played for one assembly, and furnished solo talent on several occasions, including the Christmas Program. Band awards, in the form of a letter and certificate, are presented to regular members who meet special qualifications. Choir ' Let’s have a little more support from the tenor section. was Mr. Nickerson s frequent remark this past year. Because of the majority of girls in choir, the tenor section was carried by the members of the fairer sex. The annual Christmas program, was presented by the Choir, at the Music Auditorium. The program featured, besides the Choir, a number of solos and songs of different countries. This year Nick took the Choir and Band on a tour. They went by streetcar to the fair metropolis of Robbinsdale. where they attended the 18th District Music Conference. All schools in the Lake Conference attended. The object of the conference was not competition, but to get helpful criticism. During the winter quarter. Mr. Mork directed the choir on Mondays. On Fridays, the members were fortunate in having an hour of music appreciation, featuring records arranged by the students and Mr. Nickerson. 28

Bisbila With nothing but the good of the yearbook at heart the busy Bisbila Board began probing, magnifying glass, camera, and notebook in hand, into the private and public lives of students and faculty of U. High. The |ob proved to be an around-the-clock affair, with deadlines looming ever nearer. However, the faculty soon got used to seeing pupils snooze off to sleep in their classes. Without asking they knew it was a Bisbila worker. This year Kathleen Quigley was editor-in-chief, and Mrs. Merideth served as faculty adviser. The full editors. seen above, were greatly assisted by the following: Norma Legler, Elizabeth Lamberton. Natalie Clark, Jeanne Lauer. Helen Buchta. Jo Liebenberg. Jo French. Janet Rylander, Joan Endress. Marge Firth, and Ted Rauen. Mr. Laging gave special help to the art staff. Because of war rationing, materials were cut considerably: however, every club is well represented. Breeze Advertisements lead us to believe that four out of five people read Life , but there is no doubt about the fact that everyone reads the Breeze. With Mr. Carlsen as adviser, this year's staff put out a number of issues, all of which have been of lasting interest to students and faculty. The chief editor was Joanne Bouthilet. and working under her: Virginia Hiniker. front page: Lil Rumble, feature: Nancy Rigler. back page: Dick Herreid, sports. Thanks to Jo Liebenberg, art editor, and Roger Merrill, photographer, the Breeze has been well supplied with linoleum blocks and current pictures. Milton Tinker, exchange editor, and Dorothy Levy, copy editor, rounded out the staff which kept the student body well informed. The Breeze printed articles to promote interest in war drives. Timely editorials dealing with student problems, have also been a special feature of the year. 29
