Of course you do, for it is no other than your own U. High choir. The choir this year is the largest it has been in almost ten years, largely because of the enthusiastic adviser, Mr. Nickerson. The choir displayed its talent at the annual Christmas assembly, the annual music festival, and Band All together now—play two, three, four.' You've guessed it—it is Mr. Nickerson leading the U. High Band. You may not be able to hear them in their sound-proof room, but you can really hear them when they let out at pep-fests. The band supplies music for rallies, assembly programs, and highlites. besides pep-fests. Individual members appear throughout also at programs during the year. The choir sings several semi classical as well as the ever popular carols. An important subdivision within choir is the male ensemble of eleven principal voices to which others are often added. The ensemble has sung at assemblies. P.T.A. meetings, and at University functions. The choir is open to anyone who wants to sing. the year at assembly programs, either in groups or in a solo. The band plays at Commencement, also. The band had a large part in the Christmas program. It plays many selections besides the Christmas carols. Students who are taking private lessons from Mr. Nickerson have a chance to join the band. There are lockers provided for each person's instrument. 29

However, the Bisbila came through. The students working on the annual gave up many valuable study periods and precious Saturday mornings. The book could not have been possible if members of each class had not co-operated. Special thank yous go to the following assistants: Mary Nor- was responsible for the attractive illustrations which headed the feature section, and the excellent photography of Charlotte Abrahamson made possible the pictures of our school heroes. The paper has contrived to express not only news but the views and ideals of the entire student body. It also furnishes opportunity for constructive criticism of school activity. The Breeze has performed its purposes with accuracy. ton. Johanna Schmalhorst, Sue Hedback, Betty Baer, Ruth Rigler, Marie Geist, Joanne Martin, Betty Do-bozenski. Margaret Hansen, Miller Myers.

Pep Club In the middle of Winter Quarter Pep Club was reconverted this year. Those in charge of the reconversion were: manager. Jeanne Lauer; financial-scribe. Alan Rice; and faculty-adviser. Miss Trandcff. In the past Pep Club chose its members, however this year anyone who wished was encouraged to join. The club had an attendance over one hundred at the meetings. After the officers were elected the club was divided into four committees—constitution, pep-fest, publicity and entertainment. The constitution committee rewrote the constitution. They made a provision in the new constitution for officers to be elected in the beginning of spring quarter. The new officers conducted meetings during spring quarter and then again the following fall. People were not allowed to vote for officers unless their dues were paid in the fall. Those elected for spring quarter and next year were: president. David Cohen; vice-president, Jean Endress; and secretary-treasurer, Betty Bergquist. PEP CLUB TOP ROW: Dorfman. D. Bum. Hoctger, 0.

Each member on the committee was completely in charge of one pep-fest. The band and cheerleaders took part in the fests. The publicity committee made and distributed posters throughout the school announcing the games. These posters and Pep-Fests helped to arouse school spirit. There was greater attendance at games this year than in any other of the previous years. They also helped to interest the parents of students in athletic activities. The entertainment committee put on a party for U. Club and team members at Shevlin Hall. They danced and had refreshments and entertainment. Everyone agreed that it was a successful party. The cheerleading section was also reorganized. 30
