CHEERLEADERS Come on Hartford, let's go, fight, win! resounded throughout the gym this year as the cheerleaders, under co-captains Norma Guardiani and Jackie Hewitt cheered the Hawks on to victory. They were an impressive sight in their new scarlet sweaters and scarlet, pleated skirts. This striking uniform, coupled with sparkling new cheers proved an excellent drawing card for the home games this year. Their enthusiasm for bastketball has done much to spark support and interest in the games. With their help, it is hoped that the team will be spurred on to greater successes in the future. HARTT COLLEGE CHORUS The Hartt College Chorus is a selected group that meets three times a week, holds an annual concert, and sings for various functions outside the school. The club consists of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors and is under the leadership of Mr. Brawley. HILLYER CHORUS Until this year the Chorus has been a loosely-organized group. The new organization has really been active not only in school appearances but also in singing at community events. The chorus entertained at the Thanksgiving and Christmas convocations, participated in the Hartford Times Carol Sing and even enjoyed the spotlight on the Insights television show. The forty-five to fifty members of the group report that the most important accomplishment was the wonderful spirit of working together, making new friends and the unified feeling of producing good music.

HARTT COLLEGE CONCERT BAND Aside from pedagogical reasons, the main purpose of the band as an organization is to expose the finest available material. Unlike many colleges, the Harlt College houses 3 y concert, rather than a marching band. Two major concerts yearly plus performances at civic affairs and high schools comprisg the standing agenda. Mr. Kopmar, conductor of the band, has often expressed still another reason-for-being - a personal one. That is, to try to influence composers to write for this medium. Harlt acted positively last year when a commission was given to 3 composer and the work performed by the concert band. Perhaps more impetus to this aim will be given in the future. HILLYER COLLEGE PEP BAND Organized this past year, the pep band is composed of ten Hillyer College students. Whether inspiring student enthusiasm at basketball games or playing for convocations and special occasions, the group feels it gains its main enjoyment from the personal pleasure which they achieve in working and entertaining together. EPSILON ALPHA ZETA Once every month a business luncheon is served by the honorafY business fraternity at which a prominent executive gives VIEWS on his field. The brothers of Epsilon Alpha Zeta want a better understanding of their future in the business world and, as alwayS. an improvement on the academic standards of fellow business students in the university. One of the outstanding landmarks of the fraternity's past history was the establishment of the Dr. H. S. Shively Scholarship Fund awarded to a promising business Student- Members also contributed a great deal of time and effort this Pafft Yearin supporting and organizing the Greek Letter Ball, Ill Sponsoring a Miss Hillyer candidate, who was Barbara Ryan, and in taking an active part in the Expectations Conference.
