Ilallv cllllllllifflblb I YHE Rally Committee, appointed by the president of the student body, had the following members this year: Bill Volkman, Margaret Hench, Robert Wright, Ruth H i g h, Marjorie Crummey, Kennard Chandler, Carol Carrington, Bill Wantz, Ruth Dodge, Catherine Rowe, Tully Knoles, jr., Robert Branch, Doris Lundquist, Carlos Wood, Alfred Rageth, and Dorothy Tamblyn. The three yell leaders, Howard Bailey, jack Toedt, and Mel Matheny, were elected by the committee on Sept. 30, after try-outs before the as- sembly, and act as ex-ofiicio members. + The duties of the committee are to arrange programs and activities of the student audience at games and rallies, especially those of the football and basketball seasons. Early in the year it was decided that tra- ditions should be enforced, following the suggestion of a Traditions Committee. + On Oct. 8 the Committee arranged a rally and evening parade to the Southern Pacific depot for a send-off to the football team on its way to a game with Whit- man. On Oct. 29 the annual Homecoming Rally and bonfire were held. The com- mittee also arranged for an automobile parade to Sacramento for the football game there on Nov. 11. + An unusual type of rally was held at the National Theater in Stockton on the evening of Oct. 26 in conjunction with the motion picture, The Spirit of Notre Dame. The football teams were guests of the management and the yell leaders led a large audience of Pacific students in college yells and songs. This pep rally was highly successful and was also the work of the rally committee. It was staged for the game with the Cal Aggies that week-end. + At one of the first meetings of the group, uniforms for the band and the three yell leaders were purchased, also megaphones for the yell leaders. Various assembly rallies were staged for raising pep and school spirit before the basketball games. The committee arranged for copies of the yells and songs to be given to all students so that they might learn them. With the efforts of this group, student spirit was heightened and almost solid student body support given this year's games. Mzrtheuy Hailey Toeclt Page 25
