Wapakoneta High School - Retrospect Yearbook (Wapakoneta, OH)

Page 27 text:

THE BOOSTERS CLUB School spirit and sportsmanship are characteristics to be used not merely for football and basketball seasons, and then put away until the following year, but are requisites for everyday living with our fellow men. The Booster Club was established to encourage and promote these characteristics among both students and the business men of Wapakoneta. It has more than reached the goat that was set by its organizers, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Taylor, who led the way three years ago. Having instilled within the students such principles of sportsmanship as are necessary qualifications for good citizens, the snake dances and pep meetings were merely methods for arousing temporary enthusiasm. These activities were led by the officials of the club: Betty Glee Schnell and Francis Frazier; the Blume High School band; and the cheerleaders: Bob Moothart, Dale Edwards, Jim Heffner, Betty Turner, and Mary Wehner.

To become a member of the Blume High School Band is a goal which all music-lovers strive to reach. Many members of our school have achieved their ambition, for the size of the band is valid testimony to this fact. Our sixty-five-piece group is one of the largest in this section of the state. A great deal of the success and popularity is credited to Jos. N. Dupere, the director, who through his competence and kindness, has won the admiration of everyone. The striking appearance of this band is due to the colorful uniforms which were made possible through the generous donation of Miss Grace Shawber. By their picturesque formations, the Redcoats stimulated much interest in football games. A novelty was introduced at basketball games when the members sang several pep songs. On March 31, the band presented a concert through which its members were privileged to demonstrate their musical abilities. The climax of this year's schedule was reached when this unit as well as those from other cities in this vicinity presented a spring festival.
