Pep Club Under the guidance of Ierry Remy as president, Ioe Miller, vice-president, Rose Marie Prochaska, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Betty Perego, faculty advisor, this new club had the job of promoting school spirit. With the cheerleaders as the nucleus, the club was formed at the beginning of the school year and worked out new cheers and auditorium pep programs. These programs consisted of speakers, cheering, and an occasional skit. Coach Harris enlivened many of our pep auds with his clever stories, often at Mr. Harnaclis expense. i191

Backstage, the Stage Crew scurries about ar- ranging props, straightening cos- tumes, giving last touches to make-up, and hoping and praying that nothing will go wrong. All this is but a climax to a month's hard work for the Stage Crew. Their work, however, is not lim- ited. to plays. The Stage Crew serves in some way at almost every auditorium program, wheth- er it is a talent show, a guest speaker, or a pep meeting. Mem- bers must have a C average, and be recommended by their home room teachers. Mrs. Ruth McCarty acted as advisor for the club which chose Margie Rupp as secretary, and Sue Wegener and Bob Carpenter as program chairmen. On their Wednesday meetings, members of the Stage Crew enjoyed such speakers as Michael Hinn of WKOVV, and Mrs. Richard 'Church of the thea- ter guild, as well as several read- ings and short plays. G.A.A. The purpose of the G.A.A., Girls' Athletic Association, is to acquaint its members with the rules and regulations of the vari- ous seasonal sports. This year it was achieved by means of movies, talks by guest speakers, and actual participation in the sports. One of the most popular activities was a ping pong tournament which was held early in the year. Act- ing as president of G.A.A. was Mary Rusy. Kathleen Mackesey and Nancy Rogers served as vice- president and secretary, respec- tively, and Virginia Schulz was treasurer. Miss Alice Holmes acted as advisor for the club.

A Cappella Choir Hurry up, you'll be late for practice, was the way most choir members greeted each other. Special rehearsals were required to prepare for programs such as the Christmas Pageant, the Christmas Program, the Winter and Spring Con- certs, and the Pop Concert, Under the direction of Miss Marion Huxtable, the choir has again proved. itself worthy of praise. Assisting Miss Huxtable were Burr McWilliams, president, Dave Matson, vice-president, Marjorie Iackson, secretary, Beverly Iohn- son, treasurer, and librarians Mary Ellen Oren, Marilyn Oliver, Louisa Maloney, and Lois Fauerbach. Girls' Triple Trio The Girls' Triple Trio made its first appearance before the pupils and teachers of West in the Armistice Day program. The girls gave special programs for adult groups, but we remember them for their work in the Christmas Program, the Pop Concert, and the Winter and Spring Concerts. During the Hrst semester the members of Triple Trio were Ann Miller, Beverly Iohnson, Virginia Bowman, alto, Sue Lentz, Pat Schmidt, Lou Anne Iones, second soprano, Beverly Niehus, Mary Ellen Oren, Iane Bandy, Hrst soprano. Second. semester, lane Bandy, Beverly Iohn- son and Mary Ellen Oren were replaced by Mary Rusy, Ioanne Guenther, and Mary Homann. Alicemay Gerret- son acted as accompanist. Boys' Double Quartet The Double Quartet has had a very interesting year. Besides appearances in several aud programs, they fre- quently have been asked to sing for activities outside of the school. Their repertoire consists of a wide variety of songs including barber shop harmony and selections from musi- cal comedies, as well as standard songs for male choruses. Members are Al Gay, Dave Moran, lst tenorg Dave Henry, George Crownhart, Znd tenor, Lowell Hall, Dick Wendt, baritone, Burr McWilliams, George Steinmetz, bass.
