Show /^\NE of the outstanding organizations on the campus, the pep band, has grown until it is now recognized as a fundamental part of every occasion of importance. Football games, basketball games, rallies, assemblies and parades form only a part of the pep band's repertoire.It made its first appearance on the campus two years ago on the annual "U" day, with a membership of only sixteen. The comment it occasioned was little short of riotous. Today it has a membership of over forty-five, and notwithstanding its steady growth, has maintained its high quality.The band is directed by Clarence J. Hawkins, director of the old 145th Field Artillery band which had such a splendid reputation during the post-war period. The military training of director Hawkins is very favorably evidenced in the drills the pep band performs on the football field. Immaculately clad in their red and white uniforms, it indeed presents a fine aspect to the thousands of football patrons congregated in the new stadium.THE PEP BANDPage 1 |
