Estness THE PEP BAND UNDER the leadership of Howard Halvorsen the pep band became a firmly established organization this year. It was founded two years ago. and since then has developed into one of the active musical societies at school. A change of leaders in the midst of the season did not daunt its members, who continued under the new leader with as much zeal and enthusiasm as before. Fritz Morgan was responsible for the success of the hand during the second half of the year. The athletic teams were never more certain of Victory than when the musical strains of our own "Augsburg Song" reached their ears, and they were never more inspired to action than when the pep band led the cheering section in singing. Wherever the teams journeyed, the pep band, in its colorful array of maroon and white, traveled with them. High aspirations are held for the organization in the future. Its usefulness amply justifies its existence. [86] Show less
