Northwestern State Teachers' College

Drum & Bugle Corps

School spirit, pep, and enthusiasm accompany Northwestern State Teachers College Girl's Drum and Bugle Corps. This new organization, probably the only college organization of its kind in Oklahoma, is enthusiastic for the school, and in turn has the whole hearted support of the student body and the school officials. It aims to conquer the hearts of young and old. They are willing and ready to spread the fame of their Alma Mater. The steady beating of the drums, the sound of the bugles, and glockenspiel, a falshing of red and black, typifies twenty-five Northwestern Coeds as they proudly march along.

Miss Georgia Faye Andrews is an inspiring president and leader, while Dorothy Andrews is impressive in her capacity as drum major. Other officers are vice-president, Jane Jackson; secretary, Billie Ryser; past treasurer, Marjorie Rodkey; active treasurer, Honore Smith. Least in size, but not in enthusicasm and effectiveness is the organization's mascot, Wayne Oshel, who drills faithfully and travels on trips with the corps.

Activities of teh present year include trips to Weatherford, Edmond, Wichita (for the Santa Claus parade), a part in the great Northwestern Dedication celebration, Home-Coming festivities, football games and celebrations on numerous trips throughout the northwest.

Patience and willingness to work together, indvidual duties and responsibilities enthusiastically rendered, regular bi-weekly practices as well as extra practices when called for explain the success of this popular organization.

Merited recognition is hereby accorded Messrs. Ben Harrover, LeRoy Austin, and Ward Haines, who aided the organization, one by perfecting the marching phase, another by instructing the drum group, and the last by rendering valuable assistance in instructing the bugle corps. The Drum and Bugle Corps functions under the supervision and sponsorship of William F. Deusinger, who hopes to be instrumental in seeing the Corps develop into one of the most outstanding organizations of its kind in this section of the country.

The aim for the future is to provide better school spirit, and to represent the college favorably by cooperating with civic groups, many of which issue frequent requests for the appearance of the Drum and Bugle Corps.
