Many a Chilly Morning, Band Members Step Out In preparation for the State Marching Contest here tomorrow, band members have been rising early to practice Girls Nearing End of Welfare Diet If you are short on money, would like to cut down and would like to lose some extra weight, then our advice to you is live on a welfare diet.

Thaf exactly what three high school girls are doing for one month as an experiment for sociology class. Debbie Wycoff, Kathy Timmons, and Sherry Krier are existing on $23.10, which is the total spending amount for those who must live on a welfare diet. On Sept. 15, the girls began their well-planned diets. With $23.10 for meals their problem was how to eat well-balanced meals without overspending.

After three weeks of living on this diet, Sherry has lost six pounds, with $6.35 left. With $5.72 left, Debbie has lost four pounds. Also losing six pounds, Kathy has $3.97 left to last to the end of the experiment. The question still remains will they make it? Debbie answered, "I know we can. At the beginning of the experiment we were a little scared of running out of food, but we will even come out with money ahead." For these girls, the menu consists of a variety of food, such as goulash, tuna salad, chili soup, meat pies, puddings and jellos.

To complete the meals were celery and carrot sticks, vegetables and fruits, and french fries and popcorn. Peanut butter and grilled cheese often made a meal. When asked if she would go on another experiment of this kind, Sherry quickly said not and admitted she was often very hungry between meals. All the girls said they did get hungry occasionally during this time and often felt weak and dizzy. Students have shown great terest in the experiment Kathi overheard a few students discussing her condition, remarking on how her cheeks have become pale and thin, and how her eyes are sunken in.

When asked what she liked most about the experiment, Debbie replied, "The most fun was proving to people that we could to it. I don't think too many people believed that it was possible to live on $23.10 for a month, but we did. We proved a lot of people wrong." Festival Means. BY CATHLEEN GIFFORD To the band students of E.H.S., the band festival means getting up at 6 o'clock so you can be at practice by 7:45. forgetting your white gloves tor the performance.

losing your contact lens on the field. representing your band as their "Queen." getting a kink around your hair from your hat. being the only one to forget your plume. dropping your drum! on the field! having your spit valve freeze shut. dropping your baton on your head in the middle of the parade.

blowing your retainer right out of your mouth! forgetting the suspenders to your uniform pants. receiving a rating and knowing it was all worth Helpful Hints for Midget Grid Fans Here are some helpful hints for girls while watching the next football game. 1. The defensive team has been practicing all week to figure out who has the ball, so watch them and they'll lead you right to it. 2.

Watch the blockers and tacklers if you can figure out which ones they are. 3. Always memorize the quarterback's number. He's usually the star. 4.

If the EsthervUle linemen keep their heads down and charge straight ahead, expect the other team to turn and dash sideways. 5. The referee is the little man in the striped shirt that thinks he can control the game with a whistle. 6. No matter how long that game seems to last, 60 minutes is all the playing time they are allowed.

7. When the boys are in the huddle, they aren't really gossiping, just discussing their passes, (right boys?) 8. One last tip. A football field is perfectly flat so if a boy refers to something as downfield, you'll know he's bluffing. THE PEPPER Volume 48; No.

5 Edited by Students of EsthervUle High School Friday, Oct. 10, 1969 Vocalists, 22 Bands Musicians in Try-Outs Marching Archers Are Taking Tests This week boys' physical education classes took a skUlteston the bow and arrow. Each student shot ten a sforapossible score of 100 points. Vocalists and musicians from EsthervUle High School will be competing Oct. 25 for places in the All-State Chorus and Orchestra which has its annual concert in the KRNT Theater in Moines during Thanksgiving weekend.

The three quartets that will be trying out are sopranos, Wanda Watson, Sue Tvedte, and Cathy Rogness; altos, Joan Hendrickson, Ann Powers, and Connie Johnson; tenors, Bob Griffith, Doug Seylar, and Jim Boggess; bases, Steve Stroud, Rick Prior, and Bill Carrison. Mr. Brown, vocal director, commented on the difficulty of the music. "Because the music is harder than last year, it is more interesting. Also we have a large language problem two of these songs are in Latin and two are in German." The hardest piece, in Brown's opinion, is "Hodie" because of the very high tenor range.

However, he added, "All ranges in all the pieces are exceptionally difficult." Band members, under the direction of Mr. Haigh must play arpeggios in five different keys, have an instrumental solo memorized to perform, and sight read music. Derwood Twigg wUl try outfor a drum position in the band, whUe Nan JU1 Ohlund, violin, will try for a position in the orchestra. Students wUl try out first in Webster City on Oct. 25, and then, if selected, wUl go to Des Moines, where they will go into almost constant rehearsal untU the concert.

Ron Olney was one of several clowns from the drama department in the high school Homecoming parade last Friday. BY GHISLAINE FUNEL Homecoming! What was the first Homecoming for a French girl like? I can say now that Homecoming is really an American "thing" and that this "thing" is really exciting. "I didn't know what to expect of this week.

I couldn't Imagine that I would be a Homecoming Queen candidate let alone Homecoming Queen. The work on the float was a new experience. I didn't know in the beginning of the week whatthe senior float would be, but I worked on it thinking that I worked for a victory. I can't tell you what the Pep Rally was like for me. I was so scared before the proclamation of the vote and so happy afterwards that I couldn't see or hear what was happening.

I can't believe even now, that I am the Homecoming Queen. I don't know exactly why the El IS students voted for me but I feel that I am "one EHS girl," not completely a stranger, a foreign exchange student. I know now what it means to spend one night in a school to decorate it: fun, friendship, lack of sleep, The parade was really fun, too. One car was missing, but I was very glad because the attendants came in my car. They gave me strength for waving and smiling to the EsthervUle people.

I was once again scared before the game and the presentation to the spectators but I could walk without fainting. The Homecoming football game was the best I had seen since my arrival in EsthervUle. I really enjoyed It and the score made me very glad. The last part of Homecoming was the dance! During the week overybody spoke about it, The questions of the girls were always the same. Do you have a date? With who? What are you going to wear? What is the color of the boutonnlere for your date? I believe that everybody enjoyed this night after waiting for it so long.

I feel that I have to thank everybody for this week but I don't know exactly how. I believe that the easiest way is tosay, "Thank you very much." ENJOY OUR FINE SERVICE.
