PEP SQUAD

The Bellville High School Drum & Bugle Corps

The school decided to form a Drum and Bugle Corp to lead our Drill Squad.

 In the summer of 1941, Mr. Wofford, the Hempstead High School Band Director came to Bellville to give instruction.  We marched at the football games and the Austin County Fair Parade.  Drum Major was Shirley Tucker, and Twirlers were Dorothy Girndt and Louise Zumwalt. 

 Members were:

 Gloria Albert, Irene Bartay, Annabel Clemons, Virginia Eastman, Inez Frank, Letha Mae Gould,  Maxine Huebner, Rodell Klump, Beverly Lamp, Joyce Machemehl,  Marguerite Machemehl, Jerral Ann Poffenburger, Shirley Ruggles, Pearle Sharvda, Eunice Weinke, Betty Witte, Betty Jo Zapp, Jeniva Schneider, and Grace Mittank.
