Brotherhood is an everyday issue rather than a yearly observance for Dan Humay, president of Brotherhood society.
"Although we officially observe it only for one week, brotherhood should be practiced throughout the entire year at Maine. We merely set up a week dedicated to brotherhood as a reminder of its urgency and importance," disclosed Dan, who was elected to the society as a sophomore. He is continually striving to improve Brotherhood society standards and participation in school affairs. "Most of the students elected to the society also promote good will, serve their school, and maintain an interest in Maine West's affairs," affirms Dan.
He enthusiastically advocates the society's recently initiated orientation program for new students. Society members guide new Mainites through the school, familiarize them in various activities, and help them adjust to life at Maine West. Dan sincerely wants the support of the student body for these projects, because, "student interest and support are necessary for the success of any organization."
Warrior Humay's active interest and participation in school sports have resulted in his being elected president of M‑Club. Tailback Humay, a gridman since his freshman year, lettered in football in his sophomore year. His favorite winter sports are tobogganing, and intramural basketball. Dan is especially anticipating his fourth season of baseball, a sport which he lettered in as a freshman.
Dan represented Maine West at Boys' state, a convention organized to promote political leadership among youth. Of his experiences in Springfield, Dan recalls, "a week well spent."
A B‑Honor‑roll student, Dan prefers social science to other studies. He was awarded membership in the Quill and Scroll society for his accomplishments while working on The Westerner last year.
After graduating from Maine West, Dan plans to study journalism and political science at either the University of Minnesota, Northwestern university, or the University of Wisconsin. He hopes to include both football and baseball in his college life.

Barb Georgans is action: action with capital letters and an exclamation point. She is the pep at football games and the energy at basketball games. At times her source of power seems inexhaustible: when spectators and players alike are tired and weary, Barb seems to go on and on. This is the way she must appear; she is captain of Maine West's cheerleaders.
Being captain of a group of cheerleaders is not an easy job, even after four years experience. It involves, among other things, urging, prodding, cheering, yelling, laughing, pushing, jumping, smiling, and holding back disappointment. She must know people, or she will fail in her job.
What does a cheerleader do in her spare time? Barb finds working with art different and new, and although she plays the string bass in the orchestra, she finds time for dancing in the V‑show chorus. A cheerleader must limit activities, but outside work is also important. Barb works at the Graceland home as a nurse's aide.
A favorite pastime, which deserves a place by itself, is food. Food is a great pastime for cheerleaders, but like other activities, it must be controlled. Barb is all for pizza, shrimp, and spaghetti, and although a bit Greek herself, she despises Greek cooking.
Barb hopes to make North Dakota her alma mater and carry out her ambition to be a nurse.
