BHS Pepsters add vigor and vitality. Versatility — that’s the keynote for the Pepsters, the girls in charge of stirring up “the Spirit of Baker High” as needed for certain occasions. Under the sponsorship of Miss Pat Bovard, girls' physical education instructor, the group sizzles with activity year round. Starting in September, the Pepsters dressed out at all pep rallies and football games. Several times they performed in sparkling halftime shows for the entertainment of the football fans. Came the end of football season, but not the end of this group’s busyness. At all home basketball games, they could be found dressed out for both the Junior Varsity and Varsity games. Christmas time is always a busy time for the Pepsters. Besides marching in both the Baker and Baton Rouge Christmas parades, they also entertained the children at the Protestant Girls’ Orphanage and St. Joseph’s Orphanage with a Christmas party includ- The Baker High Pepsters’ drum corps Sandy Hill, Penny Cleveland, and Anita Lambert synchronize the Pepster’s steps in all their public appearances. ing presents, refreshments and Santa Claus himself. The Pepsters spent many weeks during the summer months planning and practicing for this year’s activities. Many hours were spent marching in the hot sun. It’s hoped that these hours of practice will be rewarded in the Broadmoor Drill Meet in which the Pepsters will compete. At the end of every year, the Pepsters hold their annual banquet with which they climax their year’s activities. Officers of the Pepsters for 1965-66 are Cheryl Costello, President (always the President in the hearts of all Pepsters); Bobbie Jo Smith; Vice-President; Suzanne Pynes, Secretary-Treasurer; Karen McGowan, Reporter — Historian; Danis Smith. Katie Coates, Brenda I-ofton, Kathy Sue Robertson, Squad Captains; Penny Cleveland, Drum Corps Captain; and Katy Henderson, Dance Corps Captain. Not only did the Pepsters spend numerous hours marching up and down the football field, but also many minutes standing at attention waiting for commands. 174
