The “B” Club, an important part of our “White House system, was organized by Mr. oung. Only boys who received their letter in one of the major sports—football, basketball, or track—and were initiated, were eligible for membership. The purpose of the club was to promote better sportsmanship. Several banquets were given in honor of the club. Those given were by Captain Dick O’Neal, Bob Karnes, Walter Bastron, and the Pep Club. One of the customs of the “B” club has been to elect a Football Queen. This honor was bestowed upon Helen Kniss for the 1989 season. During the year the “B“ club also sponsored a boxing tournament and a posture contest. Officers of the club included Donald Prince and Glenn Petersen, with Coach Logan as Soonsor.

The purpose of the lobbyists was to promote school spirit and pep. The group was led by Bernice Prince with the help of Miss Fisher. Five new members were initiated in a fitting manner. During the football season the lobbyists aided in the crowning of the football queen, and participated in numerous rallies, including two night rallies in which the patrons of the school also cooperated. In December a banquet was held honoring the football team and “B” club members. Much entertainment was derived from the showing of baby pictures of the members of the team. Seven new members were added for the second semester. Skits and rallies were also used to increase school spirit during the basket ball season. The purpose of the Pep Club was to create a feeling of cooperation throughout the student body and to express that spirit by supporting all school activities.
