Pep Club — The Spirit behind the Game Mrs. Kimmel, a new teacher this year at BCHS, is sponsor of the Pep Club. The Pep Club, with its members, composed of any student wishing to join, is formed each year mainly to promote a good cheering section at both football and basketball games. The Pep Club roped off a section in the stadium for all the students to sit in and cheer at the football games. This idea proved worthwhile as was more students sitting together and yelling.
