Girl GIRLS, SPORTS The girls' sports season got under way with a rugged but fun-packed round of soccer games in which the senior belles were able to win over the juniors and sophomores. From this, the girls turned to the less vigorous sport of volleyball. In the sophomore league, the team captained by Sondra Clarke, came through in fi.rst place while in the junior-senior circuit, teams one and four tied for first. From the late fall until the early spring, basketball reigned supreme with the fe- male sports enthusiasts comprising seventeen teams which played in a sort of round robin schedule. The play was fast and hard but the girls came out none the worse for their playing. The later spring was spent playing soft ball. All in all, the girls, sports schedule offered a vari- ety of play for everyone to enjoy. N Club-First row: Pat Morar, Emily Wcinwurni, Gerry Krause, Pat Mokrohisky, Frances Townsend.

PEP CLUB Cold, crisp days . . . Football' days . . . That is when the Pep Club is most noticeable. You probably have seen them, in the reserved section with red and blue caps, fiying banners and stream- ers, and, of course, cheering our team on. These girls follow the cheerleaders and give forth with lusty yells. There are many new members this year who are fast learning the new cheers so that they can be the backbone of next year,s Pep Club.
