catfet .f7h zt.4 PEP and the flash of a scarlet skirt have become synonyms in Boise High. And Friday would not be Friday without two hundred and fifty red skirts darting about the halls. The Scarlet Skirts, girls' pep organization of Boise High School, boasted that number of members this year. They proclaim their membership by wearing their l'uniform to school every Friday and by sitting together at all athletic events. This year the club was headed by president Catherine Grim, vice-president, Barbara Ward, secretary, Deva Chisholm, treasurer, Lily Keprosg and adviser, Miss Helen Moore. The Scarlet Skirts' name led many an activity around school. The girls sold candy at the games, decorated the goal posts, handed out programs at athletic ets, ushered at games. The B Club called upon these girls to decorate for the annual football quet. Scarlet Sk.rts T! The club was honored at two out-of-town teas. The Spiz Club at Nampa and the Girls' Pep Club at Caldwell were their hostesses. Thirty-five girls, chosen according to their number of merits, went to these parties. The Scarlet Skirts enjoyed returning their social obligations with teas for the Nampa and Caldwell girls. The co-chairmen of these affairs were Deva Chisholm and Lily Kepros. Cther activities included a pay assembly with Marie Thometz and Barbara Ward doing the planning, a banguet at which time the officers of the next year's club were announced, and the Scarlet Heart matinee dances. The Scarlet Heart Ball, of which Betty lean Meagher and Yvonne Rutten were in charge, was one of the most pleasant affairs on the school's social calendar. This year a merit system was instituted in the club. Those senior girls who by the end of the year had earned one thousand merits for participation in club activities received gold pendants with a miniature girl in a scarlet skirt. 26
