The following - officers were elected : John Ivy, president ; Ray Adams, vice-president ; George Harper, secretary-treasurer ; Glen Conine, sergeant-at-arms ; and Howard Knaussman, student council representative. Permanent membership in the Varsity Club is gained by earning a letter in any major sport. Each candidate goes through a rugged initiation before becoming a full-fledged member. At the beginning of this year, the club consisted of twenty-four mem- bers, carried over from last year. This year, thirty men lettered in foot- ball, thirteen of whom became new members of the club. Five new letter- men earned membership by lettering in basketball. The total membership at the close of the basketball season numbered forty-four. Several meetings were held this year. Activities included participa- tion in all school affairs, and projects for obtaining money to pay debts. The annual Varsity Club banquet is to be planned later in the final semester. 20

Mr. Sparm is again organizing the Juco golfers and net men. The following men are out for golf this year: Gorsuch, Stone, McQuade, Beal, and Lawrence. The State Golf Tournament will be held in El Dorado this year ; also, plans are being made for some dual matches. Last year ' s golf team won matches from Coffeyville and Chanute and lost to Independence. In the State Golf Tournament last year, the Juco golfers took third place. The Juco golf team has good prospects for the state meet again this year. The Juco net men for this year are Black, Allen, Pound, Van Dolah, and Mannion. The state tournament will be held in El Dorado this year, and the men hope to give a better account of themselves than last year ' s players, who were eliminated in the early rounds of the state meet. During the season last year, the Juco tennis team won one match and lost three to other junior college tennis teams. Playing on their home courts, the men should give a good account of themselves in the state tournament. M 19

Barton Wheeler Mahan Zimmerman Lilley Elmborg Under the capable supervision of Miss Beuchat The Gold Diggers, the girls ' pep club, was organized. The group was small, but it furnished valuable support to El Dorado teams. The six cheer leaders kept the students yelling at the games. Euwal Barton, that super tumbler, added color and loveliness to the cheer leading. The cheer leaders and the Gold Diggers hope that next year the good sportsmanship and the lively interest of the student body will con- tinue to improve.
