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.

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

The main problem of the journalism students this year has been the securing of a permanent editor. Throughout the school term, the Grizzly Growls, Juco weekly publication, has had not one, not two, but four editors, plus an associate editor. At the beginning of the school year, Charles Fullinwider was elected editor, and in this capacity he served faithfully during the first semester. When the second semester began, Charles entered another college, and Paul O ' Neal and Barbara Bowyer were selected as co-editors. However, Paul soon withdrew from school, and Barbara resigned because of outside work. The members of the club assembled and selected Jim McKinney editor, with Velma Wheeler as his assistant. Jim has done a very com- mendable job. He and the other members of the group have accomplished much, in spite of occasional uninterested students, late contributions, and lazy reporting. Although the going has sometimes been rough, those students who remained in the club have enjoyed their experiences and have contributed much to the welfare of the student body of E. J. C. According to the available lists, other members were Beth DeLong, Jane Ruth, Betty Jo Locke, Betty Jo Pendergrass, Cordelia Dennis, Yvonne Perego, Jo Ann Willaby, Betty Barton, Shirley Seeber, Paul Flint, Bob DeLong, Ralph Prewitt, David Walk, Bill Hartnett, Marilyn Mardis, Tom Garland, Tom Day, Lois Graf, Marcia Godding, Howard Knaussman, Ray Adams, Jim Thompson, Bob Stone, and Pat Baughman. Mr. Nixon sponsored the group. 22
