This organization is one of the first of its kind in this section of the country. The members of the Pep Squad are chosen on a competitive basis with schoolastic standings also considered. Each of the three upper classes chooses six representative girls who later try out for positions on the squad. From this group the faculty selects eight regular members and two alternates. During the year the girls take charge of the pep fests and lead the cheering for all competitive sports. Their work is climaxed by performing at various basketball tournaments for which they work out special drills and numbers. Letters are awarded each member every year.

THE EUHLTSERES TUMBLING Tumbling was introduced into the Clinton High School in 1935 under the supervision of Coach Hollingsworth. The freshman and sophomore classes had tumbling as part of their physical education program, From 1936 to 1939, Coach Long continued the work in tumbling and developed a tumbling team which furnished the entertainment between halves of our basketball games. This work was discontinued during '39 and '40 because oi the lack of gymnasium facilities TRACK Track has always been a major sport at Clinton ever since its beginning in 1934 when a joint field day was held at Clinton between the Graceville and Clinton schools, with all students participating in a number of events. Two teams were chosen from the grades and high school which competed against each other as well as against Graceville. These joint field days were held with Graceville for several years. For a number of years a regular track team competed with other track teams in the district and sub-district track meets. Last year our track team participated in a track meet held at Browns Valley in which we placed in a number oi events. Due to the fact that a large portion of the track equipment was destroyed in the iire, track was discontinued this year.
