CHEERLEADERS - Phyllis Sharr, Winneffe Andrews, Kathy Sharr. Whenever the Arabs ran into trouble, we could count on our cheerleaders to be leading cheers for our fireladdies. xx! 5. RA H11 PM QQ W '1 PEP CLUB - Cheering the Arabs on, Pep Clubmembers attended all home games and iourneyed to away games on pep buses. They worked up steam at pep rallies and then enthusiastically let it off at the games. The Pep Club selected Nancy Schisler, president, Winnifred Moore, vice-president, Phyllis Sharr, sec- retary, Sarah Swingle, treasurer. With the help of Miss Carolyn Fisher, first semester, and Miss Jean Stewart, second semester, officers arranged for buses and drivers for trips to Banning, Perris, Beaumont, Elsinore, and Palm Springs during the year. There was no doubt that school spirit and team spirit were raised tremendously by the zeal of the Pep Club.
