SENIOR PEP CLUB Although the Pep Club has been originated for only one and one-half years, it has taken part in so many school activities, we feel that it is only right to give an account of the busy year it has had They were asked to play at the Eastern Oregon College-University of Oregon football game in Pendleton, at the Veterans Club in Pendleton, a Farmers Loan Association in Pendleton, the Pilot Rock-Rogue River game in Pendleton, several games in Echo, during the sub-district and district tournaments, at a benefit V. F W. dance in Echo, basketball games, a basketball game in lone, a veterans' meeting in Her-miston, and several formal dances in the spring The Echo Community Program was originally started by the Pep Club, and they have played every Wednesday until the close of school. Along with the High School band, the Pep Club was asked to play at the Chief Joseph celebration and plan to enter the dress-up parade in Pendleton next fall. MAJORETTES Dolly Sparks and Adel I Graham lead the high school band and display ocrobafic twirling They led the band at the various parades and performed during the district tournament Many people agree that these two girls can give one of the finest performances of twirling and tumbling that they have ever seen, and the high school feels that they are very fortunate' in having such talented performers. Barbara Lieuallen and Dorothy Wiglesworth, the freshman maiorettes, should develop into excellent performers with more experience Their work this year.hos been very sotisfoctory
