Pepsters volunteer Pepsters were serving the school on a voluntary basis during spring semester because Becky Reed, pepster adviser, changed the two semes- ter pepster service time back to a fall semesterf spring semester basis. Under the direction of former Pepster Adviser Jody Harris, the girls had been selected to serve during the spring semester and then the following fall Semester. This unorthodox plan served to prepare the girls for summer camp competitions because it gave the girls one semester to become comfortable working with each other. Under Reed, the emphasis changed from award winning and competi- tion to promotion of school spirit and crowd control. The pepsters had a no class spring semester and cheered on a voluntary basis. Despite the changes, they prefer the new plan to the old one. It's better. It doesn't cause confusion, said junior Lisa Smith. junior Nancy Rush agreed, It's better, it gives them a full year to cheer. t. Short flags - from - Debbie Green, Cathy Reilly, Jody Nearing.

It's a crazy way to learn how to sing, but it's fun! commented senior Mike jackson. They carolled at the Marriot Hotel three days during Christmas vacation and had many concerts throughout the year. They also sponsored the Talent Show. Although they lost many seniors to graduation, they are working to make it a better choir.

Our antics would drive an one craz but she P Y Y has stuck with us tr in to teach us all the thin s we're oin to need to know to be- , Y S S S S come the musicians we hope to be.
