Trophy Climaxes Pep Week Activities by Arlene Matis The loyalty and good attitude of the fighting Pioneers was rewarded by the presentation of the 1959 Sectional Good Sportsmanship Award. This award, presented annually by the Hammond and East Chicago Manufactures’ Association, is based on the conduct of the school ' s coaches, players, and cheering section. Pioneer boosters also demonstrated their loyalty by participating in the activities of Pep Week, February 23 through 26. On Monday the activities began with the distribution of Clark pennants and pins. Tuesday, designated as Poster Day, found the corridors decorated with signs and posters con¬ tributed by school organizations. Loyal boosters sported the school colors on Wednesday, Blue and White Day, and later attended the night pep rally. At this rally, Hecate, the witch who had caused Clark to lose its school spirit, was destroyed by Professor McDuff, thus restoring Clark’s enthus¬ iasm and pep. Activities of the week terminated with a pep assembly Thursday morning and the Clark-Crown Point game, opening the Sectional Tournament. Reenacting a typical scene of tournament time, Sharon Pop- pen helps Sharon Fisher by pinning on the traditional white mum corsage with a blue “C” in the center. “Go You Pioneers, Fight!” Mr. Emerson Aldrich enthus¬ iastically leads the student body in the cheer named in his honor at the pep assembly Thursday morning. “A Little Bit of Blue!” Carole Palikan, Clark mascot, led cheers throughout the basketball season and made a special appearance at the season’s finale, the Sectional Tournament. 25
