Pep Club and H Club At all the Bobcat sports the Pep Club is there to help promote school spirit. Through the Pep Club the participants in sports receive a higher incentive to do their best in a certain sport. For all the games and tournaments the Pep Girls decorated the blackboards and halls to increase school spirit and attendance at games. The main fund raising activity was the all-school play sponsored by the Pep Club. The money obtained from this project was used to finance the Pep Club ban- quet held in the spring and to help send the cheer- leaders to a summer workshop. The new varsity cheer- leaders and officers are revealed at the banquet. New Freshmen who wished to become members of the Pep Club were initiated in the fall. School spirit and yelling at games and pep rallies are not limited to just the Pep Club.

To show progress as an individual, the girls can work for their Junior, Chapter, and State degrees. Recognized this year were Linda Rose, who received both Junior and Chapter degrees, and Linda Becker, who received her Junior degree. FHA Week, April 2-8, was highlighted with the girls dressing in honor of the 100th anniversary of the state; the week also marked the 21st birthday of FHA. Inter- national Day and a high school assembly were also part of the celebrations. FHA also helped sponsor the FFA- FHA Sweetheart Dance, the Pine Ridge Teachers' Asso- ciation dinners, and the FFA-FHA Pheasant Feed.

Display School Spirit spirit by participating in the sport and by supporting each other in the stands. H-Club is an honorary organization for young men who have earned a varsity letter in one of the major sports-football, basketball, track or golf. This year the H-Club had 26 members. The major activities of H-Club were sponsoring the football homecoming dance and crowning the queen. At the homecoming ceremonies the queen and her attendants received corsages and football necklaces. A special gift to the queen was a bouquet of roses. That evening the Coachmen provided music for the dance. H-Club was also co-sponsor with the Senior class for basketball homecoming. This fall H-Club members cleared the lot ad- jacent to the school, which is being used for a much needed parking lot. Another important activity of the club is pro- moting school spirit at pep rallies by cheering along with the Pep Club.
