Pep Club and H-Club Show Spirit While Giving Support Encouraging the school spirit became the responsibility of two student organizations, Pep Club and H-Club. Under the supervision of Mrs. Amy Jensen and Mrs. Sue Volk- mer, President Vicki Hansen di- rected the Pep Club in various fund raising programs. Deborah Wyland, vice-president; Marcia Price, secretary; and Terry Dufek, treasurer assisted her by per- forming the duties of their elected positions. Of the different money making projects, the chicken noodle and chili suppers proved most successful. Spirit building rallies boosted the athletic teams. Varsity and reserve cheering squads led the Pep Club girls. Varsity cheer- leaders consisted of Pat Delsing, Cheri Hansen, Karen and Kathy Prochazka, and Mary Ann Wood. Jody Benda, Colleen Duncan, Di- ane Golka, Irene Phillips, and Len- nie Walters completed the B-squad yell leaders. Bill Smith led the lettermen by serving as president of H-Club. Vice-President, Chuck Messer- smith, and Secretary-Treasurer, Mike Brost, made up the cabinet. H-Club is an honor organiza- tion for athletes who have lettered in a sport. Any of the following requirements must be met: track— earn one point in a meet during the season; football and basket- ball—play one quarter over half of the total number of quarters played; and wrestling—wins in at least half of the individual’s match- es. 23

HHS Bobcats Start Seventies With Victorious 4-3-2 Season Despite a slow start the Bob- cat spirit could not be denied as long awaited dreams of a winning season were finally fulfilled. A nucleus of proud seniors, rein- forced by promising underclass- men, comprised the team which compiled a 4-3-2 record, the best achievement in eight years at HHS. The offensive unit, directed by Coach Larry Sweet, developed ability and g' ?d potency as the season contii ed. Hemingford had a statistical edge gaining 1,667 yards, compared to their opponents’ 1,569. Although the Bobcats’ attack was effective for limited intervals during the early season, the first total team-effort was in the Mor- rill game. Determined blocking by the interior linemen and the strong running of sophomore full- back Dave Engel spurred the Cats to a 14-6 triumph. Engel ran for jaunts of 37 and 53 yards to score both touchdowns in the victory over the Southern Panhandle “C” Champions. Sweet felt the team’s performance against the Lions was the biggest highlight of the year.
