All students, including boys, are urged to join this popular group. The standard uniform for girls is a black skirt and sweater or crop-top with the Indian symbol. The officers revised the constitution last summer so that the majority of the business is now conducted by the executive board instead of by the entire club. The executive board con- sists of the officers, the cheerleaders, and the class captains and representatives. This division leaves the meetings for group activities. Also reorganized this year was the drill team. From the 150 girls who tried out in the fall, thirty-two regulars and eight alternates were chosen. Their new uniforms are black skirt and white sweater with an orange S. The group has performed at more games-football and basketball-than ever before. Other activities of the Pep Club have been the Homecoming Dance, the Basketball Dance, several pep assemblies, the se- lection of Varsity and B-Team cheerleaders, and a flash card performance at one football game.

Literary Societies Revising the organization of the literary society activity has been one of the main tasks this year. Winning the contest was still the prime goal of each club, but the process was changed. In the fall it was decided that the ten existing clubs were not enough to accommodate all the prospective members. As a result, two new clubs were formed, they were named Alethea and Aurora. Since the traditional Sunday tea was deemed im- practical for such a large group, a coke party after school in the new cafeteria was held instead. After the new members were initiated, a rash of breakfasts, barbecues, pizza parties and Italian dinners ensued. Later in the year the increased size and number of societies demanded other changes. Scarcity of judges made it necessary to reduce the number of entries of each club to five, one in each division. Also, the contest itself was becoming longer and longer as an oration and a declamation were added for each new society. To solve this problem, the orations were given the Wednesday before the contest night, thus shortening the actual final contest time by approximately an hour and a half. As there are more than five hundred literary society members, finding a place to hold the annual pre-contest dinner was difficult. In the end, the banquet was held in the new cafe- teria, caterers and table decorations disguised the familiar setting. The auditorium, transformed with crepe paper and flowers in a rainbow of colors, was the scene of the contest. Each club marched in singing its own praises. The declamations were heard and a tense half-hour followed as the judges made their final decision. Amid exclamations of joy and sorrow, the 1964 cup was awarded to Delphi, Sesame and Zend-Avesta.
