fC v x As in other years the Purple Pansies proved themselves quite peppy at times. The active membership was not particularly large — this probably was due to the incon- venience of the meeting times. New em- blems, designed by Ma Nixon, were used this year. The large E.J.C. emblems in purple and gold were worn on white sweater . White shirts, dark trousers and purple ties completed the attire. The club helped sponsor an all-school party the first week of school which enabled everyone to get acquainted. A picnic on East Hill was then held to repaint the school letters. Several bonfire pep rallies were held at the Athletic Field during football season, stunts at games, and programs in assembly comprised the minor events of the year. The two major events were those BOY ' S PEP CLUB hum of sponsoring, in collaboration with the Gold Diggers, the two banquets honoring the players of the football and basketball teams. Throughout the school year the pep clubs had difficulty of keeping a definite group of cheerleaders. At different times the following leaders appeared in almost every possible combination: Wayne Tarman, Charles Naill, Robert Wiggers, Sarah Margaret Blair, and Bill Brooks. Plans were laid to continue the policy started last year — that of holding a spring roundup, which is in a few words, a party for all high-school seniors of the surround- ing towns. But due to the building program the idea was abandoned. This year ' s officers were Wayne Tarman. president; Max Nixon, vice-president; Allan Ayers, secretary-treasurer; and Mr, Coffman, sponsor.

All of the athletic activities of the school are of great interest to the Gold Diggers It is the duty of this club to sponsor the pep organization of the Juco girls. Any girl in college who has sufficient interest may become a member. This year the girls adopted a regular uniform which they wore to all of the games. It consisted of purple sweaters, gold em- blems, and black skirts. The emblems were designed and made by Max Nixon. The chief activities of the club, other than the sponsoring of pep, were the giving of the football and basketball banquets in December and March. These banquets, honoring the players of the football and basketball teams, were the most beautiful ever presented in Juco history. By the cooperation of both pep clubs these two banquets, pep and stunt chapels were presented. Every so often the Gold Diggers held sway over the stands at the football games. Somehow or other by their persuading with appetizing hot dawgs and candy they managed to roll those nickels and dimes into their coffers. The officers of the club were Maxine Walker, president,- Sarah Margaret Blair, vice-president; Caroline Lindendaum, sec- retary,- Dorothea Bear and treasurers; Miss Beuchat, sponsor :mma ice, e GIRLS ' PEP CLUB
