Rail Backers For the first time, the Altoona Pep Club of 74-75 included boys as well as girls in mem- bership. The main purpose of membership was to cheer on all sports activities and show their spirit by painting signs that were hung thoughout the halls and gym. The elected officers were: Presi- dent, Julie Klee; Vice-President, Penny Skahaug and Secretary-Treasurer, Sue Schafer. When the members attended a game they were given a punch on their membership card. The members with the most punches at the end of the year got a a pin or badge. This year ' s pep club really en- couraged sports activities on to success. Spirit was shown on the way to a game R. Bassing, J. Baraboo, F. Barby, B. Becker, M. Becker, K. Berg, L. Berg, L.

Creative Ideas Inspire Floats Taking first place in the float comp- etition was the Junior class. Their orig- inal float consisted of a large papier- mache Winnie the Pooh and his honey- pot, with the slogan How Sweet It Is . Congratulations are extended to them for a job well done. Second place was won by the Freshman class, who did very well for their first year. They constructed an enormous chocolate kiss and used the slogan Kiss ' em Good- bye . We would like to thank the follow- ing parents for allowing the floats to be built in their garages: Mr. and Mrs. Erickson, Mr. and Mrs. Haugen, Mr. and Mrs. Rulien, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. and Mrs. Peterson. We appre- ciate your warm generosity. Thank you. The Senior class took third place with their tall grand father clock and the slogan Time For a Victory . It was the last Homecom- ing the Seniors could participate in and many long hours of work were put into their final float. The Sophomore class came in fourth, but they added a unique new touch. Instead of pulling the float by car, several of the students pulled it by hand. The float ' s slogan was Blocks to Success. 24

The teacher ' s room was used as a place for relaxation and for prepar- ation for the next day ' s class. Mr. Sorensen received a lovely cake for his birth- day, which was devoured by well-wishing teachers. A bulletin board was displayed using faculty members as representatives in the pilgrim era. Taking a break from a teach- er ' s duties, Mrs. Cowley prepared to make a phone call. Jim Schwiebert and Paul VanderWegen prepared a tribute to Mr. Sorensen. 26
