These Groups Inspire School Spirit CHPIQR LEADERS 'llhe enthusiasm with which students re- sponded to the call for cheer leaders this year was commendable. At all games this year, either at home or away. Miss l,uhm's cheer leaders were present leading loyal fans in cheers and songs. They braved the cold, snowy nights at the stadium leading our team to victory on the gridiron, and a few loyal enthusiasts finished the basket' ball season at the State Tournament. This year's letter winners are Basil Reimers. Arnold Carlson and Marilyn Paulson. To earn a letter a cheer leader needs 600 points. PEP CLUB XVith Miss Hildegard Hein as adviser of Pep Club. the girls have completed the eleventh year of promoting good sportsmanship and enthusiasm in Austin High School. Much of the success of the l94l Homecoming was due to the effective planning of the Pep Club. They acted as the central committee, taking care of the election of the queen, planning the parade and arranging the Alumni dance. By selling tags, streamers and candy at games the members earned enough money to do- nate twenty-five dollars to the Red Cross. One of the highlights of the year was a banquet and theater party attended by the twenty-five members.
