Pe p Club GopKDwer fired girls with spirit By the use of spirit jugs and never- ending chants, Pep Club, led by the cheerleaders, generated Bruin Spirit throughout the entire student body. Many of the 130-member club spread their spirit by volunteering to put bulle- tin boards up in strategic areas of the school. This method of gaining enthusi- asm was especially effective during sec- tional and regional tourney weeks. The attire of the group was long- sleeve white blouses with red sweater vests. They were worn at every home game and most away games. The yell Bruins have go Power was the constant chant of Mrs. Mary Knote and Mrs. Claudia Goodnight , co- sponsors. The girls gave their vocal cords a rest when they sponsored two after-the- game dances. Proceeds went to pay for the new sweater vests. PEP CLUB: (Boltom Row) K. Fergus, C Noble, J. Sims, R.

BruINformer They won a ' first ' Click of t) ' pesetters. flash of cameras, stickiness of paste-ups. aroma of freshly printed papers, and sweet taste of suc- cess. Senses were quickly aroused as a person entered Room 114, home of the BruINformer. The Friden typesetting machines and other modern production equipment enabled 50 journalists to experience every phase of newspaper production. The bi-weekly paper was named by sophomore Jeanine Hartzell. A special 16-page Sectional edition was printed and distributed on the day of the Sec- tional draw. An open house edition was also distributed to guests on the big night. The BruINformer staff, with Mark Springer as editor, climaxed their work with a first-class press rating. Distributed at the first football game, BrulK former ' s first edition nas a hit with Pam Kershner, Jocelyn Smith. Paste-ups require patience, persistence, and practice for perfection, as editor Mark Springer perceives.
