Yell-leader This has been an active and prosperous season for the pep club organized under the supervision of Miss Vivian C. Sutton. Nearly every day during the out-door-basketball season, the squad with their leader, Mildred Jenkins, and their coach, Miss Vivian Sutton, could be seen going through their drills, perfecting them for presentation. For each performance a new drill had to be learned. The most beautiful was the flash-light drill presented dur- ing the intermission at the half of the Blairstown-Norris game. The costumes were solid red dresses made on the princess pattern with white buttons decorating the front, and with white collars and cuffs to set off the solid red of the dresses. The leader's and the coach's costumes were the exact converse of those of the other members of the squad, being white in color With red buttons, collars, and cuffs. B. H. S. E! ll ,- PAGE 37 38
