“Yeowlers” The “Yeowlers” club was organized in the year 1930. The members adopted the orange cat with Yeow written across it as their emblem. Prom this the club received its name. The purpose of this club is to support athletics in Chester High School, at basketball games, football games, track meets and other school activities. In 1932 the club adopted a constitution which stated that club officers should be President. Secretary and Treasurer. Cheer Leader and Assistan Cheer Leader; and that each member should receive service points according to the number of games she attends. There are first-class, second-class, and third-class Yeowlers.” These different classes are determined by the number of games which are attended by the members. This is one of the most important and enjoyable clubs in the school. The girls always have a jolly good time and at the same time give their loyal support and backing to Chester High's activities. The officers of the club are President. Georgia Mifflin; Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth Ruppert; Cheer Leader. Ruth Ellen Bean; Assistant Cheer Leader, Ruth Ruppert.

Boy’s Pep Club A group of boys of Chester High School believed that what the Chester Basketball Team really needed for a little support was a section of strong-lunged, noisy, male voices. Accordingly, these nineteen boys set about looking for ways to earn part of the price of their season tickets. They accepted the first opportunity offered which was fifty per cent of the money for tickets sold for a movie picture. By this method the combined group earned enough to pay for half of their season tickets. At the first home game of the season this crowd filled a section of the gym and really did some rooting. Although Chester was defeated by Waterloo this night, that did not seem to bother them, for they came back to the several games during the next few weeks with new yells and more pep than ever. Their spirit continued, and the returning members are planning to come back with new entrants and stronger voices than ever to boost the C. H. S. team of 32 and ’33.
