RALLY Nearly 10,000 posters, 3,000 feet of banners, 24,000 feet of crepe paper, and 75 gallons of paint were used by the rally committee in their campaign to in- crease school spirit. Despite the cost of all this spirit-producing material, which was paid out of A.S.B. funds, the pro- ceeds from athletic contests rose to an all-time high of l7,000 dollars. However, not all the advantages of the rally committee were monetary. In- creased student body numbers usually produces decreased spirit. Not so at Chu-Hi. Through the tremendous efforts of this group, teams and spectators alike were inspired to usually victorious efforts. At the first football game of the year, 130 miles away at Brawley, enthusiasm ran so high that the Spartans nearly out- numbered the Cougars. The only com- ment San Diego students could think of was a wondering How do you do it? The answer was an energetic, un- scrupulous, imaginative, young man known by some as that boy who never stopped working, but to most of us as Ken Kimball, Chula Vista's outstanding Commissioner of Pep. K n is shown working on Chula Vista's unique flashing electric sign Made entirely by students, it flashes and alternately spells, SPFAI RGTHATNS. CGMMITTEE OFFICERS Heading the many functions of the rally committee were, left to right: Ken Kimball, Commissioner of Pep, Mr. I John Geyer, committee advisor, Lynn Averill, decorations A, division chairman, Marilyn Barts, rally division chairman, and Linda Tureman, art division chairman. RALLY DIVISION 'iCougars were massacred, Matadors gored, and Foot- hillers captured - all under the direction of the pep rally committee. This imaginative group planned and executed clever skits which enlivened many a game day. These three signs each fifteen by twenty feet, combine to proclaim nearly 1000 square feet of Spartan spirit,

BODY LEGISLATURE This year's legislature was perhaps the busiest in recent school history. Besides their regular work of general legislation, they instituted two new traditions at Chu-Hi. Of prime importance was the realization, after many months of complicated planning, ofthe academic awards. These awards, unique to the San Diego area, were presented to the ten top students in each class at an assembly that warranted television coverage by two stations- KFMB-TV and KFSD-TV. Secondly was Olympian day. On this limited day session sloppy dress was the rule and class competition was conducted in such olympic sports as hop scotch tug-of-war, egg throwing, and six-legged races, much to the delight ot the on-looking stu- dents. All of this, plus events in the evening, combined to enliven greatly the often slow spring semester. For the success of these and many other activities, the com- missioners are especially to be applauded. To quote Mr. John Geyer, Both individually and as a whole, these commissioners were the most eager and hardest working group of students that I have been privileged to work with in my tour years at Chula Vista High School.

PEP PEP DECORATIONS DIVISION Blue and white everywhere-banners, streamers, liter- ally hundreds of signs, and loaded Chula Vista stands always greeted opposing teams. At home and away the decorations committee worked hard to make the night or afternoon an overwhelming Spartan display of color, spirit, and pageantry. Banners to announce the victorious invasion of Escondido were painted by rally committee members. Eight bus loads of enthusiastic Spartan fans were able to see that crucial game because of rally committee efforts. iii PEP PEP ART DIVISION Each Monday of a sports season the students were greeted by a barrage of posters-silk screened posters, painted posters, funny posters, stenciled posters . . . EVERY kind of poster. Despite Ken's many new techniques for the speedy output of top quality signs, the art committee logged many after-school hours to keep spirit at a peak. Blue and silver tin foil glinted in the sunlight as gasps of surprise spread throughout the homecoming crowd. Chula Vista scored another tirst when the rally committee constructed a queenly float to carry the homecoming court.
