Walker, the club has had many projects with which to support its objective. Club members decorate for home football games and for the annual Homecoming Dance. Minia- ture Colonials' license plate tags and Colonials' buttons are sold by members to support enthusiasm for all athletic events. President of the club, Margaret Lamb, and club member, Margaret Petty, donned self-made clown costumes for several of the season's football games, cheering along with the Cheerleading squad. Another of the club's most successful endeavors in years past is its group cheering and representation at all sports occasions. fl II3
