mums, apple pie, . . . Last summer the pom pon line went to Kachina Pom Pon Camp in Thatcher. At camp the line learned many dances and ways to cre- ate spirit in school. While they were there they received two Excellent ribbons for their achievements. As soon as football season started these girls were busy preparing dances and performing them at the pep assemblies and half time shows. Besides dancing, the pom pons did a lot to help raise the school spirit. They made signs, cookies for the football and bas- ketball teams, and rode on the booster buses to help raise enthusiasm among the students. After only the third football game, Karol Bax- ter quit the line but was replaced by Dana Edge. To raise money for pom pon and basket- ball uniforms, the pom pon line had two money making projects. The first was the selling of mums and boutonniers for the Homecoming latl ,t,,,a Dance. Second they had a pie sale. Eighty or- ders were taken for their pies which were made in the Home Ec room. .W X.

Black Awareness, starting off its secondyear, occupied itself with qualifying for the coveted Club of the Year Award. One of the outstanding, and perhaps the most important, activities was the instantaneous action taken by the club due to the tragic burning of the Mosley home. An immediate fund raising drive bringing in a total of 35175, was the first step in helping the Mosleys get back on their feet. In addition, the members of the club then sponsoreda benefit dance, with all the proceeds, totaling Sl25., going to the Mosley family. Playing at the dance was the band, Six Strong, in which the club presi- dent, Johnny Johnson, was a member. Resulting from the success of the Black Day the spring before, the Black Awareness Clubbers planned to sponsor another Black Day in '72. Planned for the program was a fashion show dis- playing Afro-American fashions, original writings by club members and students, and other inter- esting cultural creations.
