Dress right I Front ! Roll is called, then- Right face, forward march ! A group of comely, whiteclad girls march around the room two or three times. Down the center in fours-Left, Right, Left, Right-First four mark time-Left, Right Left, Right, Halt! One Two! After about twenty minutes of strenuous-Oh you don't think they're strenuous? All right, you try this. Bend your knees, place your hands flat on the floor in front of your feet, and then straighten your knees. As I was saying, after the strenuous exercise QI knew you'd agreel comes- Forward march! Left, Right, Left, Right! To the rear, March! Left, Right, Left, Right! Fours quarter WOfkIng Hard wheel right, march! One, Two, Three, Four! Left, Right, Left, Right! - until the words- Fall in! are heard. Captains forward! is the signal for the mad scramble to get started playing basketball.Almost no sooner are they started thanthe fifteen 'till three bell rings. Again comes the famil- iar Fall in ! After the group is once more stretched along the length of the floor- Right face! Forward march! Run around the room ! -and they run! Those who can't take it drop out of line until- Excused! Then and only then, do they show speed. Under the showers cry upon cry is heard, Turn on the warm water! Those who brave the cold water come out shaking and shivering. Amid the off-tune singing and shrill gossiping, some-one yells, What time is it? Almost three! A hurried dash of powder, a quick job of running a comb through the hair, a dab of lipstick, and out they go to make a mad dash across the street to class. Honestly, this isn't a glimpse of the inside of the state prison for Wayward girls, but an average hour of classwork in one of the juco girls' gym classes. PAGE 27

This year the club ordered quite a bit of new material and made new and stricter rules concerning attendance at 1'eg- ular meetings and games. Besides supporting the team by cheering, the club sponsors a concession stand at football and basketball games. Two freshmen, Miss Eva Lea Grey and John Shea, and a sophomore, David Holland, led the cheering at sports events. Robert VVilson was president of this years organization and Freda Hutto was secretary. Lois Akers acted as chairman of the concession com- mittee. As a large number of the pep club members arc freshmen the group looks forward to an even more active year in 1938-39. Tribute To School I shall never be able to thank her enough for the encouragement she gave and the time she spent to keep me from failing. I entered Junior College in 1937 and I havcn't rc- grctted a moment of it. I have always dreamed of being a great engineer,- a civil engineer- one who builds bridges, dams, and does other construction jobs. I shall have to face many hard knocks, but I hope that some day my dream will be realized. After all education is the foundatio-n of success. I have taken great interest in my school mark-and I hope to be a success. Page 29
