THE TALE BEARER The Pep Club In order to promote and develop good sportsmanship and fair play in all contests a Pep Club was organized at the beginning of the 1925 basket ball season under the leadership of Miss Nola McCleary. Twenty-five of the live wires of the four classes were chosen as active charter members of the club with the nine men of the basket ball squad as honorary members. Under the leadership of Bonnie Butterfield and Helen Buethe this band of pepsters yelled themselves to a place of renown among neighboring schools. Rival teams and rooters were amazed at the rousing support given the Dakota teams, even in the face of defeat. Breastbands of maroon and gold were purchased and worn by every member at all inter-scholastic contests. New yells were created and taught to the student body in general. The active members of the club are: BONNIE BUTTERFIELD 1 HELEN BUETIIE S MYRLAH KRAMER ......
