Pence PEP CLUB The Bow Wow Club C1925 version of Pep Clubj was the first organized group of girls to take part in cheering their athletic teams to victory. They sold tickets to sports events, gave dances and sold candy so they could treat the grid stars to a big feed. The girls always worked for good sportsmanship throughout the school. Now the Bow Wow Club is gone-sand in its place is a group of energetic girls who contribute much to the gay spirit and colorfulness of our athletic events. Organized as we see it today in 1945 the Pep Club has strived to set an example of good sportsmanship and has promoted school spirit this year by putting on pep assemblies, distributing booklets of yells, selling shakers, and drilling at the games. Often the success of any club depends greatly on the officers and advisor. This year the group was fortunate to have as its leaders the following: Mary Jaques, president, Donna Driver, vice-presi- dent, Wilma Smith, secretary, Virginia Ross, treasurer, and Miss Shuck, advisor. BASKETBALL Little did James Naismith know that his game, invented in 1891, now called basketball, would draw more spectators than any other sport in the United States. A peach basket nailed to the wall served as the first target for the boys in his gym classes. This sport was popularized during the long winter months when weather did not permit such outdoor games as football and baseball. This year Coach Godfrey's Bulldogs had an exciting season, treating E.H.S. fans to thrillingly close games. Top: Coach Henry, R. Sorenson, R. Hall, G. Marshall, K. Brown, L. Sorenson, W. Chastain, R.
