The f team just dldn't seem to -I be getting enough sup- port from the student body. So--the speech class took over! What first aroused them was Raymond Sehultz's fiery speech noondemning the students for their lack of support to our valient team. He promised a oep meeting such as had never graced the halls in the history of Gilman High School. He gave us what he promised amid a mixture of NThe Chattanooga Choo-Choo,u and a very serious operation on Danny Parmley. After that, the student body looked up to the speech class for their pep meetings, as the class got into the hab- it. They soon recognized the many and varied talents of thc members. -In preparation for the oep assemblies, the class appointed a chairman to take charge and plan the program as it would send our team to victory. On the whole, we would say the pep meetings were successful and met with approval. Chairmen following Raymond, active in the pep programs were Arlene Swift, Darlene Waltemeyor, Gretchen Wiseman, Isla Moxley, Genevieve Strand, Vivian Stonewall, Marcia Carey, and Loren McAllister. On the orofram r clever skit was usually presented, written by speech class members. When it came time for the county tournament they had a fun- eral for our first opponent, with weepers draped in mourning black ani a solemn clergyman following the wreath-covered coff1n.CLater, it seemed, the tables were turned on usb. A playlet that most pleased the students was the take- of of the faculty. Speech members took carts of teachers, and portrayed a typical day in Gilman High, The skit ended with uCoach Rhumn giving the team members a pep talk. The active oart the cheerleaders, Ethelyn Holmes and Nadine Stonewall, took in these programs was an lmoortant factor and is greatly appreciated by the student body. -59-
