PEI CI.UB The Pe Club, com osed of irls who are interested in the . P. . .P 3 . . . sports activities in which the school participates, is a newly- formed or anization. It was or anized last fall b scveral senior . 3 . . g V girls, and it is now recognized as one of the more popular groups, since it has done much to instill school spirit among students. Not only does the Pep Club arouse school spirit among students and aid the G Club in its undertakings, but it has become an important part of our social life. On December 16 the club held a very successful program dance at which more than one hundred guests were in attendance. It is expected that this dance, since it proved so popular, will become an annual dance. The girls, each displaying the badge, a red ribbon, inspire school loyalty by their group attendance at the various sports events and their genuine enthusiasm for all things athletic. GIRLS' FIELD HUCKEY Girls in mere wisps of blue shorts and white shoes run back and forth on a field between two white goal posts. To the un- observing watcher it would seem that this game is merely a hodge-podge of motion with little or no point. However, closer observation will reveal a basic form beneath each move- ment, a form which is retained throughout the game. Consisting of two teams of eleven players each, three full- backs, two wings, three half-backs, three forwards, and a goalie, the game is played with the point of knocking the ball inside the goal territory. The goalie is the most important player on the field, for it is her duty to allow no ball to pass the goal line. An enervating, enthusiastic game, field hockey is probably one of our permanent activities. STUDENT CUUNCII As a school increases in size, student participation in ad- ministrative matters is often desirable. For this purpose the student council was organized in the early fall of the current year. The body consists of twenty-one members, students whose scholastic record is above average. Regular meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month. These meetings are given over to the discussion and oftentimes the solution of student problems. Two students from each class are selected as members, the class officers automatically become membersg and one member is selected from the entire student body by the principal. The members of this group are made to realize that the student couneiI's success depends entirely upon the courage and open-mindedness with which student problems are conducted by its personnel.
