Spirit, pep, cheers, laughter . . . unite school Several additions and changes of the pep organizational activities were made this year. Mary Kerr, a senior commented, The school spirit was the best it has been in several years. It was displayed successfully by the additional activities. I especially liked seeing the senior boys get so involved! To start the year off right, the pep club officers and squad leaders gave two pep club teas for the new sophomores. On August 24, the day of orientation, Kathy Story and Marsha Kent talked to the girls to encourage them to get involved. The annual pep parade was held on September 6, the night before our first football game. This event was to promote all fall sports. The class com- petition was proudly won by the seniors. This year the pep council planned something new: the car bash pizza feed! It was held on November 1. Ap- proximately 150 students attended. Spirit Day was held on November 2. It was however, planned all week by numerous spirited girls. The class com- petition was won by the juniors. Seniors deserve special recognition, so twice during the year, November 9 and February 22, all senior pep organization members received corsages and other special privileges by the club. Parents are also important, so in honor of them, the pep council had a Parent's Night for every sport. Parents were guests at the sporting event that night and were served refreshments afterwards. This is the first year that every sport has gotten a Parent' Night. A new trend was started this year of having pep club breakfasts on Friday mornings. The officers and a squad leaders should furnish the food for the girls. Four breakfasts were held, plus a special pizza dinner before a basketball game. Islander Day, a long tradition at HHS, was held on February 22. The best dressed teachers were Mr. Epp and Mr. May. The best dressed students were J. D. Brown and Mark Ralph. Approximately '70 female Tigers par- ticipated in the Powderpuff Basketball game on March 29. Coaches were Miss Moeller and Mrs. McCauley. Boy referees, Staggerettes, and cheerleaders, added comedy to the even- ing. The J .V. game was won by Moeller's Senior Incentives. A special new event of this year was the senior pep banquet. This was for all seniors who were in a pep organization and a sport. It was held in April. LEFT: The girls show their talent in basketball, as they shoot for the hoop.
