lub combin to how support ne good way to get involved in school was to become a Pep Club member, Timer, or Mat Maid, as many students found out. It only took a little time and effort. Mat Maids kept score, re- marked sophomore Michele Barkdoll, and at home meets we ran the time clock. We did mainly whatever the coach wanted. Having a secret pep pal and decorating hisfher room was a large part of Pep Club's activities. To show their support they attend- ed many of the sporting events of fellow J-Hawks. Keeping score, holding the rope, and timing the races were the main jobs of the timers, according 52 Mat Maids to senior Rhonda Vosdingh. The timers went to the state swim meet which was held at the University of lowa to show their support for the team. It was agreed upon by all three groups that it was fun being in- volved in their respective clubs. They were able to meet a lot of new people. Since most of the sports had outstanding seasons this year, it made the efforts of the Pep Club members, Mat Maids, and Timers much more en- joyable. Coaches and players agreed that these support groups were invaluable to their teams. Timer Shari Stucker uses precision as she clocks a swimmer at a home meet in the Jeff pool.
