The ndtiMirt hoard of the I’rpper Club get advice from lr». Propkop. The Pepper Club officer» are Connie Henoch, Katli Mace. Dianne Stru . and Susie Ivey. Popper Club Support This year ihe Pepper Club was headed by Dianne Struss. The other club officers elected were Connie Henoch, vice-president; Susan Ivey, secretary; and Kathy Mace, treasurer. Mrs. John Prokop helpfully assisted the club a- its s|tonsor. An advisory board was organized to help the officers in various duties and decisions. The board, chosen by the officers, consisted of two representatives from each class. The club occupied two sections at the Civic Audi- torium and cheered the basketball team to its victories. Hie sections alternated black and white backgrounds with a contrasting “L. P.” A new look was added when the girls appeared wearing new orange gloves. The purchase of these gloves was financed by the sale of bows for packages at Christmas time by the club members. Also through this project the club was able to purchase a new metal hoop. In addition to cheering, the most important function of the organization, the club covers the large hoop with paper and paints an appropriate warning to the op- position. The team runs through the hoop before the game while the Pep| er Club cheers. 18
