Becky Fields, secretary, and Judy Mussleman. treasurer. With the help of Mrs. Prokop, Pepper Club sponsor, the advisory board, and the varsity cheerleaders. Pepper Club was a great success. I'hc advisory board, consisting of two represent- atives from each class, was chosen by the officers. This year something new was tried in organiz- ing the cheering block. Instead of having two sections as in the past years, only one was used. Girls wore all black with the orange gloves adding much color to the section. The “LP” formation was not used because of the lack of girls. Lach week a group of girls was chosen to make a hoop. The hoop was made of paper covering a metal hoop, with a warning for the opposing team painted on it. At the games the team entered the auditorium through the hoop. The 1964 officer» of Pepper Club are Linda Schrocder, Judy Muulcman, Susan Ivey, and Becky Fields. The Pepper Club advisory I oard makes plan for the sectional. 16

Last spring the student body elected six girls for the varsity cheerleader squad. Each girl performed two cheers and the school song during an assembly. The six girls were Dianne Bcrnacchi, Vicki Bernacehi, Judy Reed. Penny Scholl, Carol Uhlcmann, and Donna Uhlc- mann. The girls then chose their own captain, Donna Uhlcmann. Miss Karen Johnson is the faculty sponsor. In the month of June, these six girls attended the Smith Walbridgc Chcerlcading Camp in Syracuse, Indi- ana. There they worked on new techniques of cheering to use in the coming season. During the remainder of the summer, the girls practiced about four nights each week. When school started in the fall, they cut practices down to once or twice per week. The varsity cheerleaders cheered at all of the home basketball and football game's and traveled to most of the out-of-town games. The reserve cheerleaders were chosen by the student body in the fall. Their try-out was the same as the var- sity try-out. The girls chosen for reserve cheerleaders were Jane 'Froth, Sally Hacker. Karen Salek, and Carol Swan- son. These girls cheered at the home basketball games. The reserve cheerleaders attended as many out-of-town games as possible.
