Clubs combine to help sports A new Pep Club was formed with the help of the Cheerleaders. This group, along with the Let- termen's Club, tried to encourage sports at LHS. The Pep Club sponsored a bake sale to get the organization under- way. They purchased T.shirts and sat together at games. Although small in number, they could be heard cheering at almost all home games. To be active in the Lettermen's Club, students must have lettered in a varsity sport. The club spon- sored an Alumni game. The game featured members of Linnls 1976 state team. The club also presented faculty iistars in its an- nual All-Star Faculty game. Things they accomplished for the sports programs included, pur- chasing a radio for the long bus rides, selling athletic banquet tickets and scheduling a clean-up at the fieldhouse. While Jessica Peters cheers on the team, sponsor Lisa Clough shares an observation with Cindy Helmig. Members of the Lettermen's Club are Row One: Coach Deb Kahler. Sue Scheulen. Stacey Light.
