The 125 members of the club are joined together for the purpose of promoting good sportsmanship and helping boost the school spirit. Founded with the idea that everyone performs better with encouragement, the Pep Club goes to work to give that extra enthusiasm which helps to win Logan's games. Any freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior student is welcome to join the club. The officers of the club during the 1957-58 school year were: president, Alice Anderson, vice-president, Joan Bugbeeg secretary, Mary Mackie, treasurer, Cozette Eastman, and co-chairmen of the pep assem- blies, Mary Martin and Ann Wartinbee. One of the major activities of the Pep Club each year is the traditional Football Festival. The members willingly design and decorate the gymnasium for the dance and decorate the goal posts at the football game with red and white streamers and pom-poms. The decorations at the dance this year consisted of silhou- ettes of megaphones, leaves, and footballs, on the walls of the gym. The false ceiling was of red and white crepe-paper streamers. The throne was a black velvet backdrop with silver footballs lettered in red bearing the names of the queen and her court. A cheerleader was banked on each side of the throne. The general chairman of the Football Festival was Pat Ames. Chosen queen of the 1957 Football Festival was Cozette Eastman. She chose Len Beranek as king. The girls of the court and the boys who escorted them were: Karen Blankenship and Earl Howard, Helen Domstrich and David Larson, Janet Dunham and Jim Luehne, Kay Jenks and Jim Blank, Mary Mackie and George Nelson, and Mary Martin and Richard Doolittle. The court reigned over the dance and the girls were introduced during the half-time ceremonies at the football game. The members of the club also plan the various pep assemblies which are held during the year. They arrange for unusual and entertaining skits, and many members of the club participate in them. Buses to out-of-town games are also arranged for by the club for the purpose of getting as many Logan rooters as possible to attend these games, played away from home. The club also sponsors dances after some of the football and basketball games. ' The girls also held several parties this year. Among these were a Halloween party and a Christ- mas party. A special section is reserved for the members of the club at all home games. Much of the cheering at the game originates from this large section of en- thusiastic girls. Mrs. Jane Koel was the advisor of Pep Club during the first semester. Mrs. Albina Haniil was their advisor during the second semester.
