Their striking routines and costumes did much to increase school spirit. Under the able direction of Connie Kaponin, the group performed at several large functions. The solo performances of the leader Connie Kaponin and the acrobatic feats of the Mattheis twins highlighted each appearance of the maiorettes. Perhaps their biggest thrill came from twirling at the annual Military Ball at the University of South Dakota, February 22. The members included Carol Fox, Joan Mabee, Justine Koop, Shirley Scott, seniors, and four juniors-Shirley Brenneman, Mary Frances Hoven, Cheryl Williamson, Jeannine Slettebak, and Delores and Dorothy Mattheis, acrobats. To add to this varied scene, we had our six spirited cheerleaders who led us on to bigger and better cheers. The senior leaders, Janne Broderick and Jim Johnson, assisted by juniors Marjory Murphy and Maurice Burg with sophomores Carolyn Clark and Helen Ann Jordan, had a strenuous year. They were always on deck for any important athletic function. The annual Homecoming and Snake Dance were spurred on by this peppy six. Following tradition, an entertaining Gay Scanties Review was given in February under their direction. lt takes more than six people to keep the pep of MHS at high pitch, so the Pep Club gave loyal support. This year saw the third birthday of the Pep Club. The group served as the produc- tion crew for the athletic activities carried on by the cheerleaders. Through their efforts, bus- ses were chartered for out-of-town games, and our season ticket campaign was a record success. All in all, these three organizations merit a vote of thanks from the school for helping to make this an outstanding year. .
