'Z' v . ff! The peppiest of all pep squads are the Red Hots made up of the girls of the upper division. Some noteworthy facts about these girls are that they are the team's most loyal supporters, they radiate enthusiasm. energy, and pep at all pep assemblys and games and do their utmost to promote all school activities. Under the leadership of Miss Kate Stamper, the girls this year presented a mock trial trying the case of school spirit. We wonder why the student body president was so uncomfortable? Perhaps we should say, Hats off, to the Red Plots! just as we say. Hats off and Good luck to our fighting forces. First Row: Mary Margaret Rector, Jenny Tallen, Miss Evelyn Miller, Shirley Jacobs, Miss Kate Stamper, Covella Harris, Mary Anna Hart- ley.

CO-ANNS As lower division pep organiza- tion, one of the chief functions of the Co-Anns is to set an example for other members of the Student Body by active participation in all activities. All Co-Anns must have passing gradesg we are proud of our high standards, The cooperation and willingness of this group is due to the Governing Body composed .l X si, ,p of the officers and two Freshman members. The Co-Anns have accomplished several things this year under the sponsorship of Miss Weis and Miss Bartle, however, Miss Bartle left us in the fall to venture on the sea of matrimony. Vife volunteered our services to assist the theaters of this town in their drives for the Infantile Paraly- sis fund and the United Nations VVar Chest. Cooperating with the Red Hots, we presented an assembly stunt to arouse the School Spirit of the Stu- dent Body. VVho will forget the Court of M. J. C. and the trial of School Spirit?

Everyone was knocked for a loop last year when nine boys and one girl obtained membership to the Phi Theta Kappa. However, this year the fairer sexi' came back into their own when five girls and two boys became eligible for member- ship. ' Because of the wartime condi- tions, the drafting of the chapter room, and the losing of their be- loved sponsor, Miss Lillian Case- bolt, the Phi Theta Kappa social activities were cut down. However, both pledges and members enjoyed a lovely banquet at the school cafe- teria followed by the impressive initiation, The annual convention was to be held in Columbia, Missouri this year. All of the members were packed to go, when because of transportation difficulties the con- vention was changed into an execu- tive meeting. , However, the Junior College Chapter did have a representative, as Elbert Stringer was the national president for this year. First Row: Hartman Rector, Miss Lil- lian Casebolt, Arthur Schwab. Second Row: Carl Baker, Thomas En- wright, Elbert Stringer. As the quotation goes, Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. VVhat is good enough for beasts ought to be good enough for anyone, so this year under 'the able direction of Mr. Ellis there was formed a girls' chorus to provide said Music. The organization has been func- tioning all year and has improved greatly both in sound and size. Mr. Ellis came to us this year from the Lone Star State and has made quite a Star', of himself, di- recting our musical organizations. The girls have sung for both Civic and Religious groups and their se- lections range from popular tok re- ligious songs. So here's congratulations to both you, Mr. Ellis, and to you, the mem- bers of the Girls' Chorus. First Row: Jean Rainey, Roberta Lynch, Estalene Lloyd, Eleanor Anderson, Pansy Mahan, Betty Zook, Mar- jorie Brockway.
