Peppers By SYLVIA MACNUSON The Yellers of the Brown is the name of the pep pro- moters and spirit keeper uppers of the campus. Every Friday they don their dazzling yellow sweaters with ths significant brown emblem in preparation of a Plainsman battle. Lyda Varney is president of the organization for the first semester. Other cabinet officers include Carroll Story, vice-president; Maxine Cope, secretary; Vernadell Green- slit, treasurer; Warren Johnston, publicity chairman. The three cheer leaders, elected at the beginning of the year, are Dean McGee, Maxine Cop3 and Evangeline Lind- blade, with McGee as head cheer leader. Membership consists of 50 members — five from each social group and five at large. All new members are on probation for a period of six weeks until they prove them- selves worthy of permanent membership. Besides planning all the pep rallies, torchlight parades and snake dances, the club conducts freshman initiation, decorates the campus for Homecoming, and plans the ath- letic banquet in the fall. In the spring they sponsor the big social event of the year, the Big Snob-Old Grouch party. Below — This man.v Pep club members appeared for a Yellers of the Brown picture.
