maj orette club Every Monday during activity period, the old gym is crowded with anxious girls, devoting their time to learning the basics of becoming high-stepping major- ettes. Sponsored by Mrs. Brandt, the Majorette Club is open only to sophomore and junior girls. The seven majorettes take charge of the group, and begin to teach the prospective twirlers the elemental marching steps. When the majority have mastered the art of high kick- archery club A new club has been established at North Allegheny to promote one of the oldest of sports, arch- ery. Approximately fifteen girls belong to this group, which is sponsored by Mr. Gaisbauer. The many activity periods which they spent practicing were well rewarded at the Fall Outdoor In- terscholastic Archery Tourna- ment, which was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Division of Girls' and Women's Sports. In this statewide contest, Suzanne Alberts placed second and Vir- ginia Stein seventh. ing in step with fast-moving marches, they are divided into small groups, each headed by a majorette. From here, the girls are instructed in the routines. In order to be chosen a majorette, it is not a re- quirement that a girl be a member of the club. But the practice and help offered is so beneficial that few girls try out at the end of the year unless they have attended Majorette Club.

junior high pep clubs Cheers for North Allegheny! May her every effort be victorious and her every victory well won. This wish for success is a common ambition among members of Pep Clubs whose innovation last year opened new doors for school spirit at N.A. A victory won without the vigorous cheers of supporters is indeed shallow and without meaning. To remedy these empty meaningless contests, enthusiastic clubbers painted signs, en- couraged attendance at games, meets and junior girls matches, and, most important, joined their voices in urging the Tigers on to gratifying victory. A black beret and a white shirt do not make a Pep Clubber and sometimes hide an indifferent spirit, but the heat of true school spirit found within, warms fellow students and incites in oth- ers a similar enthusiasm. May our Pep Clubs continue to complement N.A.'s victories with the warmth of true school spirit.
