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.

Newest of the clubs this year is the Girl's Gym- nastic Team. It was begun by girls who wanted to increase their skill in athletics. Led by Presi- dent Linda Sachs and faculty sponsor Mrs. Vera Brandt, they meet every other Wednesday in the gym. To limber up, the girls begin with simple exercises. From there, activities progress to the mats, trampoline, and parallel bars. In order to join, every girl must demonstrate her ability in gymnastics by performing before a select panel of judges. During the year, the team has competed with other schools in the area. gg..-a g. 8.8. The Girls Athletic Association was organized to promote the physical and mental well-being of the girls in North Allegheny High School. Under the direction of their co-sponsors, Mrs. Brandt and Miss Walters, the girls participate in various intramurals and undergo a program of rigorous physical exercise. They have been divided into 114 teams and conduct basketball tournaments. Junior and Senior G.A.A. members held com- petitive bake sales in the fall of last year which augmented the funds in their treasury. The sys- tem of merit under which the girls individually compete is based on points.
