The Northside High School Pep Club was kept busy during the year, especially during football. The members spent many afternoons after school painting signs and then spent more time hanging them up at the games. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Shirley Dunstan, who has sponsored the club for several years. The members held several car washes this year to help pay for the paints to make those colorful signs. The efforts the group made during the year did much to heighten Eagle spirit.
