It made me feel good when Pep Club decorated my locker because it meant that they thought of me, said Debbie Devolder, wrestling manager. Pep Club decorated athletes' lockers to promote spirit and encourage the athletes before a game, meet, or any other sporting event. The girls used balloons, candy bars, and gum to add the finishing touches to the locker decorations. Pep Club probably spends approximate- ly S400 a year for paint and paper to decorate lockers.
