YOU MAKE THE TOUCHDOWN. WE LL MAKE THE NOISE A touchdown, a touchdown, a touch- down. boys! You make the touchdown; we'll make the noise!”—This was not only one of the O. H. S. Pep Club's fav- orite yells, but signified what the main duty of the Pep Club is—to cheer the boys on to victory. Win or lose, the girls were always right there encourag- ing the boys to do their best. To increase the treasury the girls sold candy at all football and basketball games. A new feature of the Pep Club this year was the drill team. The team was outstanding in its flashlight drills at the night games. Officers chosen early in the year were. Cathleen Mueller, president; Lor- ene Gaston, secretary-treasurer; Mar- garet Mary Thalken, drill captain. FIRST CURTAIN—YOU’RE ON Fostering an interest, promoting stu- dent ability, and providing entertainment are the aims of this group. The value of this group in developing self-confidence, poise, and acting ability will be determined in later years if one or many of this group attains any success which may in part be due to training he received at O. H. S. under the direction of Mr. Richardson. When a student first joins the club, he is given the rating of Papoose. If he works for the betterment of the club, and his own acting ability, he is given the rank of Indian. With continued hard work in either plays, readings, as student director, or as stage manager, he finally achieves the highest rank—that of an Attatrouper. For the play On Vengeance Height , the Attatroupers were given a superior rating at North Platte, at the District Declamatory Contest. March 28. Bonnie Jean Boyd was acclaimed best actress of the district. Cheerleaders: Phyllis Hay- ford. Mary Alice Thalken. Marian Raleifth, Patricia Thal- kcn. 1st row: M. Stephenson. J. Inley. B. Pi liter.

OF THE STUDENTS BY THE STUDENTS FOR THE STUDENTS The Student Council. Ogallala High's intermediary between students and fac- ulty. serves to bring the interests of the students before the faculty and to pro- mote student cooperation in behalf of student government. The Student Council sponsored the first school dance this year, decorated the school at Christmas, sponsored the elec- trical demonstration, and is now work- ing to secure student government. The school also sponsored the first school fair, held April 25. in which each class sponsored an exhibition of the work achieved during the school year. WE STAND BEHIND OUR TEAMS The purpose of the Athletic Board is to encourage students to participate in sports, which in turn develop leader- ship and sportsmanship. Among the numerous duties of this board are—decorating the goal posts for footba'I games, advertising at home games of football and basketball, and sponsoring the sale of season tickets. This year this group sponsored the ath- letic banquet, served by the Catholic ladies, December 4. in the high school gym.
