Sidoff, H Majjeras, M. Harrison. Co-op: J. Mattel, J. Black, J. Burrill, F. Wheeler Under the leadership of Howard Benson, the Pep Committee has been very active in encouraging greater participation in school spirit. Color week, noon dances, rallies, and a dance after a basketball game are the main activities sponsored by the group. The success of the committee in selling transportation tickets to football games greatly increased the attendance at the out-of-town games. Any student who wishes to become a member must submit an application to be voted upon by the committee. In June the members of the committee vote to determine which junior member will be the chairman the next year. The Pep Committee is sponsored by the instructors of the girls' and boys' physical education departments. As a source of convenience to the students the Co-op sells necessary school sup- plies such as paper, pencils, and special review books. Any profits made are turned over to the general student body fund. Because it is managed by the students the Co-op offers fine experience in management and salesmanship. The staff consists of two senior managers and two junior clerks, with George 5. Stewart as faculty adviser. 21
