For the first time Louise Cruver was allowed to twirl her fire baton. She was careful with it, but even so a fire extinguisher was held ready. PGP P-E-P-That's Peninsula's Pep Club, a very enthusiastic group. The girls managed to keep alive school spirit in a variety of ways. Meetings were held once a month to plan for the numerous skits, pep signs, and so on created by the members under the direction of president Karen Larsen, vice president Lane DeWalt, secretary Peg- gy Greeley, and advisor lvlrs. Terry Ma nweiler, Pep Club's work was evident in many areas of school life. Re- member the pep assemblies where your teeth stuck together be- cause ofthe tafty passed out by the club members? And the clever skits created and presented by member Brooke Taylor? And don't forget the green and white pennants sold at the games and in the halls. And the megaphones used by each club member to make the cheering section just that much louder, Yes, all these things combined add up to an active, enthusiastic club, which contributed much to a peppier atmosphere at Pen High. Pep Club officers: Lane DeWalt, Karen Larson, and Peggy Greeley. 41

Maj malw niwdisplag Head majorette Louise Cruver doing her routine to Barefootin' at the Sumner game. The Drill Team formed a palm tree in the background for her to stand under while she twirled, 40 0 Then there were the majorettes. Oh yes! There were Louise Cruver, Barbara Dower, Karen Larsen and Cindy McGugin. The majorettes twirled in the Homecoming parade, during half-time at basketball games, and in the Daffodil and Rhodo- dendron parades. Oh, they were a fiery bunch, especially Louise. Fire on the floor, fire in the air, but usually the fire was in hand during her fire baton routine at the Sumner game. The other girls performed separately too. Barbara and Karen twirled to Peter Gunn and Cindy did an individual routine at the last game. The girls were aided by the drill team in their dramat- ic presentations. You have to give the majorettes credit - they'll give anything a whirl! Majorettes: KNEELING, Cindy McGugin, STANDING, Karen Larsen, Louise Cruver, and Barbara Dower.
