af, o I Gwen Hall and Jerry McNally, wh have so orten dis- played their school spirit, were vot MOST SCHOOL SPIRIT, a title which they richly des ve. Gwen, as cheerleader, received the I tle MOST SCHOOL SPIRIT overwhelmingly. Her se rvi I e to the school as cheerleader included leading yells at ll the pep assem' blies, football and basketball games, -H say nothing of the night pep rallies. Gwen has been a heerleader for two years, and as a sophomore was a pom om girl. Not only has Gwen displayed her school spirit a a cheerleader, but any time there'sa need for someone to romote something for the school, Gwen can be depended upon to do her best. She is also a fulltime participant in school affairs. Gwen had the lead in the Junior Class Play, a role in the Senior Class Play, was a member of the BADGER and HASSAY' AMPER staffs, an attendant at Homecoming, a two star Thespian, a member of Yellowjackets, National Honor Society, and Quill and Scroll. The reason for Jerry's election is very apparent. As Senior Class vice-president this year Jerry got behind all class activities, making this year a big success. Jerry has taken part in sports in the form of football and track for the past three years. During basketball season he lends a helping hand to his fellow Badgers by serving as athletic manager. Together, Gwen and Jerry have put a lot of spirit back into P,H,S, and have made attending school even more enjoyable. 11 1
