Coach Zanowicz inspires '69 football team at first pep rally. PEP CLUB CAMPAIGNS FOR MEMBERS Whether painting posters, cheering at the Saturday games, or planning new events to take place at pep rallies, the Pep Club has consistently helped to instill an enthusiastic spirit in the student body of S.P.F.H.S. The Raider Pep Club, working with the Cheer- leaders and the School Spirit Committee, constantly looked for new and better ideas to stir student inter- est. Under the leadership of the officers, and the guidance of the two advisors, Mrs. Silverlieb and Miss Curti, the Pep Club began a campaign for mem- bership during the first few weeks of school. To familiarize the students with the various cheers and songs, a booklet was distributed to all who joined. A number of committees were formed to design signs, take attendance, and plan club activities. Joining with the Student Council in the planning and execution of Homecoming Weekend gave evidence of the capabil- ities of the Pep Club.

In striving for that goal, this year's Pep Club created a precedent for later Pep Clubs in an effort for unification and innovation.
