Pep Club an organization of the past? The 1977-78 athletic season was minus a pep club, however, an unorganized group of spirit boosters backed up the cheerleaders and sport events. People wanting to give the St. Edward teams support would sign up for the bus a couple of days before the event. With so many activities going on - the group chose to discontinue pep club. But next year a pep club will be back - strong as ever! 25
