A mascot represents the entire student body and projects an image of her school through her actions. She must also keep confidence and pride within the Pep Club when spirits seem to fall. These vital qualities can be found in Collette Fiffe, the 1968-69 mascot. Donned in a new Ram uniform, Col- lette added zeal to the Pep Club as she fulfilled her duties as mascot at the football and basketball games. Collete Fiffe, mascot, holds her new Ram head made by the Art class. 20

(SITTING) Vice-president Collette Fiffe, Treasurer Mark Jones, and Secretary Leslie Jones. After winning second place in the Diocesan Outstanding Unit Award Contest for 1967-68, the C. Y. O. launched a new year of activities with renewed determination to win the first place trophy. Headed by new chairmen, the committees coordinated the various activities that com- pleted a successful year. All activities were su- pervised and directed by our Lay-Advisor Mrs. Tom Russell and our Spiritual Moderator Father William Surmeier. A few of the activities organized by the various committees included: dances, swim- ming parties, picnics at Milford Lake, the 3- act play entitled Utopia Inc. , roller skating parties, the Modern Problems Forum, bowling tournaments, hayrack rides, the trip to Kansas City to see the Starlight production of South Pacific . One of the prominent activities in which the C. Y. O. members participated was the Diocesan C. Y. O. Convention held in Salina. Supporting their candidate, Mark Jones, for President, the fifteen delegates and two alter- nates campaigned wholehartly for his election. Although Mark was not successful in winning the office, he was appointed a Diocesan Apostolic committee Chairman. Through these diversified activities the C. Y. O. members grew spiritually both as individuals and as a unit. First term committee chairmen: (BACK ROW) P. Pound, S. Devane, D. Hebert, P. Mudd, R. Nenow. (FRONT ROW) B. Boiler, J. Rombeck, J.

Pep Club, Driving Force Behind “Ram Power Pep Club officers: Karen Beavers, treasurer, Dorothy Root, vice-president, Mary Lou Devane, president, and Mary Beavers, secretary. Backing their team with undivided spirit, the SXHS Pep Club enthusiastically cheered the Rams through a year of victories and losses. Cheering along with them was their sponsor of three years, MRS. FRANCIS DANKO. As a team themselves, these girls can long remember such events as sign-making parties, pep rallies, blue and gold clappers, baby showers, battle cries, tournaments, singing on the bus, learning new cheers, forgetting new cheers, homecoming week, forming an X to the music of a band at homecoming halftime, victory dances, Sadie Hawkins, Stop, Look, and Listen, Ram heads, chevrons, hanging signs in the hallway, singing the National Anthem, Clap Your Hands, Pep Club meetings, Two Bits, cramming homework before Tuesday night games, looking forward to Friday night games, cheering in the cold and rain during football season, competing with the thunder of other pep clubs, touchdowns, baskets, and victories. But most of all these girls can share that feeling of sportsmanship and the privilege of contributing to the Ram Power of 68-69 with great loyalty and pride. f f MRS. DANKO relaxes a few minutes from her many duties as Pep Club sponsor. 21
