Out of about twenty girls who practiced, only six would become Varsity Cheer- leaders. The cheerleaders were chosen by the Pep Club in the spring to give them the following summer to organize and rehearse yells for the new season. All of the cheerleaders attended a cheerleading clinic at Wesleyan. The pur- pose of this clinic was to acquire new yells and routines. Led by the cheerleaders, the girls in greenl' boosted athletic teams through winning and as well as losing seasons. The Reserve Cheerleaders, elected in the fall, helped the Varsity Cheerleaders create more enthusiasm. Two girls were chosen from each class to be point chairmen, Serving as point chairmen were: Sophomores, Jackie Hunzeker and Shirley Jacobsong Juniors, Sandi LaFollette and Lois Peterson, Seniors, Deanna Lamb and Sherri Lucas. These girls were supposed to check the roll of the Pep Club girls at games and record their points. Points were written on a chart to show the girls how well they were progressing.

Spirit of SHS voiced by Pep Club girls. In addition to electing cheerleaders in the spring, it was also decided to elect Pep Club officers at the same time. This gave the officers more time to organize their handbook for the following year. President, Mary Gergen presided over the meetings and performed other numerous duties. Vice-President, Sandra Severs recorded the points earn- ed. Secretary-treasurer, Lois Brehm handled the correspondence and financial work of the club. The Pep Club had banners made to hang in the auditorium. Mrs. Mary Lou Pickerill made the banners with the names of the various schools in the Ak-Sar-Ben conference. The Pep Club could not have been as much of a success without the able supervision of Mrs. Miller. Through her enthusiasm, new uniforms were acquired and a new point system was adopted, which did much to boost the morale of Pep Club members. Sandra Severs points out one ofthe many posters to other officers Lois Brehm and Mary Gergen. Rocket fans show enthusiasm during district tournament games.
