The Homecoming Dance was one of the high- lights of the year for the pep club. The night before the game an evening rally and bonfire was held. After the game with Plattsmouth everyone enjoyed a dance with the theme Dreamland . Although many girls practice with the hope of becoming a varsity cheerleader only six can be chosen. These cheerleaders are chosen in the spring of the year to give them time to organize and re- hearse yells for the following season. Each cheerleader attended a clinic at Wesleyan University. The purpose of this clinic was to enable these girls to acquire new yells and routines. The Reserve Cheerleaders elected in the fall help the Varsity Cheerleaders create more enthusiasm. E

The profits will be used to help build a new concession stand for the new football field. In the spring of the year the pep club officers were elected so they could prepare the handbook for the following year. President Lois Brehm presided over the meeting and performed various duties. Vice President Dee Fentimen recorded the points earned, Secretary and Treasurer Sue Rippe handled the financial correspondence and work of the pep club. The pep club sponsor, Mrs. Knoll brought out new ideas for the pep club and made it a great success.
