A new ll feeling, never experienced before, seems to have permeated the campus. V. C. C. was no longer a fledgling but had taken wingsg her place was not among the lower limbs, but on the highest twig. ln connection with this change of mind, two brand new organizations were added for the purpose of building school spirit. Needless to say, the work done by the recently formed Boys' and Girls' Booster Clubs was worthy of highest acclaim. At the beginning of football season a call was sent out for membership in clubs to be formed for the express purpose of ballooning Ventura's latent school spirit. The response was particularly gratifying. Within a short time both organizations were filled to the desired number and practice periods were held during which school songs and yells were practiced. For the first time in several years, Ventura's athletes were given unified support by the Associated Student Body. These two groups served as a nucleus for our cheering section and their earnest support sup- plied the spark needed to galvanize our Pirate squads into hard-fighting, victory-seeking teams whose every thought was the chalking up of another victory for Ventura Junior College. page forty-eight
