DESPITE FREEZING WEATHER and poor stadium seats, the Wahoo pep club remained loyal to the Warrior football team. Pep Club Achieved Goals For Year Pep Club girls have gone all out this year in an attempt to back the athletic department and to boost school spirit. The girls were busy decorating the halls with original signs and planning skits, besides attending the games. The annual Homecoming dance and downtown parade were organized by the pep club. Girls found something to do every night of this festival week. Bach girl was assigned a Warrior to whom she gave a traditional garter, a sign, booster buttons, and a spirit box. The winter season was particularly busy with both wrestling and basketball games. The girls often attended four events a week. Even when there weren't any games or matches there was always something to do. Between cheer-leading tryouts and preparing for sports banquet there was never a dull moment. HEAD SPONSOR. MRS. Rhonda Carritt conducted the mass meetings. PEP CLUB COUNCIL worked long hours to keep the organization running smoothly.
