JEAN BURT President Advisor With service as a watchword and success as an ambition, Varia began its first year as Wilson's Girls' Honor Society. Scheduled first on the year's calendar was the initiation of sixteen new members on October 24. The members were accepted on a basis of grade point average and points earned through services to the school. Continuing acts of service such as ushering at the Dedication and the English Teachers' Convention, serving at the football banquet, and aiding the faculty with the teachers' teas kept the girls active throughout the year. Helping to enliven Yuletide spirit, Varia members made Christmas corsages for the women faculty and put decorative bouquets of fur boughs bedecked with little colored glass balls on the desks of men instructors. ln addition to the many incidental events in which Varia participated, the girls unendingly greeted visitors at the door at home games and promoted the sale of basketball pro- grams. The funds ,supplied by the sale of these programs ioined the proceeds from the red, white, and blue pom pom sale held during football season. One of the more exciting and interesting proiects was the running of a pop and hot dog booth at the Girls' Club Carnival, April lOth. As the year ended, Varia members, identified by a white blouse, red grograin ribbon, navy blue skirt and blue and white checked ierkin, still could be seen going from room to room, adding a touch of fragrance to the building in the form of spring bouquets.

PHIL JONES President Advisor By selling beanies to students, Pep Club members helped to create the enthusiasm and awareness that was evident at Wilson this year. Organized cheering sections and busses to out-of-town games throughout the year also helped to instil school spirit. A week before Thanksgiving, the club sponsored Pep Week. The student body gathered at a Pep Rally to burn in effigy the Lincoln Lynx in a blazing bonfire. Following the bonfire, a dance was held in the cafeteria where the Pep Queen, Susan Breon and her two attendants, Carol Hibbard and Elisa Peterson, were crowned to reign over the remaining Pep Week festivities. As a service to the community, Pep Club members carolled at Christmas time, bringing the Christmas spirit to Wilson's neighbors. At the end of the year Pep Club rendered service to the school by a contest in which a prize was awarded to the student who submitted the song which became the official school song. The Lincoln Lynx is burned in effigy at the Pep Rally.
