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.

The ram, christened Maynard I in honor of Wilson's principal, Maynard Ponko, made his debut in October during an outdoor pep assembly. Making his first game appearance at the West Bremerton football game in Bremerton, Maynard encouraged the school spirit so evident at Wilson this year. After appearing at the classic Turkey Day game, where he was wildly applauded, Maynard returned to his quarters at Carsten's to await calls for other appearances and write letters of encouragement to the student body and the team. These letters appeared in the BANNER and were enthusiastically read by the students. QFVYOUR Someone borrowed the Wilson mascot. 31 A pep parade leads the way to the Turkey Day Game.
