Gail Frandsen Nancy Norton Peggy Dearing Gretchen Stover Merdith Hoblitzel Onward to Victory was the common cry of the Pepper Shakers as they encouraged good sports- manship and spirit at the football and basketball games. Rallies in the gym and in the business district before the game urged the students and business people alike to attend the games. For the home- coming rally, the girls dressed in football uniforms to depict the York football team in a mock game. To promote school spirit, the organization made gay posters to hang in the halls for both football and basketball games. They also decorated the goal posts for every home football game. As the basketball team prepared for state tournament, Pepper Shaker members were busily decorating lockers to show their delight over the District Championship. Leading the girls in yells were these five peppy cheerleaders: Peggy Dearing, Gail Frandsen, Merdith Hablitzel, Nancy Norton, and Gretchen Stover. Pepper Shaker officers this year were Joan Smith, president, Frances Opitz, vice president, Martha Toews, secretary, and Karin Zethren, treas- urer. Miss Alma Stoddard served as adviser to the group.
