High School Pep Club
Organized To Put Zip
Into Basketball Games
The Pep Club, a newly formed
thigh school organization, took
shape a few weeks ago when 42
enthusiastic students held an or
ganizational meeting at which
Ray Arnold was elected presi
dent and Clarice Hardy vice
president and secretary-treasurer.
The club’s main objectives are
to create a rousing school spirit
and to make the coming winter’s
basketball games a thrill for the
spectators.
Plans are being made for or
ganized cheering sections, floor
shows and skits during half-time
periods, and a performing mascot.
Cheerleader tryouts were held
last Friday and Clarice Hardy,
Carolyn Johnson, Betty Woodcock
and Susan Saito were chosen as
regulars with Larri Lowe as al
ternate.
Thanksgiving Food Sale
Planned by Home Arts
The Home Arts Club met at
the home of its president, Mrs.
Maurice Kelliher last evening,
and made plans for the annual
Thanksgiving Food Sale, the pro
ceeds from which will be used for
Hot Lunch tickets for needy
children.
A survey made by the club
showed that about 50 children at
tending school should have the nu
tritional benefit of the hot
lunches; children whose families
would probably be unable to pro
vide them the necessary funds for
the three-month period during
which time the lunches are
served. All money raised from the
food sale will help provide these
children with the tickets, which
are 40 cents per meal.
This active civic organization
appointed members to attend
the most important talks and
discussions during the League of
Alaskan Cities meetings, and to
- port at the next meeting.
The club members all assisted,
following the meeting, on the
typing of revised lists of blood
donors for the MMM Hospital
T alking Blood Bank.
At the next meeting, which will
be the Christmas meeting, all
members will bring wrapped
Christmas gifts for a designated
needy child.
