PEP CONVENTION DELEGATES Members of Nebraska high school
pep groups and the university pep leaders discuss the various aspects
of their jobs. Included in the discussions are cheerleading yells, ac
tions, pep meeting stunts, rallies, and generating pep among students.
Plans to Include Annual
Prepster Pep
Something new has been added
to the agenda of the Nebraska
state basketball tournament . . .
the Pep Convention.
Initiated just this past year with
much cooperation from high
school cheerleaders . . . this con
vention will be an annual event.
It is sponsored and performed
by the University of Nebraska
builders.
Not just cheerleaders are in
vited to attend the convention.
All members of high school pep
clubs and organizations are eligi-'
ble to attend.
Through this program, prepsters
meet collegiates, and discuss the
various phases of good pep pro
grams in highschools.
Discussions, mass meetings, dis
plays of new actions and yells
and songs ... the introduction
of Univerity pep leaders all this
is included in the one-day pro
gram. In the discussion groups, mem
bers of Tassels, Corn Cobs, the
Builders, and yell squad talk over
pertinent problems informally
with prepsters. Last year discus
sions led from new actions for
cheerleaders to the problem of
generating more spirit among stu
dents. Class A, B, C and D schools
meet in separate groups, so that
their problems will be on an
equal basis.
The introduction of the leading
campus athletes and coaches is
another highlight of the conven
tion. Many of you may remem

'Calendar Girls
Twelve months of beauty
that's what Builders presented
last spring when they inaugurated
one of the most colorful queen
contests of the year the Calendar
Girls.
The dozen canpus beauties
were revealed in a Student Union
program dressed to represent each
month. They carried symbols of
the holidays, customs or seasons
for which their month was noted.
An audience vote selected "The
Girl of the Year" from the 12
beauties Adele Coryell, "Miss
July," a freshman coed from Lin
coln, and a member of Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority.
