active members
PHCTC: KEL HILLQCGHBI
By SHARON MITCHELL
On April 7 at 1:00
the Bison Pep Club had
its monthly meeting.
The purpose of this
club is to help promote
awareness and increase
student attendance at
school athletic events.
It also helped in
the planning of events
at Spring Fling '93.
Advisers for the Pep
Club are David Deakle,
instructor in the
Business Department,
and Gina Bowers,
counselor in Student
Services.
Having merely 5
students attending out
of over 70 student
members has put the
goals of this club at a
standstill, according
to President Ricky
Offield who feels that
if people continue to
miss these meetings and
remain uninvolved, then
the club is headed for
trouble.
Other officers
include Vice-President,
Nicole Hill; Secretary,
Julie Honeycutt;
Treasurer, Ronald Lane;
and Public Relations
Officer, Jason Gerhart.
