The Pep Club had recently conducted a fairly successful white shirt drive. Many of the girls took home several shirts and ironed them so that there would be enough shirts to keep everybody at the game in white. In Mrs. Cardin's room, an ironing board was set up so that all the shirts could be finished before the game.
