dresses; boys purchase sweaters 00 - GEE - GOSH! OO - OO - GEE- GOSH! Despite the separate prac- tices, the Wednesday and Thursday girls cheerblocks combined with the boys cheerblock to form one huge block of spirit. Cheerblock presidents Debbie Cota and John Keach worked hard to per- fect various techniques. The enthusi- asm with which the girls displayed their flashcards and the boys clashed their canes helped to boost the team ' s spirits. The boys ushered in the Bulldogs with their traditional tunnel of blue and white canes. Because of the abundance of talent, different cheer- block members alternated leading the C-O yell and playing the Bull Dog mascot. Fashion found its way into the cheerblocks this year. The girls proud- ly filed into the gym sporting their blue A-line dresses with blue and white sashes, which were worn either around the waist or draped around the neck. The boys looked very smart too in their dark blue sweaters with the CHS emblem printed on it in white. r-Hi)fck Vite-president of the girls ' cheerblock, Joan Chelton pauses for a second during a game to aid a friend in time of trouble. Predicting an early victory, the members of the girls ' cheerblock display a giant V for a part of their support. The varsity team ap- preciated the girls ' backing because no matter whether the team won or lost, the cheerblock was always behind them. Columbus! Columbus! Columbus!
