Hartford City cheerleaders, Beth Anderson, Sharon Wesner, Kam Monfort, Claudia Wagner, and Sheri Griffey, entertain Portland cheerleaders. The familiar 'ftwo bits, four bits', reached deafening tones as we backed our Dales at home and out-of-town games. Sporting black and yellow reversible jackets, our Pep Club went through mitten motions and spelled out B-A-S-K-E-T to enliven team spirit and win praise from delighted spectators. Highlights ,of activity periods were those wacky pep sessions where anything could hap- pen and usually did. Imagine 22 feminine gridironers dashing about the gym floor after one elusive pigskin ball. No matter who won, the student body was in semi-hysterics. Our energetic cheerleaders competently managed both pep sessions and games with charm and enthusiasm. Rousing new yells such as 'tWe,ve got the pepw added an extra zip and made our cheer bloc one of the best. Nancy Cole, Dixie Elliott, and Jill Trauring add new motions to the Junior High cheer for victory. Jane Gause, Claudia Hudson, and Suzanne Kline Pup cheerleaders, rehearse for an approaching game Their pep usually rubs off on the entire crowd. l .

Gridiron Fans One evening late last September the Airedales took the field to play a highly regarded Mississinewa team favored by most to hand the Airdales a good beating. Slightly over two hours later, the hysteri- cal Hartford City Airedale fans filled the playing field to congratulate their spirited squad for a 12-6 win and the return of victory to the Dale gridiron after three long years of hunger. In all, the 1962 season proved to be a very successful one with some juniors and sophomores showing excellent promise for next year's squad. Two juniors, Steve Baker and Mike Richardson led the team in total yards gained with each boy gaining slightly over 200 yards. Richardson also led the gold and black in pass receptions, catching five tosses for a total of 89 yards. Sophomore Charles Lawson took over like a pro from Mike Mills when the redheaded senior quarterback was forced to the sidelines. Two seniors received conference honors when tackle Bob Montgomery was named to the second team and Larry Schmidt also a tackle, received the tackling trophy. Twelve varsity letters were awarded by coach Dave Flowers with four seniors receiv- ing the coveted jackets and 16 underclass- men receiving minor letters for their efforts. Although this year's edition of the Aire- dale team didn't set any scoreboards on fire, the team's spirit and fight changed the school's and the town's outlook upon football. The crowd turnout, adults as well as students, was the largest in recent history. Our varsity squad includes 25-Jack Ford, 49-Pat Collins, 24-Harry Alfrey, 67-Larry Schmidt, 21-Bob Montgomery, 84-Ed Goodin, 35-Pat Smith, 44-Chuck Lawson, 33-Jon Mills, 58-John Scott, 56-J. B, Orendorff, 47-Bob Stoner, 73-Glenn Wilcoxin, 82- John Bonham, 68-Paul Smith, 36-Phil Michael, 46-Bob Reese, 42-Alan Goldberg, 54-Jack Edgeman, 26-Dennis Harden, 77-Jim Tucker, 55-Jerry Spiedel, 45-Jerry Jones, 64-Mike Smith, 50-Stuart Mills, 40-David Clamme, 11-Steve Baker, and 28-Mike Richardson. They pose like professionals. Swift Jerry Jones and Mike Mills come in to nab that runner as other teammates move in for the finishing tackle against a mighty foe. Congratulations, Buddy, Larry Schmidt says to Bob Montgomery after they heard Bob made second C.I.C. team and Larry honorable mention. -M til..
