Vetrrit Prmfer Boyr of ez Letter Flock Together The varsity club is an organization which con- sists of all those athletes who have earned a letter in any of the numerous varsity sports at Stevenson. All letter winners are eligible, but membership in the organization is not compulsory. The club serves at the various school functions by running the coat checks and running the concession stand at several of the league games. The money taken in at these various activities goes to the special fund for a worthy cause at the end of the year. The club meet- ings were held after school and proved to be a forum for lively discussion among thc members. Such dis- cussion was beneficial in that many subjects which would not normally be under discussion in the club surfaced, and made the club an active organization. Membership in the club is an honor as only the very able fulfill the first requirement: having a letter. 'fffwfwavat :ta t .Am ,:V. 7.7 an . ,gf ww. ' , , . i 'W W f , W W ft x M . V ' .,,. Air.

Cheerleaalerfrj Enthusiasm The all-sophomore junior Varsity cheering sauarl eonsistecl of tcloclzwise from hottomj: Captain Dehlaie ilfeilfanaway, 'lurly Nagar, Janice Hopkins, Nancy Thonzas, Barl: Kinney, Cheryl Wheele1', Denise Rolla, anal co-captain Gail Sauntlers. An aura of competition sur- rounds thc cheerleaders from their first tryout to their last game, and a love of it is essential to their success. Their job is to encourage competition, and competition in- sures that only the most qualified girls will be chosen. 'Being qualihedn actually means being versatile. A cheerleader should be able to shout for over two hours without any perceptible effects, be an accomplished acro- bat, look equally composed on a freezing football field and in a hot gym, and get as much volume out of two dozen kids at an away game as she does when the stands are packed. And, since cheering We wanna go that wayl' could he embarrassing if they pointed in the wrong direction, the girls, along with everything else, must be sports experts. l Aliancloning rivalries aluring the halftime, the junior Varsity Cheerleaders Concealing aching muscles with a smile, Nancy Thomas fraternize with their Pontiac Northern counterparts.
