Student Council Helps Chart a Clear Course The soulful strut and the slow drag were the order of the night at the Student Council sponsored Christmas dance. In their stocking feet, sequin gowned co-eds celebrated the end of '68 classes by jamming with their turtleneck clad escorts. More serious activities consumed the majority of the Council's time. A very important project was the writing of a new constitution, Responsibility for the Thanksgiving assembly and Awards Day was also assumed by these home group representatives. Although primarily concerned with school problems, the Student Council displayed community concern by netting 576.93 in its United Fund Drive. A new school has unique problems, but the Student Council helped chart a clear course for Austin-East.

The cheerleaders' sponsor, Mrs. Powers, helps captain Sylvia Boyd level a championship game poster. Cheerleaders Gain Ideas at Cookeville Clinic Rustling pompoms, clapping hands, and stomping feet echo throughout the gym as Austin-East cheerleaders lead a pep rally. Booster posters, spirit tags, football programs, and homemade cheers reflect these blue and white clad revellers, interest in bringing higher levels of prestige and pride to the school. In all things, excellence comes only through practice. So it is with the rhythms and motions of Victory,' or t'Two Bits . Bi-weekly sessions, aided by ideas gained in the Tennessee Cheerleading Clinic, push the importance of precision, spirit, and the Austin-East cheerleaders, each one of them a hoarse-throated, pompom-shaking, and bobby-socked mirror of the whole school. Various reactions to the football teamls performance are mirrored in the faces of these enthusiastic supporters. 68
