Cheerleaders boost spirit' ,fm Miss Jeanette Sutton is the sponsor of the cheerleaders. Supporting the athletic teams and enthusiastically lead- ing the student body were the varsity, B-team, and freshman cheerleaders. These girls boosted the spirit at every pep rally and sports event. As a project, cheer- leaders sold spirit tags. The varsity cheerleaders were selected last spring in a student body election. The girls aspiring to be cheer- leaders were required to try out before judges. The girls then selected were placed on the list to be voted on by their fellow students. During the summer the varsity and two B-team cheer- leaders went to the National Cheerleading Camp. Each night the groups presented two cheers in competition. The Varsity cheerleaders won four first place ribbons and one second place ribbon in this competition. On the final night of the camp, the Highlander varsity squad was awarded the outstanding large group trophy and the Coca- Cola award for the group with the best technique. The B-team cheerleaders won six ribbons in their competi- tion. The freshman cheerleaders were selected by a panel of judges at the beginning of the school year. Ten fresh- man girls were selected on the ability to lead cheers. The Varsity cheerleaders are.: first rowg Debbie Garcia, Lora Crewsg second row, Cynthia Means, Kylene Dove Cheadh, Shirley Tarangg third row Carolyn Roney, and Diane Jones.

Alack and Alas! Chivalry is not dead. 1 H Diane Guajardo solicits votes for Twirp King from Jim Hamilton Wirp Week revives chivalry Boys wearing lipstick and girls sporting helmets were just two of the sights seen during Twirp Week each year. This year the girls had two days to torture the boys while the boys had three days to seek their revenge. In order to have fun the boys as well as the girls bought twirp privileges from the Student Council members. An election during the week was held, in which a vote for the person's favorite was one penny. The candiates in- cluded: Dewey Gough, Terry Tiller, Gus Perez, and Ron McNaughton. Chosen from these was Gus Perez, who is a member of the varsity band, concert band, and a D.J. for a local radio station. Gus was honored Friday night at the Twrip Dance at which the Truth played. Girls invited the boys to the dance and paid their admission. This year's Twirp week has proved to be memorable. 28 Tana Alexander acts as a slave for fellow Highlanders 'rin :?'5??l57Q 'sm '
