'fveruhndu listen, Get Hour Feet HicI4in', D0 the funku Chicken' Spirit was obviously on the incline during the 1973-74 sports seasons, and the Varsity Cheerleaders had the opportu- nity to lead more supporters in chants and cheers for the Mighty Eagles. Captain Marsha Evans was in charge of the squad, consisting of Donna Peyton, Pam Treece, Lisa Barry, Connie Rausch, Iulie Altman, Susan Daniel, Lo- weta Waterdown and Lorrie Reed. The girls went to a summer clinic at O.U. for the first week in Iuly to consis- tently bring back a spirit stick every day and to receive a nomination for the Coca Cola award. These girls had an ac- tive role this year because spirit was being put into mo- tion again. The girls were applauded for acting as a team for the first time in years. The girls noticed the crowds' par- ticipation and welcomed it whole heartedly. The cheer- leaders were returned to the days when bobby sox, pony- tails and pon poms were in and they sincerely supported the Mighty Edison Eagles. The crowds in turn could plainly see this in the girls as Marsha Evans belted out the chants, Connie Rausch turned bright red after cheering so loud, and the whole squad actually rocked out to 'jesus Christ Superstar. 6 3.

B-Squad Smiles l And here they are wearing huge smiles and revised ver- sions ofthe A-squad uniformsg our very own B-bopping B- squad: Linda Allen, captain, jill Price, co-captain, Deena Celtz, Debbie Rucks, Iulie Stone and Terri Stubbs. After being chosen at tryouts in April of 1973, these six girls had to smilingly make it through summer clinic, Pep Club, assemblies, football players yelling, Come on down . . .U and, of course, the games and meets, during the third quarter at all A-squad football games, and at several Pep Club meetings. Then they were finally divided up and let hrouqh Season loose to cheer along side the A- squad for basketball, swim- ming, and wrestling. B-squaders were subject to many lessons, just a few of which are listed: It takes soph- omores a while to figure out that VICTORY is the sopho- more battle-cry too. The only kids that show up at B-meets are the B-squad cheerleaders and a few of the players' girlfriends. A-squad cheer- leaders are always right, and last, but not least, everyone who attends football games leaves third quarter to go get a Coke. lSorry girls, but the life of a B-bopper isn't easyll 20 Q B-Squad Cheerleaders 3 1.
