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.

'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.

You're with your best gal and it's only 10 o'clock and thereys literally nowhere to go. Betty Lou has just informed you that she's sick and tired of dragging Peoria and that she's in the mood to dance. But where in the world can you go dancing on a night like to- night? Then . . . FLASH!!! You remember that there's supposed to be a mixer at school and you decide to give it a chance. It seems that more and more people 'tdecided to give mixers a chance!! this year because at- tendance was really up. For the mere price of 756 per person students could spend from 11!2 to 3 hours talking with friends or dancing to music varying from live bands like, the ever popular, Dandy and the Grown-ups or The House Band, to records being announced by a local D.I. Door prizes also varied from S25 worth of free gas to several free records that were awarded to the best dancers. We seemed to have reverted to the days of, Lets go do the Hop, and Twisting the Night Away. The music, whether old or new, fast or slow, was good and loud. The dancers were all over and enjoying themselves and the field- house, as always, was hot, hot, HOT! The schedule is 1-1-4-5-6. Oh, boy! An assembly! Who cares what it's about, just as long as you float two hours, right? Well, there are four cer- tain people here at Edison who care greatly about assemblies. They happen to be Miss Bar- bara Burket and her assembly planners: Stephani Seaman, Donna Wheeler and jeff Fon- taine.

Now we have a chance to perform what we want to see done in both the Talent As- sembly and the Original Works Assembly. Sure, there are still holiday assemblies, informa- tive assemblies and various pep rallies. But, why not? Who in the world would have wanted to miss Jerry Daman as he pranced around as Bruce E.
