With ribbon bedecked little sisters obediently at their feet Pep Club girls explain and discuss the coming initiation. Club initiates Roxann Boston, Dana Bussell. Peg Evans and Barbara Parker wonder what members Debbie Hall, Janet Hutchens and Lynn Phillips are planning. Initiation was conducted with the usual baby bottles, air raids and screams for upperclassmen. Rallyers Find Beginning is Cheer, Cheer is Just Beginning During a few moments rest Jeanne McCall and Marilyn Duell concentrate on Kathy Roby reloading her camera, hoping pictures will be flattering. At the Pep Club tea Junior Jackie Janousek crowns” her little sister Roxann Boston with her new hat. Sheri Frantz’s face lights up as she thinks of the surprises ahead for initiates Linda Reeder and Laura Walter. The weekend that followed proved to be all that was expected. Meadow Gold Dairy 11

Enthusiastic Spirit Sparks Friendships Enthusiasm, friendship and organization generated Pep Club spirit to carry members through another year of chants and cheers. Victories meant joy while tears were shed when Bobcats met defeat but extreme loyalty to Estes players was evident wherever pep girls traveled. A sock-it-to-me skit, a portrayal of a Bonnie and Clyde type of sportsmanship, new cheerleader routines and confident talks by coaches made pep assemblies rousing. A small “slam ’em” poster inside lockers, crepe paper wound around staircase rails or framing the bobcat in the trophy case and the excitement of spirit week expressed the drive of Bobcat boosters. Under the glow of a Homecoming bonfire, amid the confusion of pom-poms and megaphones or curled up on a bus to an away-game, pepsters expressed the unity of caring. Townspeople, including many parents of players and younger students looking forward to their own high school years, share in the excitement and anxieties of Bobcat triumphs and defeats. Halftime is only a few seconds from being over, enough time for Pep Club girls to finish the clap chant led by Eva Booth-royd and Bonnie Petrocine. Pep assemblies sparked enthusiasm and spirit in Linda Reeder as they did in all: faculty, players and members of the student body. During a game the concern of Marlene Gibson and Laura Walter is intense as the basketball sails for the hoop. 10

Santa's “E” Club helpers Ernie Petrocine, Bruce Slapper, Bart Dan-nets and Gary Gilliland aid in passing out goodies to children after the grade school program. Miss Merry Christmas Gayle Clifton, happy as symbol of the festive season, was crowned by Saint Nick at the annual holiday ball. Egg cartons, spray paint, Christmas balls, sequins and glitter went into construction of decorations hung in the student center by John Hutchens while Jonlyn VerStraeten offers aid. Multi-Colored Fantasy Charms Yule Revelers Christmas brought traditional greetings and customs. As gay celebrations were planned and colorful decorations hung, many felt the wonder and glow of the holiday spirit, almost forgotten or dulled through a long year. The season’s joy was expressed in giving, caroling, sharing, acting. Even as they clung to the meaning of Christmas, students reached out to welcome the challenge of a new year. Holiday glow is reflected in Cyndie Tallman’s face as she drapes tinsel on the flocked tree. Blue and silver ornaments were added for a complete effect. 12
