LAUDERDALE Sandy Aanes Ann Fleming Vicki Todd Marsha Kingsley Noel Doepke Sharon Coons—Captain Judy Colby Nedra Schultz Carol Zimmer—Co-captain J.V. and Varsity squads join in some cheers before the start of the Snake dance. Let's go, Flying L's, let's go! is the familiar cry of the cheerleaders. The Var- sity squad for this year is made up of nine junior and senior girls, who lead the fans, as they root the Flying L's onward to vic- tory. Sharon Coons and Carol Zimmer head the body of girls as captain and co-captain respectively, for the 1958-59 season. A high jump and a low voice are the trademark of the girls. They must attain a B average to be eligible for the squad. The Varsity is chosen in the spring for their ability, grades, and character. Hope- fuls practice every day for four weeks, to learn the basic fifteen cheers. They are judged while cheering first in groups and then individually. The finalists are chosen by the faculty. The Junior Varsity squad is composed of five sophomores chosen each August. Jun- ior Varsity cheerleaders head the moral support of all the JV teams. Leading the J.V.'s this year are Pat Zimmerman as captain and, Kathy Fairfield as co-captain. Every day the girls can be found prac- ticing in the gym to obtain the precision timing that is so necessary in cheerleading. With the able help of Miss Margaret Als- ton the Flying L cheering group has be- come one of the finest in the state. Even e boating downpour doesn't discourage Flying L Spirit Larry Thibaut.
