3 me .WK v. Q.. if aseot, ,I Yell 'Get It On' You probably never gave much of a thought to those tive girls in the red sweaters and skirts who pleaded with you to yell at those pep assemblies. They were just another part of the show . But those girls, the JV yell leaders, were just as im- portant in promoting Baron spirit as anyone else assigned the job. Head JV yell leader, Sharon Murphy, led her girls in cheering the JV teams at their hard-fought games. Gften times she and Jan Peek, Jan Kato, Pauline Khun, and Irene Bena- videz were the only spectators. Sometimes it seemed that they were only yelling to themselves. But these girls performed an invaluable service to the student body and to the fighting teams. Sometimes it rained and it got awfully cold in the afternoons, but it was all a part of the game. Sometimes they got a sore throat, but still the girls yelled on. Those girls possessed true spirit. They were the basis of Fountain Valley strength. Their cheerful signs around the campus brightened the days of many students, particularly the JV athletes who knew that these girls were always behind them, no matter the outcome of their games.

Drill Team Steps Brightly polished boots, red, blue, and gold uniforms, and flashing smiles char- acterized Fountain Valley's Baronettes Drill Team. The 54 girls represented their school in numerous parades and made special appearances at pep assemblies. Their high-stepping feet never failed to keep time with the drums as the Baron- ettes marched onto the field during half-time performances at Varsity football games. One of their most spectacular precision routines was presented to the Homecoming crowd November 14. In keeping with the theme, f'Golden Revue , the girls dressed authentically, complete with cameos and garters, and thrilled the audience with the can-can. Under the direction of Captains Janie Bosanko, Jan Curtis, Joy Dove, and Cindy Leeds, the Drill Team marched to first place ratings in both the Westchester and Santa Ana parades and received a third place trophy for their participation in the Westminster parade. The girls displayed poise, preci- sion, skill, and sportsmanship which gained them these honors. Their abilities did not go unnoticed, as the band director at Orange Coast College asked the girls' advisor, Miss Carol Strausburg, if they would be willing to perform for the schoolts Homecoming half-time ceremonies. Of course the girls were more than willing and, along with the band, made their appearance. Later in the year, Cindy Leeds was chosen by the team to represent Fountain Valley High School in the Miss Drill Team USA Pageant. She and a group of girls making up a competitive team displayed their talents before a panel of judges and brought home many awards to the school. TOP ROW: B. Pull, B. Rose, C. Weiler, J. Weiler, C.
