33 Taylor 41 41 Yorktown 51 42 Westfield 52 TO the surprise of many people, Bruce Blomberg, a new addition to the FHS coaching staff, put together one of the best freshman team records in a long time. LEAD by the sharpshoot- ing of Mark Swan and the rebounding of Eugene Boswell and Kenny Dol- lar, the team compiled a 9-6 record. This in- cluded a second place finish in White River Conference, losing to Yorktown by one point in an overtime game which decided the finish in WRC play. THE hardest thing the new coach said he had to do with the players was to turn them into team players instead of several one-man teams.

RESERVE B-TEAM BLUNDERS, FROSH FIZZLE AND then there came the reserve team! The word unlucky that could have applied to the varsity season, doesn’t even begin to describe what the B- Team experienced. THE vitally needed team- work just didn't show through. Ability was there, but teamwork? Trying to run a pattern offense, which requires teamwork, didn't help much. THE team also experi- enced many mental let- downs. Being ahead at halftime and then losing by ten points just does something to a ballclub. It can put a team down for a night, and some- times for a whole season.

Cheerleaders MORE THAN JUST FUN! AFTER being chosen at the end of 1972-72 school year, the Varsity and reserve cheerleaders went right to work. In July the varsity girls attended cheerleading camp at Vincennes Uni- versity, where they learned many new ideas for yells and different ways to do them. In competition with other squads the FHS cheer- leaders received four second place ribbons and one third place. Be- sides going to cheerlead- ing camp, the varsity and reserve girls prac- ticed nearly every day during the summer. WITH the beginning of school in the fall, came time for the freshmen tc vote for three freshmen cheerleaders. The cho- sen girls were Dawn Pike, Sharon Lamb and Gayle Walter. After their election, these girls joined the reserve and varsity cheerleaders in practicing after schoo BEING a cheerleader is more than just having a lot of fun and meeting other cheerleaders. Be- ing a cheerleader is working hard and getting more than your share of sore muscles. A: B-TEAM ROW 1. Melody Johnson. ROW 2- Nikki Ma- honey, Becky Roland. ROW 3- Sue Neese.
