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.

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.

FANS STIR SPIRIT Frankton fans partici- pated in a variety of ac- tivities in showing their spirit, enthusiasm, and loyalty in the 1972-73 school year. They yelled and screamed at foot- ball and basketball games, and at wrestling and track meets, urging their teams on to hope- ful victory. Spirit was shown by many from parents and graduates right down to. the mem- bers of pep club, band and the student body. Without the support of Frankton fans, school spirit would not exist. A: Denise Harrison offers Debbie Whitaker a drink from her bottle as Brenda Morgan wishes she could have some. Kiddie Day was a part of sectional week in which many students showed spirit by dress- ing up each day. B: Even teachers get involved in sports action as Mrs. Bivens takes time out from selling the Beak 'n' Eye to watch the game. C: The scorekeepcrs and timers keep a solid watch on the playing floor as split second timing and accurate records are vital to die game. D: Debbie Vice, a 1972 grad- uate of FHS, is still backing the Eagles. Many former stu- dents return to attend school activities. E: With wide- eyed (and wide-mouthed) enthusiasm the FHS pep club cheers the team on through thick and thin. F: An exciting game leads to jumping cheer- leaders and screaming fans.
