White Rain Boots and a Plastic Bag 1 can't breathe, gasped Wilma Warhawk. Due to a Santa-Ana condition during the first football game of the season, Sharon Van Rickley, alias Wilma , had alot of trouble keeping her head on. However, the weather changed drastically by the end of C.I.F. play- offs. Rain and hail forced the feathery Warhawk to resort to white rain boots and a plastic bag over her enlarged head. The blue and grey mascot kept her spirits up all year. Her yellow bird legs were often seen strutting around campus before games, during pep-rallies and at all types of sports. Sharon was always quite perky and kept the spirit at Madison flying. 1 FRONT ROW: Diane Cruger, Ca«hy Kladouras, Desire Haacke, Eileen Lorenz, Cathy Scott; SECOND ROW: Betsy Pince, Sheryl Trumper, Kim Vinzant 2 Betsy, Desire, Cathy, Eileen and Sheryl are giggling about their favorite football player at half time. 3 Sharon Van Rickley, alias Wilma Warhawk, is watching the birds at Balboa Park. 4 Wilma and last year's mascot, Vickie Knox, team up for the Homecoming game against University. 5 Wilma Warhawk, in her usual bird stance, is leading a cheer against Patrick Henry.

Wake up, You're Going to Breakfast i W here's the alarm-clock? All I heard was get out of bed commented one of the J.V. cheerleaders. Clad only in nightgowns and robes, the eight J.V. were kid- napped on Friday morning by the Varsity squad and taken to breakfast at Sambo's. There they munched out on hot pancakes smothered in syrup, eggs and crisp brown bacon. The following week the Junior Varsity cheerleaders partici- pated in a competition at San Diego State College. This was the first time the Madison J.V. had competed for an award. However, they did not place. Since the entire Junior Varsity squad graduated from Hale Junior High, there were no problems involved in getting to know each other. The only big problem was deciding on a uniform that the J.V. and Varsity squad could agree on, stated head cheerleader, Betsy Pince. It was traditional for the squad to make their uniform top and skirt, wear white bobby socks and blue tennis shoes. However, this year they were allowed to buy their blue T-shirts and pick a different style of shoe, a blue-suede earth shoe ... how's that for tradition? 142 JV Cheerleaders

The Pep Band is always on hand when needed to help cheer the team on, lead the Alma Mater, enter- tain during halftime or play at pep rallies. But does the Pep Band get any recognition? In the past, no, band member Karen Fitzgerald said, but this year people come up to compliment us or request songs.
