C I don't care if you are two minutes older than me, I'm the one who is leading this dance! says Marlene Hellmers to her twin sis- ter Darlene. D Being a firm believer in W0men's Lib, I feel it only fair that we switch places when I get tired, thinks Murray Turner. E With the kind of moral support we'll give the team, they're bound to win, says Shelley Hayes to Peggy Wentz. 'ff' 1 e iafeyt

AA Cheerleaders Have Vim, and Vigor For the first time in the history of Cougar Cheerleaders, our 1972 squad brought back to the school the Spirit Stick from the University of Mississippi Mid-South Cheerleader Institute. To leave camp with the Spirit Stick, cheerleaders must have won it at least three consecutive days and on Competition Day. Our cheer- leaders earned it for winning four out of five days, as well as on Compe- tition Day. dmv'

Support and Spirit Push Cougars to Victories The Kennedy varsity, after getting off to a fast start, slowed up and lost a good number of their remaining games. Kennedy's early victories included impressive wins in the St. John's tournament, in which they placed first. The team, under the direction of Coach John Beattie, had unexpected trouble winning in district play. BV
