Unity played a major role in the success ofthe '76-77 Pep Squad. Taking trophies and awards at summer camp was just one of the rewards of their togetherness. The zany costumes, strenous exercises and learning of fancy movements to new cheers filled their schedule at the Squaw Valley National Cheerleaders Association camp. Each individual group brought home trophies, and together they won two spirit sticks. For most ofthe Pep Squad members the most exciting event of the year was performing at the San Francisco 49ers game. The Pep Squad, along with cheerleaders from other areas, were taught two new cheers which they performed at half time. The MHS Pep Squad was the only squad invited from this area. To help pay for their expenses throughout the year, the Pep Squad sold scrumptious cookies, sponsored two dances, and scrubbed automobiles in the Wards parking lot. These activities went along with the selling of ribbons to entice the student body spirit. New founded unity in the '76-77 Pep Squad helped build the spirit of the group and of the student body at rallies and games. ext 1. il 1 l 4163 pep squad I. 3-r--v-lit.. ,,, L i n 6 ml we ,.,, ,gf S UW I' A v ,' ' f i.s,....

QRISIS Capping international disorder and fear, Ugandan President ldi Amin imposed a ban on American departure from Uganda two days after Amin charged the United States, Britain, and Israel with planning to drop paratroops into Uganda in support of a plot to overthrow the governments. President Carter received a telegram from Amin demanding that the United States take care of its own human rights problem before accusing Uganda. Ugandan radio quoted Amin as saying the US should ask the United Nations to investigate its own crimes instead of Ugandan matters. These range from racial discrimination and the bombing of Vietnam to the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, the dropping of atomic weapons in Japan, and the killings of world leaders by the Central Intelligence Agency, Amin said. Nuclear powered US aircraft carrier Enterprise cruised off East Africa at times, but Pentagon officials said no orders for precautionary military moves were issued. Amin lifted the ban the following Monday, March l, after postponing for a second time a meeting to which he had summoned all US citizens living in his East African country. Amin said Americans were free to go anywhere they wish, such as going for holidays or going about their normal business, be it inside or outside Uganda, Radio Uganda reported. It was later reported that Amin was keen to improve good relations with the United States. President Carter responded by sending a message to Amin thanking him for his assurance that US citizens in Uganda were not in danger. KW?
