Spiritmakets Arouse Enthusiasm I . Neville High School has always been noted for its spirit. Membership in spirit promoting organizations brings both high honors and hard work. Cheerleaders, Tigerettes, and band members have boosted school morale since the school's early years. Cheerleaders put long hours into the organization of pep assemblies, bonfires, dress-up days, and other activities. They attend cheerleading camp each summer and hold clinics. The Tigerettes were established in 1937, but it wasn't until 1946 that, with the help of Coach Bill Ruple and Miss Mae Coker, they became more involved in school activities. Their support is the backbone of Neville's spirit. Band members bolster enthusiasm by playing team songs such as f'Tiger Rag and Loyalty. They also put on colorful half-time shows and represent Neville in community activities. t In recent years, two new Tiger attractions have been added+Shasta, our mascot, and the fabulous Bengal Belles. The first Shasta was purchased in 1964. School children of all ages contributed the money. Since then he has been succeeded by two others. Shasta has become a tradition symbolizing our great Tiger Pride. Since their formation in 1969, the Bengal Belles have won fame statewide. They dance at assemblies, athletic contests and public events. The Bengal Belles represent a tradition of excellence. il 'H' The Bengal Belles march down North l8th rn the annual fair parade.

Excellence in academics has always been an important part of the tradition at Neville. A well-qualified teaching staff help provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for college and work. We are proud of our loyal staff, some of whom have remained at Neville for over 20 years. This special distinction belongs to Mr. Charles Brown, Miss Kathryn Douciere, Mrs. Babs Hagar, Mrs. Dot Johnson, Mr. Larry Loftin, and Miss Jane Whittington. Former graduates Mr. Charles Brown, Mr. Joe Coats, Mrs. Dorothy Kiper, Mrs. Joyce Mehl, Mr. Willie Ragan, Mr. Jimmy Rogers, and Mrs. Sue Ward have returned to join the faculty. We are proud that Neville High School has always had National Merit Scholars. Our students have consistently scored well on college entrance exams. The members of the Neville High School Chapter of the National Honor Society continue to show the scholarship, service, leadership, and char- acter traditional at Neville. Furthermore, every year many students receive academic scholarships to colleges and universities all over the country. As a result of the excellent academic background obtained at Neville, our students perform successfully wherever they go. Mr Rogers gives Ashley Wilkins extra help before school Craig Salter takes out his frustrations on his pen.
