Sunny cheerleaders support teams, S-C-O-R-lil Bouncing with energy, the varsity cheerleaders inspired the crowd and team to a winning season. Suzie Young, captain, Abby Griffith, Virginia de Bruyn Kops, Linda Lozar, joy Ratliff, and Ann Ryder, substitute, were choesn in April, 1958, by a committee of presidents of senior high classes and clubs, the band director, coaches, captains, and the principal. Keeping busy the girls organized all pep assemblies, wrote pep notes to the team before games, originated the Pep-O-Gram and put on a skit, The Perils of a Cheerleader . At the end of football and basketball seasons, the cheerleaders presented senior members with honorary badges and scrolls. Before the Eaton football game they even sent the captain a telegram wishing the team good luck. Honored at the football banquet in November, the girls were awarded letters. Later in the year, senior cheerleaders-'Suzie Young and Abby Griffith4were presented with silver megaphone charms by the senior Hi-Y's while the Pep Band serenaded them. l'Il'.ic.IOI',S l',-IR.S1'I'l' t,lIliIiRl.liflIJIiRS. 1.111114 1.021111 511116 Yuung. captaffz.
