Hoarse th1'02.tS and tired, worn-out bodies were experienced sometimes twice a week by the senior high cheerleaders at the basketball games during the season. Feelings, especially during the tournament, were written on the faces of these four girls--depending of course on the outcome of the game. Fulton took the county championship from Pettisville in a battle royal, 60-61. The winners lost to PHS twice during the season, but managed an upset in the tournament. The game was interspersed with frequent huddles, resulting in scoldings, urgings, and pleadings. After losing to Fulton, Pettisville whipped the Panthers of Delta to win the honors of Fulton County runners-up and the right to enter sectional competition. ln the first game, the Blackbirds squeaked by Liberty Center, 46-44, and then walloped Ottawa Hills, 80-59, to win sectional honors. Edgerton was drawn in the first game of district play. Edgerton gave the Birds their worst loss of the seasnn--A loss of 14 points. The junior High aim lost its bid for the county championship by losing to the Archbold Junior High team in the county finals. However, with these wins and losses, a new set of trophies was won for PHS. At noon, a rush for food took place in the halls, anywhere, as students ran, crowded, or pushed just to be first. He who succeeded was howled at by the losing students who were put closer to the end. The bus trip to Mansfield proved to be an interesting day to senior choir as they conversed and chatted all the way to and from the city. Suzy Frey was one of several who either thought the trip boring or who were too tired to enjoy it and who slept while riding on the bus. Sleeping was difficult, especially around those who were wide awake and rating to go. The day was spent listening to choirs from other high schools. The big moment came when the PHS choir put in their appearance. Even though they were nervous and excited, the choir sang their way to the top and came home, triumphant with a i at state. A chartered bus for the trip to Mansfield was furnished by the Music Boosters. 29 TOP: Pictured ina typical cafeteria scene are Karen Gearig, Karin Lantz, Kenny Nafziger, Wendell Beck, Diane Seiler, John Baer, Donelda Nofziger, Tom Rychener, Mrs. Mary Taylor, Roseyn Rychener, Nancy Ruetz, Barbara Roth, Suzy Frey, and Mrs. Stella Dis- brow.
