FRONT ROW: Cindy Babyak, Stephanie Dillard, Kim Farber, Terrie Reinl- heimer, MIDDLE ROW: Nancy Edwards, Sheila Evert, Joann Bechtel, BACK ROW: Debbie Schliecher. This year Kim Farber and Debra Schleicher led the funky-soul beat of new chants and up- to-date cheers. A variety of unusual skits added zest to our pep rallies. Coach Snell was honored and perhaps graciously embarras- sed In a This is Your Life, routine. The Time Machine amused the student body as Kim Farber (right) shows the first cave-like cheer- leader. Above both squads try to get it together at a basketball game with smile, volume, kicks and enthusiasm. Joann Bechtel (left) shows what spirit the squad has at pep rallies. Always keeping their smiles and enthusiasm, they kept spirit alive through the victories and defeats. Upon entering competition the girls created a dynamite one-minute cheer packed with gymnastics as well as partner stunts. Determination, spirit and drive is the motto of this group of girls. 26

apartment. Contrary to what you may have imagined Alan gets married and Buddy turns playboy . Larry Williams the cast Rick Eck- hart the stage crew, and make-up crew did a truly magnificent job in presenting our version of COME BLOW YOUR HORN. Putting the play together took many long hours practicing almost everynight for at least two hours. The cooperation and enthusiasm were fantas- tic and the effort was very rewarding for everyone. The actors did not have much of a problem staying in character since all of them were very well suited to their oarts. They did have a problem with the timing of Act III until the last night of practice but they finally perfected it. Then on the last night of the perform- ance fate threw a curve at them. The back door fell off the hinges and the stage crew had to hold it up during the whole act. This could have been a big disaster but because the actors knew their parts, they kept cool and it turned out to be the highlight of the perform- ance, leaving the audience in stitches. There were many funny incidents: the time Annette was looking for a pencil and fell behind the counter, the time Tom had a real good drink, and the time Scott said to Sally, Sure I see other guys, butl'm only human! Sally's pronunciation of tabu and picture , Tom's Japanese Kabuki dancers , Scott's no I don't , Annette's nau- seous , Kathy's liquoor , and Dennis' Bum! amused director Larry Wil- liams. Last, but not least, was Michele's one liner, I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop in and say hello , the final line of the play. It may be true that the performances of COME BLOW YOUR HORN are over for the Senior Class of Slatington High School, but you can be sure that these memories will linger in the hearts of those who participated in the presenta- tion of this successful play. 1. Why should I kid about a thing like that? 2. Connie gives Alan an inquisitive look about the future. 3. But Mom, I'm 33-years-old! A. The new Connie enters with a leap! 5. Hi, I'm Peggy Evans. You must be Mr. Manheim. 6. The backstage crew breaks for the pause that refreshes. Actions Senior Play 25

LEFT TO RIGHT: Carol Beil Donna Sommer, Shelly Frantz, Cindy Miller, Rhonda Davies, Jenny Farber, Tammy Herzog, Stephanie Bishop, May Bechtel. Co Captains Rhonda Davies and Jenny Farber (shown below) groomed a relativly inexperi- enced group of mostly freshman into a bright spirited, peppy, cheering squad. Their ex- treme enthusiasm sparked a first place trophy and spirit award at a prestigious cheering camp. High jumping, clever routines and bright smiles have appealed to our student body at pep rallies and games as these girls achieved a togetherness. Carol Beil (left) and Shelly Frantz (right) exhibit spirited maneuvers as they broadcast Bulldogs Bite is Dynamite, at a football pep rally. Our J.V.'s are looking forward to a successful competition in Doylestown, in March. These girls are preparing cheers for different cate- gories. With that experience behind them, our J.V. squad will be out there leading cheers and showing you what spirit is all about. Actions Cheerleaders 27
