l7fStudent Life Falconelles Win Honors Falconelles! Under the direction of Ms. Cheryl Neal, the Pom-Pon team gave spirit at home games and assem- blies, as well as non-school activities. The twenty-four girl squad often com- bined forces with the marching band, as they did at the WSU Band Day. They marched with the band, and did their familiar routine to the theme of Rockyf' They attended other band days at WSU and at KU, where they choreographed their own routines to be performed at university football games. Six squad members, including La- quita Lugrand, Cindi Skinner, Phyllis Newman and Kathy Pecchioni, all '78, and Arlyn Purcell and Michelle Mur- dock, both '79 took part in the National Cheerleaders Association contest at Baker University. Honors won by the girls were the Award of Excellence, and twenty-one superior ribbons. They were also named the Super Star Squad. Competing against them were 450 girls from twenty-six different squads. Besides the gruelling practice ses- sions and frequent performances, much of the Falconelles' time was used in fund raising projects. In addition to the pom-pon clinic, they sold suckers, T- shirts, and Christmas gifts. What is a school without its mascot? Chuck Carr, ,78, and Jackie Neely, '79, known as Mr. and Ms. Falcon, did their best to lift the spirits of fans at sports events.
