The cheerblock is made up of Freshmen, Sopho- mores, and Juniors. This large group helped spur the Norse team on to many victories. W e would like to express our thanks to this group and say, Carry on for your next great Norse team! Junior Vars ity cheerleaders — top to bottom — Becky Howard, Christie Long, Kitty Lou Chamberlain, and Linda Yentes. Cheerleaders are elected to do the tremendous job of building and maintaining school spirit. Many hours of work are required in planning yells, teach- ing the students routines, organizing pep sessions, working up skits, decorating the trophy case, mak- ing posters, and raising money for uniforms and camp by painting the concession stand to moving chairs in preparation for dances. The cheerleaders this year were in charge of organizing and main- taining consessions for football, and were re- sponsible for a Christmas dance which featured the Evol Loves. Without the help of the students, none of this would be possible. This year, as in the past, the cheering sections were organized only for basket- ball. Students who wished to be a part of the organized section were arranged into three groups — the girls ' section, a senior section, and a boys ' section. As with any new arrangement, we en- countered several difficulties. Despite our troubles, the students came through to back our team in the best football and basketball seasons in the history of our school. 69

MORlWRaD ' S WIR0TV Mike Yates, Randy Taylor, and John Closser, along with members of the opposing team, wait for their chance to get the ball. Our great Norsemen started the basketball sea- son with 6 straight victories. The opponents began getting victories, but we bounced back and played tremendous basketball, ending the season with the best record ever recorded by the Norse team, 14 wins and 7 losses. Playing the season without any varsity regular re- turning from the previous year, the Norse proved to be a well-balanced scoring machine. They broke several s chool records, and we know that the Norse who follow this team will be inspired by their ag- gressivness and determination to succeed. Varsity: Rick Sloniker, Roger Flitcraft, Allen Young, John Krom, John Closser, Jim Stowe, Randy Taylor, Rick White, Kraig Ahlfeld, Mike Yates, Ken Dale, I oger Cole. 70
