r The cheerleaders did much to organize the cheerblock and teach them cheers. Pictured are Laurie Balden and Karla Boxberger leading Panthers in uell-knoun chants. A typical sight at basketball halftimes was cheerblock doing one of its famous mitten routines to the tune of the band. 11

This was the climax of an active cheerblock season. As fun projects, the girls went to an away game at Northrop and took a fan bus all the way to Marion for that away event. As a money-making project, cheer block members sold T-shirts. These shirts were unique in appear- ance, sporting a large, lovable-look- ing panther in the center. They were big sellers around Snider and turned out to be very profitable. This sur- plus money was used to cover trans- portation and ticket expenses for the away games cheerblock attended. Cheerblock did many songs, cheers and chants that became very popular. The hand jives were also quite a spectacle. They consisted of the girls flashing their half-gold and half-black mittens in endless pat- terns, rhythms and contortions. The outstanding officers were Paula Parmeter, president; Roxanne Summers, vice-president; Linda Klug, secretary; Joyce Mason, treas- urer; Laura Siebold, sergeant-at- arms. Equally outstanding sponsors were Mrs. Connie Kinney and Mrs. Eleanor Shaw. 122

Panther pep spread by spirited cheerleaders During the climax of the basket- ball season — the sectionals and reg- ionals — six spirited Panthers led other students in yells at the tension- packed Coliseum. These varsity cheer- leaders were Laurie Baiden, Karla Boxberger, Beth Brenizer, Annette Irby, Laurie Maxfield, and Patti Parks. Their sponsors were Miss Kathy Bos- se and Mrs. Sue Dolson. The varsity cheerleaders were chosen on the basis of the school song, two cheers, four jumps, and a person- al interview with Mr. Richard Cleven- ger. They attended Smith-Wallbridge Cheerleading Camp in Syracuse, Indi- ana. In competition held there, the cheerleaders brought home two first places and two second places. Besides attending all basketball and football games, the squad tried to attend other sports events. Members of the 1971-1972 varsity cheer- leading squad are FRONT ROW: Annette lrby, Patti Parks. BACK ROW: Beth Breni- zer, Karla Boxberger, Laurie Baiden, Laurie Maxfield. 1 V ti ABOVE: Snider s first freshmen cheerleaders are LEFT: Karen Young- er TOP TO BOTTOM: Joanne Richard, Janice Petnck, Linda Za- wodm RIGHT Charlotte Hughes.
