Matmaids have been busy this past year. The group consisted of seven members. They provided our wrestlers with tags before each meet.

They sold key chains as a fund raising proj- ect. At the Lincoln Invitational they decorated the locker room for a change of pace.

Spreading spirit at the sopho- more activities was the major goal of the Sophomore Cheer- leaders. The Cheerleaders were chosen from various southside junior highs, last spring. During the summer they at- tended practices and learned traditional Lincoln cheers, taught by the Varsity squad. Under the aid of captain Betty Kocppl, the girls attended wrestling meets, and football and basketball games, throughout the 75-76 school year. By cheering at these activities, they helped back their sophomore team to a successful season.

Drill Team involves dance, imagination 3 LINCOLN DM. IA The 1975-76 Drill Team began performances early by marching at the Shriners bowl game and parade. They also helped at the Jerry Lewis Telethon. To help raise money for the trip to Florida with the marching band, the Drill Team had many fund raising projects which in- cluded selling candles, a bake sale, and a car wash. The squad was led by co-cap- tains NorRae Merkel, and Jill Stanley. New dance steps and a Bicen- tennial touch were added to many routines during the basketball season. The girls added spirit to Lincoln by making tags, decorat- ing locker rooms, and cheering through the halls on game mor- nings. Captains NorRae Merkel and Jill Stanley display the school banner as marching band performs in the background.
