VARSITY CHEERLEADERS FIRST ROW: J. Vlach, D. Keegan, Captain; N. Spelman. SECOND ROW: R. Owen, L. Lashway, A. .Foden. ABSENT: S. Page. The Cheerleaders, always an active group, were particularly busy this yeaf. In addition to their regular schedule of performances at all football and basketball games away and at home, they sponsored a triple header basketball event shortly before Christmas to raise money for uniforms and for the banquet honoring the football team. The triple header included women faculty members versus senior girls, faculty men versus alumni, and two local teams. The Small Schools Tournament offers the girls an opportunity to display their well-practiced routines before a large and appreciative group of spectators. Their time, efforts, and talent paid off this March when they performed there in support of the Hurricanes. Members of this organization are chosen by a committee of faculty members and a student committee of the same size appointed by class officers. Contestants for a place on the squad try out and the committees make their selections. J.V. cheer- leaders are chosen in the same way and are eligible for positions on the varsity squad upon graduation of veterans. To the cheerleaders goes some of the credit for the winning teams of ARMS. They deserve cheers for their loyal leadership and for their support of the competitive sports of the school. 29
