Cheerleaders and Pep Club Varsity Cheerleaders FRONT ROW--Lee Steifel, Cindy Goodfriend, Sherrie Weiner. SECOND ROW--Joy Dryer, Marti Shiffer, Cherrie Nagelbush. The job of a cheerleader is one that requires time and practice, but it is rewarding to each girl. Beach- wood's cheerleaders exhibit enthusiasm needed to boost school spirit in victory and defeat. All four squads have worked closely with their advisors Mrs. Coleen Wilcox and Miss Loretta Krosnosky, who have devoted much time to these activities. Work- ing with Mr, Mattern, the cheerleaders have led the Pep Club to back the Bisons at all games. In the Autumn, the Varsity cheerleaders attended the Cheerleading Clinic held at Kent State University. This gave them the opportunity to add new ideas. | Students join the cheerleaders in singing the fight song in hope of a Bison victory. Dismayed cheerleaders watch as Beachwood fails to make touchdown.

And for the first time the people of Beachwood were able to see the Beachwood High School Marching Band do just as was written in the song by Ira Gershwin. Earlier in the year, Mr. Gene Shroyer took the band and the majorettes hostelling near Ann Arbor, Michigan. While becoming better-acquainted with their fellow-musicians, the band also learned the value of disciplining by watching the skilled Michigan University Band at practice and performing at the Michigan-Army football game. Once back at home, they went to work in the freezing cold of Beachwood's new and unheated temporary bandroom. Equipped with their new uni- forms and sparkling percussion section, the band was scheduled to march at Beachwood's last football game. Rain was also scheduled for that night, however, and so, headed by Drum Major Rodney Brown, Beachwood's first marching band took the field in the gymnasium at-the first basketball game. Also more fully organized this year were the Concert, Pep, and Dance bands. The Concert Band demonstrated its ability in an Assembly, while the Pep Band performed at home basketball games. The Dance Band's services were employed at the Junior Class Hop. Adding to the Marching Band to make it even more successful were the majorettes. This year a twirling class of Junior High girls was organized to replace the graduating majorettes. On a weekend in Ann Arbor, Beachwood's Band enjoys a half-time performance by the famed University of Michigan Marching Band. 79
