CHEERLEADERS SPARK MYSTIC SPIRIT Pam Johnson participates in a cheer to fire up the bucketballers. Spreading Mystic spirit across the campus this year are our cheerleaders, Peggy Schlicting, Garrison; Pamela Johnson, Glenburn; Bonnie Mann, Zap; Gail Morrison, Robinson; and Karen Buell, Minot. Prospective cheerleaders must tryout before a group of judges composed of Ms. Carol Martinson, girl’s basketball coach; Mrs. Nancy Stavn, advisor; and representatives of Student Organizations. Tryouts were based on jumps, a group cheer, and an individual cheer, totaling to a certain number of points. During their first year of cheerleading at BJC in the ’74-’75 season, the cheerleaders boosted spirit at wrestling matches, and football and basketball games. They also supported the Mystics at the Basketball tournaments in Dickinson. A basketball game finds Karen Buell giving the Mystics an added boost of enthusiasm and spirit. BJC’s cheerleaders are responsible for boosting spirit at all wrestling matches, basketball and football games. The Mystic cheerleaders huddle together against a cold October wind while waiting for the Homecoming Parade to get underway. Gail Morrison appears to know something that the others don’t about the outcome of this match. 28
