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

MYSTIC HOMECOMING Audrey Riehl was sponsored by the Girl’s and Boy's Dorms; Shannon Burns and Iris Engleman were chosen by the Sophomore and Freshmen classes, respectively. Ted Hausauer does some effective pre-election campaigning for Lettermen’s Club queen candidate, Beth Reimnitz. Homecoming plans got off to a late start because the Student Senate wasn't fully organized until late September, but BJC did manage to have a successful Homecoming on October 10, 11, and 12. The three days of activities included a convocation on Thursday at which the football team, cheerleaders, and the Homecoming queen candidates were introduced to the student body. The queen candidates majored in things from Special Education to Music and came from towns as near as Bismarck and from countries as far away as Columbia, South America. They were: Elsie Lopez, a foreign exchange student, sponsored by the Hospitality Club; Sue Nicolai, sponsored by the Music Department; Mary Mick, sponsored by the Vet’s Club. The Agri-Business Club chose Sandy Meidinger as their candidate and Beth Reimnitz was chosen to run for queen by the Lettermen's Club. Mariane Loeb, Jan Barry, and Kim O'Shea get into the festivities by casting their votes for Homecoming Queen. Homecoming activities actually got underway on Friday. A convocation was held that morning in order to hold a short pep meeting and for the coronation of BJC's 1974 Homecoming Queen. Everyone sat tensely in their seats hoping that the candidate they had voted for would receive the honor of wearing the crown. As the envelopes were opened, all in attendence learned that Iris Engleman, Mary Mick, Shannon Burns, and-Elsie Lopez were to be the new queen's attendents. Seconds later, with the opening of the final envelope, it was learned the Lettermen's Club choice for queen was to reign over BJC's Golden Harvest. The new queen, Beth Reimnitz. was then crowned by Delphine Friesz, last year’s queen. The Lettermen’s Club managed to take in the honorsduringthis year’s Homecoming, for not only was their candidate chosen queen, but of the seven floats entered in Delphine Friesz shares her last words as reigning queen before crowning her successor. The candidates and escorts await the results of the Homecoming election.
