Afternoon practice occu- pied time and often the entire hall when cheerleaders worked on rou- tines. Well into the boy’s season, sev- enth and eighth grade girls decided to support and praise a well-deserv- ing eighth grade team at home games. Uniforms were not fancy, but white sweatshirts depicted the symbol and school name, and maroon pants set the school color. Miss Kay Blevins sponsored the varsity and JV squads and the 8th grade selected Phyllis Umbarger. A very young volleyball team set to work with zeal and determination. Winning games showed in the fren- zied excitement the girls displayed.
