Soccer Bunnies Third Squod Added Try-outs were the new method of choosing Soccer Bunnies. Early in November 30 girls were selected from 60 after a skills tests, poster competi- tion, and cheer demonstration. New also this year was the squad for the frosh team. The three groups had two different new uniforms to wear. Freshmen and JV Bunnies had skirt and shirt outfits, while Varsity wore layered shirts with straight legged jeans. The new adviser Ms. Young insisted that the Bunnies have a common uniform of brown warm-ups with the girls' nicknames lettered on the back. The girls really appreciated the warm suits during the winter games. The Bunnies held a variety of fund raisers to earn money for their uniforms. They made the most 153007 on a car- wash held at the corner of Flancho and Sahara. Aside from cheering, the Soccer Bunnies gave support by keeping statistics and serving oranges to the players during half-times.
