GET A LITTLE KICK FROM CALLAWAY Precision! This is what the summer and year long practices entailed for the Chargettes and Cheer- leaders. The Chargettes spent over 150 hours this summer perfecting their routines. With skill and accuracy, they enlightened the halftime performances. Chargette officers Suzanne Blalock, captain; First Lieutenant, Debbie Harp; and Drill Masters, Princess Cotton and Bev- erly Benge attended camp at Sulphur, Louisiana. All the Chargettes at- tended camp at Lake Tia Kahta, accompanied by their sponsor Mrs. Over- street. Fatigue is mirrored on the faces of cheerleaders during the Greenville game. The nine Cheerleaders practiced during the sum- mer and throughout the year to achieve perfection. During the year they had responsibilities such as preparing for pep rallies, painting signs, selling ribbons and buttons, and organizing spirit week. They participated in a cheerleading camp this year at Ole Miss and brought back the spirit stick and four superior blue ribbons. Mrs. Payne served as sponsor, while Ruth McLeod served as head-cheerleader. 60 Cheerleaders And Chargettes
