Nobody likes getting up at 7:00 a.m. in the summer, but the cheer- leaders did just that in order to pre- pare for camp and the upcoming football and basketball games. Practicing at that hour four times a week finally paid off when they at- tended camp. They won many over-all excellence ribbons, sparkle and shine ribbons (for smiling) and the congeniality award. The cheerleaders also spent their summer hours selling note cards door-to-door. The money they raised was used to buy new uni- forms since they had six cheer- leaders this year instead of four. The start of the school year meant after school practices and decorating the halls and lockers for each game. In order to help build spirit, the girls often baked cakes and gave them to the players and coaches. The trip to Booneville with the football team, and memories of the Martinsville Holiday Basketball Tourney were special moments that the girls cherished. While in Martins- ville, they got to talk to Al McGuire, who was working for NBC. They also got to help cut down the nets after the Knights won the champion- ship game. The West Side game was an extra big game for the cheerleaders. Be- sides wanting to Kill the Rats in basketball the cheerleaders wanted to show up the Westside cheer- leaders because they went to camp with them. With our large, spirited block sec- tion backing the cheerleaders in their fancy stands and yells, CC looked great. Our spirit was high, and it was one of the best perfor- mances of the year. It is games like these that made all the early and long practices worthwhile. Whether the Knights won or lost the cheerleaders keep up the traditional good spirit and rowdiness that makes CC.

Determination, Inard work, long hours, and a season of growtin and learning nnade up ttie boys tennis team. Having no seniors or return- ing lettermen on the team. Coach Jerry Jared tried to compensate by having double session the last three weeks of a very hot August. Practice was accompanied by frequent water breaks for the thirsty players, but all the hard work was worth it. At one practice, during early September, get- ting a little bored with the old routine, the guys decided to practice hitting forehands. However, instead of hitting the tennis balls over the net, they hit them over the fence! When the last ball was over the fence and out on the grass, it was time to pick them up. Instead of wearing out their legs, the guys decided to drive around in their cars to pick up the balls, thus saving their legs for the next meet. The team consisted of 5 ju- niors, 1 sophomore, and 1 freshman. They didn ' t have a winning season, but the team improved as the season pro- gressed, with close meets against Benton Central, Harri- son, and Carroll. With a soph- omore holding the number one position, Tim Hatke, the Knights should be more exper- ienced next year and have an improved season. The boys worked hard, learned a lot, and had fun too. Next year, we should be much stronger and be more com- petitive, commented Coach Jared. Win or loose, the spirit was there and the team enjoyed the season. 1: Careful aim combined with a strong return puts tlie ball right where Vince Kochert wants it. 2: Hitting the ball from tne right angle helps Tim Hatke get an edge on his opponent. 3: Varsi- ty Boys Tennis: Bottom Row: Jim Parr, Pat Moeller, Sean Brennan, Mike Brennan, Top: Coach Jerry Jared, Vince Kochert, Tim Hatke, Craig Brewer, Steve Schwartz. 4: Following through on his forehand, Sean Bren- nan smashes a return to his opponent. 5: Using the tennis-ball-can as a water jug makes drinking between sets ea- sier for Vince Kochert and Sean Bren- nan. 6: A powerful serve by Pat Moeller shows his opponent that he is in for a real challenge. boys tennis 171
