Themselves In A Whirl Of Sporting Activities Elected in the Spring of 1967, the three Varsity Cheerleaders soon found themselves in a whirl of sporting events. Practicing three nights a week, making posters, and selling beat tags, the girls helped build school spirit. A maroon skirt with a gold jacket trimmed in maroon, with the jacket styled along the lines of the school sweater, was worn by the cheerleaders at the football games. A gold uniform was worn during the basketball season. A glimpse behind the scene, however, revealed that the Cheerleaders were re- quired to perform many arduous tasks. Imaginative and sound routines were de- vised to make the games more enjoyable for the spectators. R. Jurado and M. Gabusi staged skit during pep assembly. K. Patrick practiced new yells before football game. Varsity Cheerleaders Sandra Stevens; Rebecca Jurado; Kathy Patrick; and Martha Gabusi took time to practice new stance for leading students in cheers. S. Stevens put up humorous poster before game with Morenci.

Tellez, D. Baker and L. Aguallo led students during Thatcher JV game. Pom Pon Girls Performed For Sports Events The CHS Pom Pon girls worked hard on their routines to help the Cheerlead- ers instill enthusiasm in the student body. The girls performed at the football games and pep rallies where they presented original and imaginative routines. Dressed in maroon uniforms, the girls were on hand to cheer the team through to victory. These girls helped the cheerleaders uphold the high stand- ards of sportsmanship, leadership, and character among the students of Clifton High.
