Spirit And Enthusiasm From the tip off that commenced the first game to the action-packed play that climaxed the district tournament, the basketball cheerleaders were present to perform rousing chants and to lead the anxious crowd in cheers of victory. The pre- sentation of pep rallies, sponsorship of sign competitions, and the performance of skits also composed the routine of the bas- ketball cheerleaders. With their sponsor, Miss Lois Wright, the eight member squad journeyed with the basketball team pro- viding both enthusiasm and, on several occasions, treats of cakes, cookies, and other delights to give to the victorious Dukes. The Dukes possessed the pep, the steam, the coach, and the team, and through the efforts of the cheerleaders CHS was on the beam. S. Baldwin, G. Franck, B. Garrett, S. Jackson, G. Lipscomb, K.

Tournament Activities DORIS GWEN DOREY: JOAN The 1970 Girl's basketball season was surely a year to remember, for the fine teamwork and drive shown by these girls resulted in a 6-4 record for the season. Coach Kathy Williams had several veteran players returning to the squad who supplied both experience and some excellent ball handling. Dotty Ownby, leading scorer with an average of 19.4 points per game, Doris Langhorne, rebounding champ, and Brenda Lipscomb, fast-shooting forward, were selected for membership on the All-District team. Joan Rigsby, Gwen Lipscomb, and Joanie Marion also provided scoring power. The Dukettes entered into tournament play and reached the finals where they suffered a loss to Buckingham by the thin margin of only two points. Such an exciting and impressive season demanded pride from the entire student body in the performance of the Dukette team.
