Happiness was victory and success for the Dukette softball team which completed its 1971 season with aS and 1 record. The squad, coached by Mrs. Kathy Williams, was one which exemplified outstanding sportsmanship and powerful skill to capture the top berth in district competition. Under the able lead- ership of senior members, the team maintained an average of 17 runs per game while Gwen Lipscomb completed the season with a .400 batting average followed closely by the .385 average of Kern Gilliam.

Cheerleaders Spark School BEE Co-captain G. Franck, J. Wilson, K. Wilson, L. Danby, S. Jackson, B. Garrett. GWEN Co-Captain We're here to show we're Duke fans, so come on, prove it. . .! And that is exactly what the football cheerleaders did. Consisting of a seven member volunteer squad, these vivacious girls donned their uniforms proudly and filled the student body with enthusiasm and school spirit. Performing at pep rallies and games, the cheer- leaders, under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Charles Smith, raised their pompons high and through their spar- kling megaphones of blue and gold echoed rousing chants and yells. A spirited bonfire preceding the Homecoming game and the presentation of several comical skits high- lighted the season. When shoulder pads, helmets, and football equipment had long been in storage, and royal blue skirts, and saddle shoes had been tucked in a closet, the atmosphere of spirit and pride injected into the school community by the football cheerleaders could be felt. SHEILA (Lower right) An over-sized Linda Danby gives Betty Gar- rett a sly glance as Betty, looking rather disgrunted, views her prospective cheerleading squad. 24
