Sl' Squad Adds Zest to Athletic Season ..,,,t.. , ff Wh!! . I 'M - i Z l My Beadle in their football -nprisiflg d were JorS?'l' Com, IU' Myrna 3, soph' Wed as The girls were selected to the squad by a ten-member Trojan Booster Club panel during tryouts held in the spring of the year. Judg- ing was based on skill displayed in a series of jumps, and on vocalization, coordination, general appearance, and poise and personality shown throughout the tryout sessions. Jolene Lindbloom left the squad in January, having graduated with a two-year secretarial degree, and was replaced by Jan Amert, a two- year veteran of the squad. The girls were present for all home games and followed both the foot- ball and basketball teams to many away games. Their duties, in addi- tion to leading cheers and stimulat- ing school spirit, included making posters, arranging pep assemblies, and serving as waitresses at ath- 1 Q Vff c Ietic and alumni luncheons and ban- quets. A highlight of the year was the weekend Black Hills trip, Febru- ary 9-1 1. The basketball season found the cheerleaders sporting new uniforms -white pleated skirts and royal blue sweaters with gold and white stripes. The uniforms were, indeed, a welcome addition to the spectacle of General Beadle's athletic season.
