Cheerleaders Hostesses -4 s Kneeling L R Lois Portelance, Chris Vincenzo, Leslie DiMartino, Leslie Barber. Sitting- Gail Daddario, Anne Marie Iezzi Cherie Gagnon Standing- Debbie Wynn, Karen Stearns, Missing- Betty Harris. You can't identify them with your scorecard, won't find their names in the headlines, nor will you see their pictures plastered on magazine covers or bubblegum cards. The fact is, however, that cheerleaders are almost as important to the game of basketball as the ball itself. To some, maybe even more. Instead of receiving encouragement, they shout it. Instead of earning applause, they supply it. This year's Eastern cheerleading squad was one of the finest ever at the college. With one senior, Debbie Wynn, and a host of talented women, the team cheered at nearly every home basketball game, both men's and women's, on weeknights and on weekends. Indeed, it takes a special person that will devote so much of themselves to the art of cheer- leading. At ECSC, these people are named Debbie, Anne, Betty, Leslie, Leslie, Chris, Gail, Cherie, Lois and Karen.
