Pep ctttpeKSfti (A 22 tMto Of the 22 pep rallies conducted by the Rockettes and Cheerleaders, the most infamous of all of them was the flush 'em rally, prior to the Hoisington football game. Pictured at the LEFT, the pep band in special attire and drum majorettes led by the inimitable comic, Barry Pruner, gave forth with raucous melodies to inspire the Ellinwood Eleven to victory. All who attended will long remember the infectious spirit and the promising taste of glory. Fans, with ashes in their mouths, looked forward to Ole Olson's Lindsborg victory dance.

Six elected cheerleaders and an alternate enthusiastically led the stu- dent body in support of EHS athletes throughout the 1966-67 school year. The cheerleaders, Jackie Glenn, Dale Harris, Cheri Hartenbower, Connie Hazen, Susie Manning, Jan Pedigo, andKathy Kimble mixed their efforts with those of the Rockettes to lend vocal support for the fighting Eagles. The Rockettes’ biggest project centered around preparations for homecoming. They white-washed windows and cars on Main Street, collected boxes for the bonfire, dec- orated for the royalty assembly, de- signed the throne for the queen and her attendants at the football field, and decorated the Eagles Nest for the homecoming dance, held after the game. At other times during the year, the Rockettes made posters, deco- rated goal posts, spangled the lucky horseshoe, painted gigantic signs presented skits to pep assemblies, aroused pep in general, and attend- ed both in and out-of-town games. Officers for the year were: Sherry Swan, president; Jayne Wirtz, vice- president; Marilyn Rapp, secretary; Marla Slough, publicity director; Bonnie Tomberlin, Marcia Sauber, Mary Flakus, Sandy Carey, Phyllis Taylor, and Maureen Casey, com- mittee chairmen; and Helen Miles, sponsor.

Eogfigs hcvt L, (jiMished wrth 4-15 i cxh I BosketbcJM iS Rwi Season Loag, FwsfoafcUig It was a frustrating season, observed Coach Robert Robins. We lost 5 games by a total of 6 points. I'm not making ex- cuses for the team. It was one of those years when the last moments' shots frequently rolled off the rim instead of through it. Indeed the Eagles finished the season with a 4 win, 15 loss record. Despite the scales being tipped heavily toward the loss side, the plucky team managed to win a third place trophy in the Lyons Invitational by defeating Lacrosse. Perhaps one of the most gratifying wins came when the boys humbled a much taller Hoisington quintet 53-50. The other two wins were at the expense of the Stafford Trojans who finished in the last position of the CPL standings. Important as the rec- ord is in the eyes of many people, there will be those who will recall the never-say-die spirit of the team, coaches, and stu- dent body. We have never had a group of players who worked more doggedly, said Principal George Cusick, or with a finer spirit. They consistently made fewer mistakes than their op- ponents. Size made the difference in every single game we played. Freshman Basketball-TOP ROW: Phil Roth, Clete Straub, Tomlsem, Kurt Rugan, David Schartz, Jon Wirtz.
