and Famous Boosters Echo Throughout the State. Wilkie I-ligh's Booster Club proudly shows off its red sweaters, white col- lars, and blue E's. After the season they give the team a testimonial dinner. I think they should give a dinner to the Booster club too. As hard as those girls work for the team, they de- serve some special recognition. This was the opinion of a typi- cal adult fan concerning Elwood's famous cheer block. The fan said this after the New Castle game when the Booster Club had backed the team through trying moments to a great upset victory. The Booster Club is an inte- gral part in the success of the Panthers. The one -hundred girls seem to yell loudest when Elwood is behind. Visiting fans are always de- lighted at the sharp way the Boosters spell out their name. At the Holiday Tourney the girls spelled out Happy New Year with flashlights in the darkened gYm- Wherever the Panthers are, there, too, is the Booster Club. These candid pictures were taken during the Holiday Toumey and are typical of the support which the Booster Club gives the Mighty Panthers.

Let's go, Elwood! is a cry that has echoed throughout the state, While the Mighty Panthers were racking up victory after victory, the Two S's Plus Two J's were busy giving the boys the support they needed. Dressed in white sweaters with sharp Pan- ther-E's and red and blue skirts, the girls led the Booster Club in brand new yells, like Give Me the Beat! and Team, Team, Rah Rah, Team. The girls did more than just lead cheersg they also decorated hoops for the team to enter through and entertained visiting cheerleaders at halftime. It will be hard to replace Sherry and Sheila, but with Joyce and Jeanine back next year Elwood will continue to be known for its fighting spirit. Cries of Victory from Our Four Cheerleaders Gathering around Big Blackie, the Panther mascot, are the varsity cheerleaders, Sherry Beasley, head, Joyce Morris, Jeanine Lightfoot, and Sheila Hevron. A cheerleader s work never ends. The girls must make up new yells and motions, keep the spirit high among adult as well as student fans, and do other things that are a part of victory. For the first game of the basketball season the cheerleaders made this hoop to send the team on its way to a successful season.
