Redskin supporters enliven enthusiasm in athletes Good day, Manual High School Stu- dents, today we ' re with some loyal Redskin supporters: Secret Admirers, Wrestling Greeters, and Trackettes, who respectively supported the foot- ball, wrestling, and track teams. The Secret Admirers, sponsored by head coach Ray Schultz, consisted of sophomore, junior, and senior girls. Each girl was assigned a football player or manager for the purpose of firing him up. The girls decorated the players ' lockers and the halls. They also sent notes and treats, so the guys would know they were behind them one hundred percent. The identities of the girls were kept hidden until the Football Awards Pro- gram, at which time each player met his Secret Admirer. The girls presented the boys with a scrapbook of the season ' s activities and the girls received gifts as a token of apprecia- tion. Senior Karen Schultz said, I en- joyed being a Secret Admirer mainly because it gave us girls an opportu- nity to become involved in our Red- skin Football family. It was also very exciting to keep my identity hidden from my player. Wrestling Greeters, sponsored by Miss Molly McGarry, did several tasks for their job. Not only did the girls cheer for the wrestlers, but they also kept score, mopped mats, and sold tickets in addition to acting as secret admirers for the team. Junior Ronda Stapert commented, The reason I became a Wrestling Greeter was be- cause I really enjoy wrestling, and this makes me feel as though I am part of the team. It ' s also very interesting. To qualify for Wrestling Greeters, the girls had to pass a test and per- sonal interview. During the interview they were rated on appearance, inter- est in wrestling, personality, poise, school spirit, and voice quality. Wres- tling Greeters had to maintain a C av- erage with no F ' s. Trackettes, sponsored by Miss Ann Manning, kept scores, announced events, measured distances, awarded ribbons, and cheered the track team on to many victories. Trackettes also had to maintain a C average with no F ' s. They attended training sessions, in which they learned the order of events, how to score, and what is involved in a track meet. The final step in becoming a Trackette was passing a written exam. Junior Loretta Morrison said, It made me feel important keeping the score, and I enjoyed seeing Manual win so many meets.

Masoma, Roines liven school spirit Masoma and Roines were both hon- orary clubs open to second semester juniors and all seniors. But, in order for boys and girls to have been se- lected to participate in these clubs, they had to have obtained grade points averages of 6.0 or above, and they also had to have been approved of by the deans. Both groups sponsored booths at the Pow Wow, and they both partici- pated in activities that have become traditions for each group. For in- stance, at Christmas time, Roines have hung the Roines wreath above the Madison Avenue main en- trance. And, Masomas have always prepared mums for the selling of them at Homecoming. Teresa Callahan re- plied, Masoma is fun and a great op- portunity to be of service to the school. It made me feel like a senior. Masoma EMHS 25
