Small Squad, Big Yeai At first we couldn’t believe it, said Varsity cheerleader Joy Aberle when captain Nancy Bro-guard quit the squad. Shortly after school started, Nancy announced she was joining the church and no longer wished to cheer. Earlier that summer, both squads attended camp at ISU. Here they learned cheers and chants from camp instructors and other squads. Some favorites were: Boogie on Down, Boomerang, and the Funkie Chicken. Big spirit generators were the skits the girls did at pep assemblies. One won’t forget Grassgreen and the Six Dwarfs, Tommy Tartar, or Batman and Robin and the TV shows. Crepe paper and posters clung to the walls of the boys' lockerroom during football and basketball seasons. The girls spent hours after school making hall posters and posters for the band and volleyball team. They also sold shampoo to raise money for new uniforms. Mrs. Ward was sponsor again this year. The Varsity had no captain, and the JV captain was Susan Honegger. 1. Varsity cheerleaders were: Sally Schaheer. Debbie Holland, Joy Aberle, and Pam Lawrence. 2.
