The “A cheerleaders for the 1968- 1969 school year were Cathe Bauske (2 yrs.), Joan Gageby (3 yrs.), Kris Scofield (4 yrs.), Mary K. Skroch (1 yr.), and Glenda Veldkamp (1 yr.). These five vivacious cheerleaders very loyally led the student body and teams through a hard fought athletic season. They attended the cheer- leading clinic in Brookings on Septem- ber 28, 1968, which encouraged many hard practices. To help pep up the student body, the school purchased purple pom poms, and the cheerleaders repainted the gold megaphones to a bright purple. A new method of elimination was initiated this year as a flip from the minitramp was a prerequisite to the finals. In the finals, each girl performed before the faculty who had the honor of choosing eight candidates. After a final vote by the student bod) these five were named. From left to right are Joan Gageby, Kris Scofield, Glenda Veldkamp, Mary K. Skroch, and Cathe Bauske. The cheerleaders received much advice and aid from their advisor. Miss Marilyn Anderson. Time Out for Team Spirit The freshman and sophomore classes elected cheerleaders to help lead their “B” team to victory. The same procedure was used in selecting the B squad as the “A except the flip from the minitramp was not a re- quirement. The “B” cheerleaders purchased new purple sweaters and skirts. The “A cheerleaders passed down their old gold sweaters and purple pom poms to the junior squad. The “B” cheerleaders are (1. to r.) Margo Headrick, Jackie Olson, Roxee Jones, and Bette Hass, (center) 30
