Sandy Nicholson v.- Raider pepsters conduct two tryout ses- sions yearly to recruit new members for orientation within the hvely and lovely ranks. One recruitment period occurred at the beginning of fall trimester, a second at termination of the winter go-round. This method provides a squad with representation from the upper and the freshman classes. Among this year ' s freshman representatives to yell leadership, Pat Parr leaped into the Miss Cheerleader USA contest sponsored by Florida Cypress Gardens. Pat was one of more than 800 college and university cheer- leaders entered in the fourth annual nation- wide event that has attracted high jumping talent from the field. Had she placed in the competition, Pat would have been flown, all expenses paid, to Cypress Gardens for final judging Easter Sunday.

icintillating Quintet Peppered Rafters in Raider Praise Hailing from as far afield as Anchorage, Alaska, on the north and Albuquerque on the south, five comely coeds in green hailed the prowess of Raider court, field and mat events through a season of vocal reverbera- tions. Personifying boundless energy and a vitality which they were willing to share with campus boosters, the five yell leaders fired crowds who oftentimes were otherwise steeped in chilling rains, freezing snows or cooled by the dismal blues of apparent defeat. Selected for the wearing of the green in this season of ' 66 were Diane Bobst of Shiprock, N. M., Sandy Benzel, Anchor- age, Alaska, Sandy Nicholson of Denver, Sharon Shing- ler of Aztec, N. M., and Pat Parr of Albuquerque. Mrs. Ruth Gregory served the group as sponsor; Sandy Nicholson led the leaders as chief cheerer.
