Beth Farlev Nancv Grubbs Linda Oakes Anne Moore, Head Bill Wentz Two weeks before GW’s official fall opening date, all cheerleaders trundled down to school every day to get back in shape for the rest of the year. It took sheer determination, when everybody else was still loafing and sleeping. As football season arrived, the work really began to pile up. Pep rallies, ribbon selling, an Charles Harris Open housc, dccorating for Homecoming week- end, parades, the Shrine game, “prescriptioning” Card fans to go on the bus trips, and busily pouring out piles of posters were only a few of the Cheerleaders’ demanding jobs. Most definitely the cheerleaders faced a chal- lenge in pounding school spirit into GW students, as well as to lead the faithful rooting section in that well-known deep-voiced and well- precisioned chorus. They did a mountain of a job cheering the team on to victory. Ray Smart T J J T O Peppy Laddies, Lasses Spur Jerry Buckner J.V.

STUDENTS FIND relaxation at the Public Library as they check resources for term papers, and maybe even cram for exams! “Studious” is the word for Beverly Hardy, Jewel Lewis, Nancy Isenhour, and Betsy Mast (a former GW-ite). IMPORTANT PHASE OF the winter program is the series of conferences, designed for prospective students to consult official college representatives. Nancye Barbour discusses her possible application for admittance to Roanoke’s National Business College with Dr. Fred Knoblock of the college faculty. BLEAK WINTER DAYS strip leaves from the few surrounding trees on campus, bring record snows, giving students melancholy moods and good reasons for sleeping.
