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.

Band Brightens Practice, parades, practice, bus trips, prac- tice, practice, practice — all parts of being in the GWHS Band! Under the direction of Mr. Eugene Stryker, the band had a suc- cessful year as usual. Its members bright- ened quite a few halftime performances at football games, sparked holiday parades, and made a commendable presentation at the concert during the Fine Arts festival. Being in the band required musical skill. It entailed also the abihty to follow direc- tions and to be led as a unit. WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT, good music, or a neat instrument room?
