GHS Cheerleaders are the source of spirit! There were big changes in the selection of cheerleaders this year, according to Coach Carol Clemens. The practice of choosing cheerleaders in the spring to serve for a whole year had several drawbacks that she became aware of as she worked with the girls. She hit upon the idea of a split season after consulting with other coaches. After football season, then, there were new tryouts, open to anyone. Cheerleaders had the choice of trying out but they were not required to do so. She writes: I have found in talking to old cheerleaders that they have been cheering since 7th or 8th grade. They thought they could never be beaten by a better person. The old story-once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader. They worked hard for and during tryouts and once they made it, they stopped working. Now if they stop working, they can be replaced in 6 months'with new tryouts. Girls who did not make the squad this time have found their world did not end, there are people out there who are capable of beating them, and even that cheering was not as important as they had thought. Even cheerleaders can get into a rut! We feel the change has been good for everyone. In a few years it will be time for another change. Who knows? We might even have boys on our squads! 1. Junior, Patty Ahrens, along with the rest of the varsity cheerleading squad shows the students at GHS the revealing facts of football. 2. The Varsity basketball cheerleading squad do a floor cheer at half time to get the GHS crowd fired up! 3. The freshman basketball cheerleading squad show their liveliness out on the floor with their Texas routine. 4. Even though the weather was briskly cold Senior Michelle Eister still shows her spirit! 5. Counselor Robert McNally is being tied up for 'pass the orange by varsity cheerleader Suzanne Sinks. 6. Seniors Kellie Clancy and Shelley Treloar show enthusiasm for the senior class! 7. The J, V. cheerleading squad do a pom pom routine to get football players fired up for the big game against Bentley.

IWDDLE SCHOOL From elementary to Middle school is a large step that every student must take. In M.S. the teachers principal aim is to develop the minds of the 6th, 7th and 8th grade students, and prepare them for the trials and traumas of high school. Life is full of new skills, new friends and so many new experiences! Classroom and hall way bulletin boards are changed regularly to reflect both the parade of events and artistic abilities of students. Competition instincts are encouraged through ath- letics for both boys and girls, and all school and class parties foster social development. Our photos are meant to capture the feelings and moods of these important years.
