Demon Pep Real Crowd Pleaser Cheering is a vital part of every athletic event. Sometimes the crowds are very small. Many times there is little to cheer about, but in front of the fans, the squad of girls enthusiastically encourage the team. The freshmen squad began practices shortly before school started and quickly molded into a unit. Although the group did not attend a camp, they were taught new cheers by the sophomore squad. The girls had quite a time. Many times at out-of-town games, the only Hall spectators were parents of the players. They were still able to keep the spirits up. The Demon squad rooted for sophomore teams. The group of girls began to practice the week before school started. Routines were developed to go with their various cheers. The motto of the girls was “practice makes perfect.” It seems that all of their free time was spent practicing. As the season progressed, the routines became polished. The girls were real crowd pleasers because of the caliber of the cheers. The cheerleaders were under the guidance of Ms. Anderson and Mrs. Wolf, who both expressed pleasure with the results of the year’s activities.

Devils Establish New Hall Record The Red Devils enjoyed their finest dual season ever. Their record of ten wins, three losses is a new school record. They finished the year on a real up note by finishing third in the regional meet, fourth in the sectional meet, and tied for eleventh in the state meet. Two devils made the All-State team by finishing among the top 25 runners in the state final meet. Brian Schwarting was seventeenth and Adam Suarez twenty-fifth. Both runners were also on the NCIC allconference team. The Red and White were a very dedicated, hard-working group. Steve Schwarting, a freshman; Kent “Moe” Herrmann, a junior; Doug Rivara, a sophomore; Rich Savitch, a sophomore; Emil Bertalot, a senior; and Mark Williams, a sophomore made up this year’s highly successful group. The frosh-soph squad also enjoyed a very fine season and are anxiously awaiting next year. Crossing the mile-anda-half mark. Fred Miller, Mark Huston, and Ed Zeglis trail the Princeton leader.
