QHEEER READERS G- '7J M. Stadler, L. Malone, D. Gross Cheerleading this year was a highly successful enterprise, under the able leadership of Marcella Stadler, head cheer leader, assisted by Donna Gross and Lewis Malone. ' The selection of these three students was recommended by the Student Coun- cil, and approved by the student body. Outfits designed by Miss Golda Craw- ford, pep sponsor, lent color to the scene.. Simple in design, but effective in action, the cheer leaders' green sweaters with the word Scottiesn written across the back in red felt, were set off by red and green plaid slacks. Nu erous officials and others high in local athletics commended Highland Park's splendid show of loyalty and their effective backing of the teams. my Mama fBecause of the Scotch theme of this year's nHighlander,u the staff sponsored a Scottie dog drawing contest. All en- tries were exceptionally good, and the judges had difficulty in deciding which was best. After considering each en- try, the judges agreed that Robert Kirk's sketch was super- ior to the others, with Velma Lou Obenhaus's a close second. Robert's drawing is shown on ' this page. ,S lf
