oy-I just didn't know what to do about my money situation! I was a Back Room addicted patronizer. I tell you I had never consumed so many candy sticks or peanut butter cups. The days that the Distributive Education classes pro- ject, the Back Room was closed, were the only days that I could afford to eat a decent lunch. Yes people, I had this very tooth decaying problem just as many others did. You see, the Back Room was the D.E. classes project. It was run just as a store with managers, cash registers and taxes. Thatis right, the whole bit. Anyway, I cured myself. It happened one day during the lunch hours. The line to the candy counter was very long. I, like many others, tried to push my way into it. I got stuck by a counter filled with pens, pencils, notebooks, compasses, rulers and the like. I student behind the counter and he wrote up a little slip for me. I then tried to fight my way to the cash register. I paid my money and was off. I was sad yet happy. I was transformed from a candy addict to a pencil addict. Oh well, at least my dentist was happy. I then decided to check out the other as- pects ofthe Business Department. The various courses offered appealed to me. I decided, though, to take Shorthand I and Personal Typing. I had to use my eraser and graphite sometime!! Soon I found that I was weak willed, not only was I addicted to pencils but I was also hooked on Business Law, Bookkeeping, General Business and Distributive Marketing. Well, at least I had high hopes for myself. I figured that maybe one day I would graduate to pens, or maybe even typewriters!

'li till RESERVE CHEERLEADERS FRONT ROW Cleft to rightlz Kris Keller, Julie Koegel, Beth Brueck. SECOND ROW: Jean Berning, Ginny McCracken. ALL OF THE CHEERLEADERS boosting the spirit during the fight song gets the school up for ballgames. Q .fr VARSITY AND RESERVE CHEERLEADERS A perform a skit during a pep session for the en- tertainment of the student body. They appear, almost magically upon the gym floor as the band strikes up the school song. There seems to be a generating love for the school, a spirit that beckons you to cheer. Moving as one in perfect timing, they receive positive shouts and cheers. Small wonder-they are cheerleaders. Few people realize the time and effort put into each pep session and games. During fifth period when others are going to English or Math, the cheerleaders go to their class, Advanced Movements, under the direction of Ms. Sandy Boese. In the class they practice tumbling, work on pep sessions or paint signs. Their uniforms are their own design, their cheers come from tradition and other cheer- leaders. Many people question, why are there so many cheerleaders? An answer is good 'ol tradition. Ms. Boese tried to shrink the num- ber, but was fought 'tooth and nail'. To be- come a cheerleader three qualifications were metg tumbling, a personal interview, answer- ing the question why they want to become a cheerleader , how they think school spirit could be helped, and the last qualification, student vote. Boys can become cheerleaders or mascots if they wish and are good enough, yet no boys tried out this year.
