m On the first Saturday in June, members of the student body of the new Ind ependence High School met to elect ten cheerleaders. After they were chosen, the cheer¬ leaders spent a busy sum¬ mer deciding on uniforms and creating new cheers for their new school. In August, all ten cheer¬ leaders retreated to the beach, where they prac¬ ticed cheers and made posters for the coming- year. A car-wash was held in order to raise money to pay for uni¬ forms. During the year, the cheerleaders sold beat ribbons to pay for their pom-pons and uni¬ forms. The excellent school spirit displayed by the student body was testimony to the fine work of the cheerleaders this year.
