J. V. Cheerleaders chosen by sophomores In September, eight junior varsi¬ ty cheerleaders were chosen in order that the J.V. teams might receive more support at their events. Gail Garland was head cheerleader, and Mrs. Merchant served as advisor. In choosing their uniforms, the J.V. cheerleaders tried to select outfits which they could wear after their year of cheering for the junior varsity was completed. They sold candy and beat ribbons to defray the cost of their uniforms. The J.V. cheerleaders are jubilant at the victory of their team. As the game draws to a close, the J.V. cheerleaders look toward the clock and the scoreboard. Cathy Collins leaps in the air as J.V.’s pull ahead. Fans of the opposing team are welcomed by the J.V. cheerleaders.
