Cheer Leoders We again had a fine trio of cheer leaders this year. Two of the girls. Bonnie Huss and Bonnie Gibson, were refelected this year. Since this has been their third year of experience in the art of yelling. they have each received a sweat- er with a letter for their splendid work. Carol Barger was our new cheer leader this year. Although she was just a sophomore, she made an excellent yell leader. The girls' costumes were very attractive. They were planned to represent little kittens in boots. Bonnie Huss. the eldest of the girls. will graduate this spring: so we wish Bonnie and Carol the best of luck in cheer leading in the future. Left to right: Bonnie Huss, Carol Barger, Bonnie Gibson.

The work of the managers includes such various duties as keeping the dressing room and supplies in order, attending all practices. . t- keeping an accurate shooting chart, and assis ing the team at all games.
