The senior mixed quartet enjoys not only singing but also visiting. A familiar sight to most of us is this scene during a test in the auditorium. Here is Mrs. Isberg's eighth grade art class busily working on personal projects. Nov. 2—We had a pep assembly for the Cheyenne game. More kids from Lara- mie were at the game than there were from Cheyenne. We were all glad be- cause we beat the Indians 26-7. Nov. 6—All six periods were held in the morning. Some of the Senior High Pep girls had lunch at the Chef before the last football game of the season. We defeated Scottsbluff, and it was a real victory as it was the first loss for the Nebraska team in two years. Nov. 9—About thirty Seniors were called out of class after a Senior High assembly and were asked to be Captains for the Diabetes Drive.

The pledges dressed in costumes and gave skits. A slight dis- turbance followed. Oct. 7—This was the last day of school for the week because of teachers' con- vention.

The Future Teachers heard Superintendent Jack Corbett speak on the curriculum and progress of the new high school. To the joy of some, and sorrow of others, report cards came out. Oct. 23—The football team defeated Sheridan and spoiled their Homecoming. The cheerleaders went to Sheridan to cheer the team on to victory. One of the cheerleaders had gorgeous (?) purple hair. Oct. 28—The Seniors took another test today: Ohio tests. They were really very hard, but unfortunately they are required for college admittance. Oct. 30—It snowed today—and as a re- sult our football game with Cheyenne was canceled. Everyone was disappointed at the cancellation, but we were all in high spirits to renew the rivalry.

 CHEER CHEER FOR OLD LARAMIE HIGH (sung to the Notre Dame fight song) Cheer cheer for old Laramie High Wake up the echoes, do it or die Send a volley cheer on high Shake down the thunder from the sky Oh baby. What though the odds be great or small Old Laramie High will win over all While our loyal sons are marching onward to victory. Cheers to Sue A special tribute i» paid to Sue Hitchcock, our wonderful •. and deserving head-cheerleader. Not many people realise the responsibility she has had during this school year of '59-60, but she has carried the load exceedingly well. Her vivacious spirit and cheerleading abil- ity has created much school spirit among the members of the student body. Aside from cheerleading, she is a student council representative and has an active part in all her class activities. She is quite a sports enthusiast. She enjoys ski- ing and skating and has taken part in several ice follies. Her charm and personality penetrate most thoroughly throughout the school and she is admired by all. Partisan Viewers Fill the Stands for the Scottsbluff Game Adding to the excitement of the leremie-won contest, the exuberant cheerleaders keep up a steady barrage of yells, and A. O. Wheeler's colorful band plays peppy tunes with a foot-stomping beat. The refreshment line forms at the right.
