Cheerleaders Lead Pep Club Pirate pride was very apparant as the energetic cheerleaders led enthusiastic fans throughout the athletic season. In order to learn new cheers, different formations and various methods of inducing pep, the cheerleaders participated in a clinic in Aberdeen held on September 5. To earn money for the cost of their sweaters the cheerleaders raffled off an afghan, held sock-hops, and sponsored a car wash. The strong pep club backed the cheerleaders whenever new chants developed. Their school spirit was also displayed as they helped the cheerleaders make signs for various athletic functions. Many of the members attended all of the home sports events. Dues for pep club were fifty cents. This money, contributed by the members, helped pay for a pep bus to Langford, the last basketball game of the season. Officers of the pep club were Kathy Neuharth, President; Sue Liebel, Vice-President; and Carolyn Sieh, Secretary-Treasurer.

Girls Strive The girls’ track season proved to be very interesting and rewarding Setting two new records and breaking twelve old records were the highlights of this year’s team. The girls had a new coach this year, Mr. Paul Kindelspire, and thought he was a very good in- structor. Having more track meets than usual, the freshmen who came out with much enthusiasm, did very well. Setting a new record in the 220 yard dash was Alana Noble, running it in 27.4 seconds which qualified her for the State meet. Marcia Mack broke the record for the 110 yard hurdles, running them in 17.2 seconds and Janis Schaffner ran the 100 yard dash in 12.3 seconds. All of the old relays’ records were broken, setting the new times faster than ever before. Pam Weiszhaar also did her best to set the mile run record 6:31.6. Setting new records in the high jump, 4’6Vi”; shot put, 30’8te”; and long jump, 14 5 ” was Marcia Mack. It was the first year for the 180 yard hurdles with a record time of 27.9 seconds set by Sue Leibel. The two mile relay team was also new and set the time of 11:06.5.
