ROW 2 - Valjean Cooley, Ellen Pernell, Suzanne Beckham, Tanya Wiley. ROW 3 — Penny Nash. In addition to their support at all athletic events, the cheerleaders completed several projects; selling booster badges; selling doughnuts; and selling candy for the Monogram Club. With willing hands and unique ideas, the Varsity cheerleaders sponsored the annual Homecoming festivities. By pep rallies and a year-round bulletin board, the girls encouraged in- terest and support for the Big Blue. The Varsity cheerleaders were often assisted by the Junior Varsity cheerleaders. Led by Penny Nash, these girls did their share of promoting school spirit by cheering at the JV football games. Together these two squads have done an extraordinary job of boosting team morale and school spirit throughout the year. 77

Varsity, J. V. cheerleaders support teams Working to improve their technique, the Varsity cheerleaders broke the silence around Louisburg dur- ing summer practices. A week at camp in August put the girls in shape for the first game. Hours of tedious work were spent before each game making posters and badges. Keeping in mind their goals of promoting school spirit, the squad artistically decorated the goal posts with blue and gold streamers at each home game. Headed by Marilyn Stewart, the cheerleaders cheered the Bulldogs through victory and defeat. Anticipation mounted when the girls switched to basketball chants. Under the supervision of Mrs. Evelyn Williamson, the group spiced up their yells and performed pom-pom routines to the rhythm of the LHS pep band. Head Cheerleader Marilyn Stewart encourages en- thusiasm in the stands. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: ROW 1 - Angela Bumgarner, Beth Johnson, iMarilyn Stewart, Debbie Mashburn, Cynthia Best.

The Louisburg girls basketball team, coached by Mrs. Margaret Hobgood, has broken the ice. When the CIRCLE went to press, the girls had won two ball games. Predictions are that the girls will be better as the year and future years progress. The team, made up of some sharpshooting underclassmen, which will be back, make the fans look forward to the upcoming years. Always fighting hard, the girls have still fallen short of a winning season, but winning is not everything, and the girls have a lot to be proud of.
