Team Ends Middle Era with Winning Season The Middlebury Middies finished their basketball career with a fine J 4 - -6 season. Since this was the last year for MHS, the team put forth great effort to end the Middie era in fine style. Some of the outstanding players included brothers Steve and Doug Yoder, who led the team in scoring respectively. Other fine players were Jim Shoup, who was third in team scoring, Tom Sherck, a scrappy guard, and Jay Bistline, who was the team's tallest at 6'3 . Carl Eash, a fine defensive guard, and Tom Adkins, a relief center, added to the Middie line-up. Doug will return next year aided by classmate Galen Hershberger who proved to be a defensive coach's dream as he stopped leading opponents throughout the season. Another fine prospect was freshman Dean Weirich. 20

Cheerleaders Led Team to Successful Finale B-Teamcheerleaders: Judy Hershberger,Denise Mock-ler, David Eymer, and Mari Frederick. Varsity cheerleader, Diane Warstler, gives the Middle -bury mascot a quick ride before the game. The Middies were fired up as the season opened with the cheerleaders conducting a snake dance followed by a bonfire at the school. The cheerleaders'jobs are not only to lead fans in enthusiastic support during the games, but they must also create and encourage school spirit. The Jr. High, Freshmen, and B Team cheerleaders gained experiences as they also cheered their teams to victory. The cheerleaders also organize and conduct pep sessions and blue and white days at M.H.S. The long hard hours that the cheerleaders spent in practicing proved to be beneficial as the cheerleaders led the mighty Middies to a grand finale. Varsity cheerleaders: Diane Warstler, Lois Yoder, Joy Eby, and Sharon Troyer.
