However, beauty and brains are the rare combination in possession of our own Cheryl Watts. A cheerleader for the past three years, her enthusiastic leadership as a Co-Chief this year has brought to our athletic teams some of t.he finest support they have known. In addition to this extra-curricular activity, Cheryl devotes part of her free time to service as Secre- tary of the Senior Class and as President of the Girls' Monogram Club. This past year she was a member of the autumn Homecoming Court and a sponsor in the winter Homecoming Court. SYLVIA WEST Delightful Who is Sylvia? What is she? That all our swains commend her? Fair, good-natured, friendly and attractive are adjec- tives which aptly describe one of the most delightful personalities at Mineral Springs, Sylvia West. For wherever people congregate,she is a welcome member with her talent for imparting warmth and laughter. Because of her Winsome beauty, Sylvia has received many rewards, Key Club Sweetheart and membership in the autumn Homecoming Court, to name a few.
