As I was saying, the above picture was another of those kind of things that we call a retake. (I forget which retake, twenty-first or twenty-second no doubt.) BELOW: Chuck demonstrates the cheer called “Countdown.” You remember the one, like this: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and then some fool would scream all by himself: ONE! while everyone else held up a finger. LOWEST RIGHT: TOP: Laurie Studer. MIDDLE: Donna Kleckner, Terri Miller, Joanne Rufener. In front outfitted in a basketball uniform is Pam Sandley. V” is for VICTORY which is what we all yelled, no matter what our sport might have been. RIGHT: Are there enough different displays of emotion? or perhaps they are all the same emotion: Hope and cheer, but determined that our guys will end on the tip-top. This was our Conference Tournament, where a large amount of mixed emotion found its way into everyone. MIDDLE RIGHT: I bet you never thought it was possible to catch them all with open-mouths in one picture. Here's evidence (don't forget to tilt your book fly-high) that it can be done. But don’t forget that this is also evidence that they were doing their job — and well. MIDDLE LEFT: The Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders: Hands Across the Sea. ON TOPIS: Kandy Holcomb. STANDING: Julie Kundert. MIDDLE: Charlotte Blum and Laurie Ganshert. FRONT: Jan Springer, Bonnie Gyure.

LEFT: BEGINNING AT THE FAR LEFT IS: Laurie Ganshert, Julie Kundert, Bonnie Gyure, Jan Springer, Cyndi Cherrey, and Charlotte Blum. They were the energetic highly spirited and never give up group called Varsity Football Cheerleaders. They came up with many decent skits over the football season. But it took two tries to get a picture of them. RIGHT: Almost the same order, but let’s explain this portrait. Laurie starts, “Hey! This is a great place for a picture retake in the middle of winter.” Julie, Laurie, would you please move your arm. Bonnie. “1 like this cement, it’s a nice place to do cheers.” Cyndi, “Yes, sir, right here in front of MHS, under the world-famous Arch.” Jan, “I’ll have nothing to do with this.” And Chuck says, “Hey!? Did you know he just snapped a picture?” They Yelled, Screamed, Stomped Clapped As last year, the cheerleader advisor was Mrs. Mag-lio, who is not pictured due to fear of cameras? However, just because one does not have the desire to be photographed, does not mean that one did not supply the leadership necessary. A curious thought for all you hard-thinking thinkers: Why are the same cheerleaders found in the various photographs over and over again? I think that means that they were the cheerleaders. One more strange line before I attempt to get serious or whatever (mostly whatever I’m sure): For those of you football fans that comprehend we have a thought: CHEERLEADER HERE! In real life being a cheerleader requires a lot of skill, twice as much endurance, being proud of the team you are cheering for and the people you are cheering with, and of course we must not forget the obvious reasons either. Just in case somebody decides to read this we’ll add an eye catcher here at the bottom of our page: 22 ABOVE: The J.V. Basketball Cheerleaders Are As Follows: TOP: Mary Kay Klarer. MIDDLE: Peggy Usher, Anna Albertson. FRONT: Louise Viney, Lisa Eberle, and Christy Donny. A well representing group for our J.V. Basketball players. They also managed to help make our pep rallies a little more life-like etc. or something. BELOW: The J.V. Football Cheerleaders have one advantage over all the other cheerleader groups: both of their first-time photos turned out well, therefore the JV’s in a tree: STANDING: Anna Albertson, Connie Daley, Kathy Schuepp. OUT IN FRONT: Mary Kay Klarer, Christy Donny, and AT THE RIGHT. Louise Viney.

Vets Prove Strengths Varsity Football: FIRST ROW: B. Skattum, manager; JJ; DB; DH; BR; SE; TE; FK; J. Van Waganen, manager. SECOND ROW EC; RS; DH; TD; PM; JM; BS; AM; J. Hinkleman. coaches: Mike Setzer and John Brodie. THIRD ROW: R. Bechtolt, RS; M. Huber, C. Carpenter, D. Brandenburg, SS; JG; S. Schwager, B. Hauri, B. Huffman. FOURTH ROW: J. Brodie, D. Brennan, B. Zimmerman, J. Ripp, R. Rufenacht, B. Robertson, S. Neises, L. Carpenter, J. Stormont, E. Studer, M. Ethridge. RIGHT: Joe Motz and Doug Bahler are planning it out. It takes brains to be an efficient defensive man? For those of you who like facts: the 1973 Varsity Football team of the MHS has compiled many outstanding accomplishments: they scored 136 points and only allowed 62; they set a school record of 23 interceptions by eight different men; they had two monster linebackers totaling 286 tackles; and 19 underclassmen as returning letter winners for the next season in addition to the 18 seniors who have played their last game for MHS. To point out the outstanding material playing for Monroe, we list those men placed upon the All-Conference Team: Bob Silvis, Steve Sutter, Tom Elmer, Tim Dearth, Eric Cerbins, Bob Stormont, Paul Marty, Alex McKeown, Dick Halvorson, Joe Motz, Dennis Holyoke, Bob Stormont, Bill Rufenacht, Steve Erickson, Doug Bahler. And for the rest of you the story goes like this: A good arm of Sutter to the good hands of Dearth, the other backs, and the offensive ends, combined with quick feet, lots of desire and hard-line blocking resulted in a team of superior quality. Now mix in four (?) determined coaches, a little bad luck, a huge unit of inclement weather, a few loud mouth fans, a spirited cheerleading section, and darkness, and what do you get? A vicious team that enjoyed Friday nights playing smear the queer. You meet some awfully weird people on a football field and in the stands surrounding it. But then, what else are extra-curricular activities for? Assumption and Monroe at the line. What goes through a man’s mind while waiting for the signal to charge over that fellow on the other side of the narrow white line? Ask this defense, no, better still, see what they’ve done.
