WINTER CHEERLEADERS The pep squad divided once again into a fall pep squad and a winter pep squad. The new girls who had never been cheerleaders before had much hard work cut out for them with learning the cheers, attending NHS games and keep- ing up their studies. The winter pep squad attended the basketball games and other sports. They also held pep rallies to raise spirit at Norco High. They helped to bring Norco High lots of Cougar Pride. ■ r - ,. .
