Wrestling Cheerleaders Attend Hastings Clinic Out of 28 cheerleading squads attending a four-day clinic on the Hastings College campus, the NHS wrestling cheerleaders placed third in competition. The clinic was sponsored by the American Spirit Association. The squad, including three seniors and one junior, cheered for a total of 11 meets, three of which were tournaments. For out of town matches they rode on the bus with the wrestling team. Monday nights after school were spent by the reserve cheerleaders in practicing and making up cheers for upcoming games. The squad led cheering for reserve football and both reserve and sophomore basketball games. Summer practices and helping in pep rallies also kept the reserve cheerleaders busy. The five sophomore girls were chosen by the Pantherettes after tryouts which were held last spring. Left: Wrestling cheerleaders are Nancy Sintek, Louise Monson, Peg Niewohner and Diane Schreiber.
