JUNIOR VARSITY--FIRST ROW: Jim Cheney, Uldis Terauds, Doug Rossman, Walter Smith, and Rick Reynolds. SECOND ROW: Gary Johnson, Cecil Boyle, Rick Harris, Bob Mabery, Dave Graham, and Coach Schneider. THIRD ROW: Gary Thompson, Jerry Swoish, Jim Robinson, Mickey Hogan, and Tom Jones. J.V. AND FRESHMEN HAVE GOOD SEASON The J.V.'s practiced hard even though they saw the season turning for the worse. They even practiced in a hail storm one day when the Varsity team ran for cover. This didn't do them any good because they had a 3-win 5 loss record at the end of the season. All in all they will be a very valuable asset to the Varsity team. The Freshmen had a 3-game schedule losing all three. They had a very wide range of size and weight (90-185 lbs.). The real thing that hurt the team was that their quarterback couldn't see over the line most of the time because he was only 4 ft. 11 in. The team had the will to win and will show a much better effort as J.V.'s. FRESHMEN--FIRST ROW: Bob Curell, Randy Moore, Jim Herron, Cliff Clendenan, Stanley Rogers, and Charles Snoblen. SECOND ROW: Bill Caldwell, Charles Cichoracki, Clayton Bell, Ken Snoblen, Tim Straight, Ed Fischer, Larry Peplinski, Manager, and Coach Hain. Absent: George Sari. 28

MASCOT AND MARCHING BAND VARSITY CHEERLEADERS PLUS ONE CHEERLEADERS AND VICTORY BELL 1st PLACE--FRESHMEN FLOAT-- BUG 'EM 2nd PLACE—SOPHOMORES-- SPREAD THE EAGLES Student Council President Dale Rhode led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag to begin the 1966 Homecom- ing Queen Election Assembly and Pep Rally. Donna Hebberd, 1965 Homecoming Queen, related what being queen meant to her. After which the can- didates for queen, Sara Hallock, Cheryl Patrick, and Suzanne Orr each told why they would like to represent HOMECOMING the North Branch student body as their queen. To the amusement of the student body, each girl was asked a humorous impromptu question. Ballots were then cast by the students and then counted by the Student Council. Highlights of the Pep Rally led by Varsity Cheer- leader, Kathy Bodmer were: the Varsity Football Squad acting out a cheer, Larry Hallock helping the cheer- leaders out, Coach Don Gleeson and Louise Sari each giving a pep talk and the cheerleaders in gay pajamas acting out The Night Before Homecoming, written by Mrs. Asa Costello. There was a noisy moment as the Sophomores were announced as having won the Victory Jug for cheering the loudest. Leading the Parade which followed immediately was Kathy Lake on her Bronco-Blanketed (made by Miss Joy Johnson) horse, Dutchess, our new school mascot. Our Bronco Marching Band, led by Candy Younger and Marsha Caldwell, our majorettes, sounded out the ex- citement of the floats to follow. 3rd PLACE--SENIORS— LEADING THE WAY
