VIC TORT After many hours of practice learning cheers and routines, the Reserve cheerleaders could be seen at every Reserve game urging the team on to victory. Attired in blue jumpers with white blouses, Pat Lohse Vickie I-Iesterman, Rita Rohrs, and Tanya Young en- couraged the Junior Varsity to Go, Fight, Win . They also held a cake raffle to help defray some of their cheerleading expenses. Their Jr. I-Iigh counterparts, Pam Gerken, Debby Bremer, Jane King, and Pat Norden, also spent con- siderable time and effort. They followed the Jr. High basketball team on the season's schedule and tournament trail.

1 Three juniors and one sen- ior made up this year's varsity cheerleading contingent, which was the same as last season's reserve squad. These four girls, juniors Becky Miller, Marcille Beck, and Betty Von Deylen, and senior Linda Bostelman, were chosen in the spring of 1966 so that they could attend a cheerleading camp in the summer and have more time to practice their routines. Early in the fall the cheer- leaders picked out bright blue sailors' outfits trimmed in white for their uniforms. Cap- tained by Marcille Beck and assisted by Mrs. Dan Norris, the squad organized the pre- season Pep Rally, sponsored dances and cake raffles, and always kept the school 10070 behind the team.

The rally included a snake dance through the streets of Ridgeville, a bonfire, and a dance afterwards. One of the main attractions of the snake dance was the Spiritmobile , below. Besides its obvious value to the spirit of the evening, it was used to transport the rnascots of opposing teams to the bonfire. There they were burned at the stake , just as the Falcons' opponents would be during the season.
