Iunior Varsity promotes spirit Being a Iunior Varsity cheerleader was tough stuff. Only six girls were chosen to the squad this year, which meant they had to work extra hard, yell extra loud, and be extra energetic. Hard work and practice was routine, but the cheerleaders were always prepared to yell and jump for joy at the sight of a Northeast athlete. Their main goal was displaying pride of Northeast, a fact their spirit showed. Not only did they support the Charges during the games, but the cheerleaders were willing to give up their spare time too, This meant summer activities such as carwashes, and a carport sale, and they also served as spotters at a golf tournament at Burns Park. Iunior Varsity members attended a summer camp and proudly brought home the spirit stick awarded at the end of the session. Iudging from the endless spirit and capable performances, the Iunior Varsity Cheerleaders were supreme Charger fans. They were also an outstanding symbol of their Iunior class yell, The class that's more than great. Sandra Stanley Charge up-The junior Varsity cheerleaders form a pyramid at a Northeast pep assembly.

Chargettes march f to keep spirit up Ladies and Gentlemen, for your entertainment we now present the 1976-77 Chargettesf' This was a familiar introduction for the Chargettes, who provided entertainment for the Charger fans, at both basketball and football home games. The Chargettes worked for a marching drill team image. Accor- ding to captains Iulie Peoples and Keri Hibberd the student body re- acted better and showed more spirit when the group marched. Summer activities for the drill team proved successful. They worked hard in the early days of the summer to prepare for camp at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. The work paid off for the Chargettes won 12 individual rib- bons and a 3rd place trophy for marching. Thirty-eight members, the smallest number in recent years, made up the drill team. According to the captains the smaller number made it a lot easier to learn routines. Whether on the floor for assemblies or basketball games, or on the field for football games, the 38 precession marchers along with magical beat of the drum, kept fans well entertained throughout the year.
