The definition of a JV Vikette would probably be A hard-working individual willing to give up practically every waking hour to whatever cause may arise. There are sixteen JV Vikette members. These individuals try out and are chosen for the squad at the beginning of each school year. The JV Vikettes contributed hard work and creativity to every varsity football and basketball game by preparing the hoops for the boys to run through. These girls are also required to attend every home varsity basketball game and cheer with the Vikettes and cheerleaders. Hot Lunch Jam, Red Light, I ' ve Done Everything For You, and Tonight I ' m Yours were just a few of the songs chosen by captains Kris Fusby and Becky Dubas for the Northwest Junior Varsity Vikettes to perform to this year. The JV ' s grand finale was the honor of serving at the Annual Athletic Banquet. JV ' S Add Personality to Their Routines wi Hp J §■■ ! ' ' . I HHHH HH I R?

Vikettes Add Style to Games The Northwest Varsity Vi- kettes busily prepared for per- formances by practicing very hard during the year. During the summer they placed third in final competition and first for home routine at the Doane College Clinic. They marched in the Shrine Bowl, Harvest of Harmony, and the Wayne State College Parades. The Vikettes kept the beat as they performed to many songs at Football and Basketball games. A new look was added to the Vikettes as they switched to flags during Football games. The climax for this year ' s Vikettes was performing as Flappers to Big Spender and the Woodchoppers Ball , and performing at Girls and Boys State Basketball. The Vikettes participated in other activities during the year such as sponsoring the Winter Sports Dance, helping with Pep Rallies, playing in the Powder Puff Football game, and holding the Raffle-A-Date.
