GIRLS SPORTS The 1975-76 girls sports season has been very successful and provided girls with the opportunity to participate in activities that promote sportsmanship, school spirit, and physical fitness. With the discontinuation of GAA, a lot more girls went out for the travel- ing volleyball, basketball, and track teams. Not only did they leam skills while playing these different sports, but they also acquired good sportsmanship, which is especially need- ed when playing different schools in the con- ference. While participating in these sports, the girls can earn points, and with these points they can receive letters and pins. This year, for the first time girls may join the Varsity Club cfter earning a letter. 23

GOLF GOLF—Bottom Row P. Kamrath, M. Wolfe, S Mulryan. J. Ortman, P Abell, R Meincke 2nd Row B. Pulver, M. Gleiter, G. Satina, T. Isom, R Turner, S Horsman, The 1975-76 golf team had four returning lettermen. They were Steve Mulryan, Dennis Hayes, Brian Pulver, and Ron Meincke. The 1974-75 team was comprised mostly of underclassmen and Coach Kerkenbush was very optimistic about the chances of the 75-76 team finishing in the top division. The 74-75 team showed a lot of poise for their inexper- ience. They finished with an 8-1 record in dual meet competition, but they slipped on the day of the conference meet and ended up 5th. Coach Kerkenbush said that the last confer- ence meeting, he proposed a different format in determining the conference champion. In the past it was who ever had the hot hand on the day of the conference meet. The new proposal is a point system with one point going to the winner, and no points to the loser in a dual meet. Two points to the winner in a triangular meet, with one point going to second and none to third. The conference meet will still be very important in the sense that the point value will increase for that day. For example, first place is worth 10 points, second place 8 points, third 6 points, fourth 4 points, fifth 2 points and sixth no points. Coach Kerkenbush feels that the new point system will create more interest and add en- thusiasm with the dual and tri-angular meets having some value to them, other than just a practice round. 22

CHEERLEADERS Cheerleading began in June for eight of the girls when they attended a cheerleading camp in Stevens Point. After one week of strenuous practice of jumps, cheers, and stunts they re- turned to Pardeeville prepared to cheer on the Bulldogs. Many hours of scheduled practice began in August and continued until February. A lot of hard work and a lot of fun went into this year's group, but they also accomplished many dif- ficult stunts and precision cheers. Cheerlead- ing this past year taught them cooperation and has left them good friends. Seniors on 75-76 squad were Ellen Barth, Kris Briggs, Deb Grogan and Connie Kath.
