Pam Jones, Head Varsity Cheer- leader, worked with the squad and planned important functions in- cluding pep assemblies. l.ast summer Varsity Cheer- leaders, sponsored by Mrs. Gravely, practiced every week working on new cheers and perfecting old ones. Also each member made posters to be hung before football and basketball games. In December the Varsity squad entered the first Roanoke Valley cheerleading contest, sponsored by the DeMolay. The squad won first runner-up in competition with five area schools. On April 20th newly chosen Varsity Cheerleaders attended a clinic at William Fleming High School.

The season was not a complete success, but many sup- porters felt that our domination of City-County football would be at- tained in the near future. The coaching staff of the Pat- riots, headed by Charles Tucker, believe that they laid down cz strong foundation on which to build teams. The coaches favored giving more people actual game experience, and the use of isomet- ric contraction, a body-building technique, was initiated.
