With such wonderful teams to represent our school we couldn't help but enjoy every minute of our cheering sessions! We hope we helped in some measure toward the success of the teams. None of us will soon forget some of the off-the-record instances which spotlighted our season: janet's lack of a note so she wouldn't have to ride the bus fresult: one lost clieerleaderj the uniform skirts almost not being finished on time for the jamboree, and Mr. Lynch four number one problemj who refused to acquire cheering techniques, and so on and so on and so on! It's been a good gay season and we fMary Lou, Sally,justine, Virginia, Roberta, and janetj wish to thank the student body, faculty, and the townspeople for their co-operation in making our work so much fun.
