Boosters Cheer Team on to Victory The three cheerleading squads of PMHS boosted everyone ' s spirit con- cerning sports activities such as cheering the football and basketball teams on to victories. The cheerleaders have experienced competition, and they know what team players are up against. The reserve and varsity squads par- ticipated at the Indiana State Fair competition with reserve singled out claiming fifth place trophy out of 74 squads. The freshmen girls won se- cond place at a cheerleading clinic held at PM in October. The girls attended De Pauw University to strengthen their skills. Varsity placed fifth out of 30 other squads at the camp. The Freshman squad didn ' t participate in this activi- ty. The cheerleading coaches were: varsity-Ms. Cynthia McClain, reser ' e-Mrs. Doris Kendall, and freshmen-Mrs. Marceline Penn- ington. The coaches helped the girls organize the planning of pep sessions, spirit days, and decorating lockers. They were required to carry a C average. Mat Maids was a boosting organization that promoted the wrestling team. They supported wrestlers by decorating their lockers the days of their meets, displaying posters, and promoting school spirit. The 1983-84 Mat Maids were Jody Pieper ' 84 (captain), Michele Butz ' 85, Cheryl Mussman ' 85, Shelley Hall ' 85, Tammy Collins ' 84, Marilyn May ' 85, Michelle Wade ' 85, Joy Hazelwood ' 85, Lisa Williams ' 85, and Amy Ernstein ' 84 . The Mat Maids were chosen for their participation in school ac- tivities, overall grades, and their en- thusiasm about becoming Mat Maids. They have earned money from car washes, candy sales, and garage sales. Profit goes towards uniforms and other expenditures concerning the wrestling team. Athletic Lettermen, sponsored by Mr. Gary Brendel, and Falcon Brigade, sponsored by Miss Sandra Mitchell were also clubs organized to encourage school spirit. Athletic Lettermen constructed hoops for the home basketball games which the players ran through while entering the gym. They were also responsible for working at school activities. The Turnabout Dance was planned by the Athletic Lettermen. The group sold chains and buttons as a fimd raiser to finance the ' 84 dance. The dance was on February 10 after the Bloomington North basketball game. Tony Presutti was the disc jockey. Laura Need ' 84 was President of the club; Kathy Brehob ' 84, Vice- President; and Chris Miller ' 84, Secretary Treasurer. The club con- sisted of 110 members. The Falcon Brigade was supported by Sandra Mitchell. This club was responsible for fan buses to and from boys ' and girls ' atheltic events. They also had arranged a Sock- Hop. The money raised was for a new costume for the Falcon Mascot. by Lisa Williams 62 BOOSTER m

Clubs Prepare for Life After Perry An important part of high school education is the preparation it gives a student for the years to come after graduation. Several clubs at Perry have contributed to this goal by ac- customing its members to activities involved in business, science, and home economics. The purpose of the Biology Club is to learn things over and above classroom instruction, said Biology Club Sponsor Dave Gerkensmeyer. Any student who was enrolled in a biology course was eligible to be a member of the Biology Club. Mr. Gerkensmeyer said that he was ex- pecting the director of the new zoo in White River Park to give a lecture for the members of the Biology Club. When asked about enrollment in this club, Mr. Gerkensmeyer said, It ' s a fairly small club, and it could be larger. fA CAREER CLUBS
