Tradition of Bee Cheerleaders Revived Liz Rodriguez Karen Stabile Chris Valle This year the Titans revived an old tradition, ab- sent frorn Pioneer since l962, by bringing back HBee cheerleaders. The cheerleaders were chosen at the end of last year by a coininittee of teachers and pep- sters on the basis of personality, poise, pep, and ability. Also figuring in their selection were citizenship and academic grades. Head 4'Bee', cheerleader for ,67-'68 was Liz Rodri- guez. Liz, a Junior, was responsible for niany unusual and interesting signs which kept popping up on campus just before Bee games. Chris Valle was the Hquietn ineniber of the squad -except during a garne or pep rally, when she would really let go, as would Chris Shubin. This Chris could really generate spirit, for which the successful MBees were happy! Bouncy Karen Stabile was one for jump- ing around, especially when she got excited over a touchdown or basket made by our guysf' Short, blonde Mindy Dixon rounded out the group with her all-around, ever-present pep and spirit. All-in-all, the Bees', were a welcome and success- ful addition to Pioneer's Pep Squad. Chris Shubin Mindy Dixon i

They did quite a bit toward organizing a good cheering section, making it one of the best Pioneer has ever seen. Good yell leaders donlt just happen overnight. During the suinincr our squad went to training camp at Redlands University. At cainp they did justice to the Pioneer name fl g'Come on, really yellll' encourages Chris Richardson and Marty liozano, two spirited ineinbers of the yell leading squad. Tully Titan. the school,s mascot, is learning to be a yell leader too. and brought back several awards, in- cluding one third-place ribbon which the yell leaders hold inost remarkable of all. This was earned one day after poor Liz Ramos had stubbed her toe. She eouldn't perform so the remaining four struggled through their routine without her, and the Titan Yell Lead- ers were most surprised to find they had rated third out ol fourteen other schools. 7 K K T ,rf I Y ,aff LE h . ., 1 fir' T N ern I 4 , nw, , ta--f' 7 'N i f 'il T is M an-5' 71' ..1gQf1 aims f, N Wgkl S1 I' ff gferg K -' 4 I l if!

Flagsters Add Dash of Color at Games and Assemblies The 1967-'68 flagsters did an outstanding job this year, attending all the football and basketball games and adding their spirit to that of the rest of the pepsters. Under the leadership of head flagster Nancy Stoughton, they worked out and learned many routines, often in a very short time. It was easy to tell that they enjoyed their jobs, because they were always ready to go, and if they dropped a flag occasionally, it didnlt matter. They really helped keep things going!
