Varsity squad takes 1st at county fair, 3rd at state Cheerleading season opened early in July for the ten PHS girls attend- ing camp at Vincennes University. The busy week climaxed as the re- serve and varsity squads both won their third first place ribbons and the spirit stick on the last day of enthusi- astic competition. Returning from camp, the varsity entered the Kokomo cheerleading contest where they bagged the sec- ond place trophy. Both squads then turned to preparations for the county and state fair competitions. Long hours of practice paid off as the varsity and reserves placed first and second respectively at the county fair and third and twelfth at the state fair. With all competitions over the girls turned to organizing Quaker spirit, decorating hallways, and en- couraging Red Pride athletes from the sidelines. Not a formal organization until basketball season, the cheerbloek was a smaller group than the year before but expremely loyal. Members fre- quently dipped into their own pock- ets for money to decorate lockers, homes, and team buses. Excitement mounted as sectionals approached. For the first time, girls of the cheerbloek sported borrowed letter sweaters at school. And, in their last pep session, four of their number received kisses of thanks from varsity ball players. Five minutes of deafening pandemonium is sustained by the Red Pride cheerbloek as the Quaker line-up is announced for the last game of the sectionals. “Fight! Fight! chant reserve cheerleaders Caren Bare, Carol Masselink, Debbie Hunter, and Sybil Storms during pre-game warm ups at the sectionals. Pyramiding support for the Quakers on their home floor, the varsity cheerleaders take ad- vantage of a time out in the first quarter. “Oh-h-h-h! varsity cheerleaders Debbie Ris- sler, Jenny Ping, Carol Goodwin, Carol Hum- phrey, Linda Whalen, and Rhonda Dieckinan moan as the Grccncastlc Tigers score their first and only touchdown in the Homecoming game. Rain fails to dampen the enthusiasm of varsity cheerleaders Linda Whalen and Rhonda Dieckinan braving the elements to cheer the mighty Quakers on against Speedway. Up in the air, reserve cheerleaders Sybil Storms, Debbie Hunter, Caren Bare, and Carol Masselink rejoice at another Red Pride touchdown. 14 CHEERLEADERS
