Alertness tops Spirited year How does it feel to be a Crusader? How does it feel to be WAY UP THERE? Cheerleaders, whether varsity, reserve or frosh, knew the answer. Lookin' good is really only a small part of cheerleading, according to Ruthie Roeschlein. Cooperation is the most important part. You can't argue among yourselves. You have to get along. This is even more important than working hard and stay- ing in shape, remarked Ruthie. New cheers added zip to pep sessions and games. Some were introduced by Kathy Brooks, who spent her first two years of high school at Lawrence North, and borrowed a few ideas there. Not only new cheers, but creative pep sessions provoked positive comments from students and fac- ulty. The cheerleaders in Halloween costume, facul- ty dressed as spooks and creeps, players taking part in sack races, banana-eating and bubble gum- chewing contests — all added interest. A climax at the last pep session was the arrival of Mr. Steve Papesh, former dean, in a familiar feath- ered costume.

spunk, humor lift low morale Hasty as reserves, had an advantage. Senior Kevin Elmore, however, seemed to keep cool even in tight situations. It was his foul shot which tied the Muncie South game and sent it into overtime. Jeff Barras was leading scorer, averaging 14 points per game as opposed to his reserve average of seven per game. He also excelled in rebounding. Mark Howard, 6' 5 center, remarked, If we work hard this summer, we should be tough. After all, Chatard only beat us by two, and they went to regional finals. Reserves did a little better, with a 6- 1 1 record. Joe Logan pointed out that much improvement could be ieen over the season by looking at the two Arlington ?ames. They really beat us bad in the first game, 31-29, but by the time we played them again in the ;ity tourney, we only lost by three. The spunky reserve team beat Ft. Wayne Snider, in undefeated team. Since they had a lack of height, hey had to win by doing a lot of blocking. Paul tVard at 6'2 was the tallest reserve player. Many eserve teams have a lot of juniors, said Logan, and most of us were sophomores. Two juniors, Scott Reed and Mike Fleetwood, filled out the team. Paul Ward led the team in total points, with 125, and rebounds, with 87. Joe Logan had the best field goal accuracy, averaging a .527. Tim Jeffers led the team in assists and steals, and also served as team captain. The team showed tremendous improvement, ac- cording to Coach Tim Feezle, finishing by winning four of their last five games. Laughing, freshman Bradd Roembke said, Our season? Well, it wasn't very good. We weren't ready for our first game. Our problem was mostly getting outrun toward the ends of games. One of our best games was against Ritter. We only lost by three, although four of our starters were sick and we only had seven or eight players there. Games against Tech and Arlington proved close with four and seven point spreads. John Pierce and Dan McCarthy were mentioned as outstanding players. Reserve Basketball Season Wins 6 Losses II Scecina 25 .Marshall 38 29 Arlington 61 43 Howe 59 44 Chatard 39 51 F.W.
