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.

Membership costs perspiration! It took coordination, agility, and a great deal of work to qualify for membership. After gaining membership, participants were al- lowed to run laps, do baseline drills, shooting drills, scrimmage, rebound drills, and compete as a team against other schools. They were even permitted to study playbooks and repeat useful techniques. We had two promising guards. Crystal Hudson and Donna Rowe; a fine center, Michele Horning; and a strong baseline with Mary Doyle and Robin Neidlinger, acknowledged Coach Barb Camden. The girls' basketball team did put forth a great deal of effort that will definitely pay off next season. We were a lot better than our record showed and we're going to prove it next year! commented Mary Doyle. Several ups and downs came along that a young team could overcome, added junior Robin Neid- linger. Despite those ups and downs, the team remained a close knit group, according to their coach, Miss Camden. All members will be returning next year with aj opportunity to display what they learned and expei! ienced. Our sophomores are very promising and shoul ; be an even greater asset next year, said Coac s Camden. With an 1 8-game season it was no wonder that th ; girls matured as a basketball team, stated Misi Camden. Reserve players gained valuable experience toe' with several close games resulting in a 4-11 seasoi! record. ' As mainly newcomers to the court, reserve mem bers faced the major obstacles of inexperience an(; stiff competition. Competition existed on the individual level also competition to excel and improve as guards, for- wards, or center. A certain amount of dedication was another in- gredient which allowed both teams to be cautiouslj optimistic for next season, in the words of Misj Camden. Team members also expressed a certain amount of optimism for the upcoming season. SAY WHAT? . . . Getting her team fired up during a time out, ROUNDING UP THE TROOPS . . .
