.Lal A Jig' QA .- LV ' Ja. Al X. Q B Ta 4 Spirited Cheerleaders Generate Enthusiasm The most spirited group in the school this year was the Cheerleaders. They were responsible for bolstering the teams' morale and generating enthusiasm among students. This year, under the direction of Miss Nicholas, their new advisor, twelve girls were chosen to represent the varsity squad led by captain Debbie Christie and co-captain Betsy Preuss. At the same time, the iunior varsity squad was chosen. Linda Buzby and Janet Zawod- niak were elected captain and cot-captain, respectively. Several hours a week were devoted to practicing for the football, wrestling and basketball games. Money making proiects included a dance, bake sale and holding a shoe-shine day in late winter. Proceeds from these activities were used to finance the All-Sports Breakfasts for the Varsity Iettermen at the end of each season. L t. .L ,fa . 'J Q' r ' ' , V 5 . I 'gi-Y .

Sponsoring forty-five minute assembly programs involves diligent work and expert organization. Coordinating twenty-nine of these programs was the challenging task of the Assembly Committee. i970 brought the addition of iuniors and sophomores to the committee. Each member, selected by faculty advisor Mr. James Sochan, had a long-ranged goal of providing students with a diversified series of assembly programs over three yearsf-the total years spent in high school. Every assembly was designed not only to entertain, but to educate as well, while the assemblies as a whole were to provide a broad spectrum of experiences for every student. Members of the committee learned the true meaning of rsponsibility when fulfilling their duties of choosing, con- tracting, organizing and coordinating all assembly programs. Too often, the efforts of the Assembly Committee were lost amidst the applause for the performers themselves. However, the committee itself deserved applause for the hours and effort spent in preparing the assembly programs. 151
