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.

Led by Captain Linda Bonner and Co-Captain Rena Carlino, the squad developed creative and entertaining half-time shows, their favorite being set to the music of El Cumbanchero. Beyond the spectacle of the half-time performances were many practices demanding dedication and hard work. The girls practiced every day after school and on Saturdays to produce routines of quality and precision for which they are known.. ln addition to performing at football games the squad participated in Fanwood's 75th Anniversary Parade, the New Brunswick Band Festival, a semi-pro football game half-time show and the Memorial Day parade. 154
