to a Victorious Season Leadership ability, coordination, and appearance are cri- teria for selection of cheerleaders. All girls must have an interest in,sports and must have a real interest for cheerleading before they can try out. We were fortunate in having six girls who did a fine job in leading our team through the 1968-69 season. The 1968-69 varsity squad was composed of: Belinda Cox, and Connie Butt, Senior co-captains, Suzanne Hale, Toni Poer, Debbie Goudy, and Vicki Hinesley, Juniors. During the year these girls put in many after-school hours in order to spread enthusiasm throughout the student body. During the month of June they attended cheerleading camp where they received honors for their skill and for their spirit. The efforts of all athletic teams are improved when there is enthusiastic, organized vocal support from cheerleaders and cheering sections. Sophomore, freshmen and eighth grade girls comprised respectively the Junior Varsity, Freshmen, and Eighth Grade Cheering squads. These girls were certainly instrumental in the many victories enjoyed by the young Raider ball teams. Some of these girls will realize the highlight of their cheerleading careers by being chosen as varsity squad leaders. V 8th Grade Cheerleaders-L. to R.: Vicki Gosaage, Susan Oakes, Sharon Alspaugh Brenda Tryon and Susie Richey

Denny Reedy Center 84 Forward the I 968-69 Season With a veteran team consisting of two seniors and five juniors, the varsity basketball team registered an 11-10 record. The highlight of the season came when the Raiders won the Madison County invitational Tourney by downing the Frank- ton Eagles. During the first half of the season the Raiders had trouble finding a winning combination, but after the new year began they won seven games out of eight including victories in the Madison County Tourney. In the Madison County Tourney we downed the Highland Laddies by a score of 81 to 64. By defeating the Laddies we were eligible to move on to the semi-finals to meet the fast-moving Irish from Pendleton. We downed them by a score of 69 to 62 and moved on to the finals to meet the favorite of the tourney-the Frankton Eagles. With all of the pressure and excitement of the game, the Raiders were able to slip by the Eagles in a squeaker by a score of 59 to 58. The loss of only two seniors, Denny Reedy and Jerry Munden, both lettermen, left Coach Ray Pavy with a veteran team and a fine opportunity for a winning season in 1969-70. Returning for action will be five starters from the 1968-69 team, Mike Reno, Randy Clark, Rick Peckinpaugh, Bob Copeland, and Rick Conyers. Jerry Munden Guard
