We say PURPLE ... You say GOLD! ketball season. Sherrard's football cheerleaders were excellent considering that half of the them were new to the squads. Our junior varsity and var- sity both made it through very hot and some very cold games with a good amount of spirit. It was only on those rare, terribly rainy games that their spirit may have dwindled a little, but who's didn't? Sometimes they were even so loud that the football players could hear them on the |m field; no one could ever complain that they weren't loud enough. The three new junior varsity and the three new varsity adapted rather well and rather quickly to the experienced six. In order to see everyone's abilities, they tried a couple new cheers and pyramids. The crowd generated such a positive response that they carried those over into bas- The football cheering season went very well. The cheerleaders worked hard and it definitely paid off. The crowd even had some spirit; they would do such things as the wave and silent cheers. The cheerleaders even got the Boosters into the spirit though they were not always successful. v .» -• V. » •.- • Top: One of the new pyramids- wonder if they're in pain?

MORP ... What a great idea! Morp was quite an experience for those who dared to enter the commons on November 7th. It was not just another dance or soc-hop Morp was the total opposite of prom- an indication was its name. MORP- prom spelled backwards. Those who attended came in sweats and t-shirts to complement the decorations which consisted of toilet paper and newspapers The masterminds behind this operation were AFS, and though AFS was organized enough to set up the dance, something had to go wrong That something was the music. The dance started at 7:28:03, but the music didn't start until 8:29:02 due to speaker trouble. Then followed the crowning of the Morp King and Queen. Chosen by drawing tickets out of a can. King Jeff Yeater and Queen Michelle Frisch were utterly overjoyed. People continued to dance until 10:28:09 when the dance ended. All walked out with quite a memory, whether good or bad.

Sherrard's basketball cheerleaders were what one would Ya gotta believe! call outstanding! By this time having gone through foot- ball season, everyone was experienced. They took ad- vantage of this and put together some well-constructed pyramids. When the pyramids were performed, the re- sponse was overwhelming! This does not mean that they were mistake-proof. There were several incidents when a cheerleader or two tumbled right off the top. This did not stop them; they just learned to take their time. Some say that all of our cheerleader's success was due to their hard work, but what about the hard work of their co- sponsors, Mrs. Hutchins and Mrs. Clawson'? The two were both new to the sport of cheerleader sponsoring , and they both did an exceptional job. They always kept the cheerleaders organized and kept reminding them of the rules while keeping their own busy schedules.
