Tigerettes Add Spark to Game Activities Advisor Nancy Johnson, LEFT, and captain Nancy Nelson select music for a dance number. All home football games, home basketball games and pepfests have one thing in common—the 73-74 Tigerettes perform. The squad of 15 girls also perform at homecoming, snow days activities, marching band concerts and sports previews. Members of the dance line were chosen after try outs in the spring which are open to all interested girls. At tryouts and practice sessions, candidates learn how to do different kicks and splits. Each girl must present an original dance. The dance line practices during the summer to have routines ready for the fall football preview and first pep fest events. Rehearsal sessions usually run two hours. Costumes are planned and each girl makes her own costume for the particular number. By the end of the season, five different costumes are made for each member. 21

Varsity Basketball Team Goes to Region Play ABOVE: The ball seeems to balance on the fingertips of Lee Chayer, No. 21, as he makes a basket in the Washburn game. RIGHT: Tim Klug steals the ball in a rebound from a Washburn player. OPPOSITE ABOVE: Lee Chayer, forward, dives for possession of the ball while Tim Klug, Center, also tries to get the ball. OPPOSITE BELOW: Bob Torgerson, No. 11, gets off a jumpshot while a Washburn player guards closely. The varsity basketball team played Spring Lake Park in the Region 5 meet and won the first game. The team lost the second game against West and did not go on. The overall season record for conference play was 3—11. Junior Lee Chayer, captain, averaged 13 points each game and was the high scorer of the team. Junior Bob Torgerson was second and he averaged 10 points per game. Coach Eric Magdanz stated that Junior Tim Klug was perhaps the best defensive player this season. All three will be returning for basketball varsity next year with valuable play experience behind them. Sophomore basketball coach Dave Berg had a good turn out of promising players. A well balanced and a tall team for sophomores had an overall record of 18—3. The team placed second in the sophomore city meet and second in regular sophomore conference play. The sophomore team has not done that well since 1957 according to school records.
