unw r. .. .ng mx-u-Imlw, .- wmgvM-v-vv-v-vvnsa emu Vx , Girls Show Outstanding Season Enthusiasm and patience paid off for the SCHS girls varsity basket- ball team. Working with a tough schedule all season, and only playing two 1-A schools, they managed to pull off a record of 19-9, which took them all the way to the state finals held in Forland, Mis- souri. The excitement of going to state was soon replaced by a feeling of bitter disappointment, when the' girls were defeated in the first game - against Niangua. ttIt was a good game, but I believe we got a raw deal from the referees? a fuming Angela Hyde disclosed. Having a tough season didntt decrease the girls spirit, they kept in shape with practice after school. ttIt was a good season? reflected Coach Patty Henderson, ttthe girls worked hard and tried their best? Giving support to, and working with the varsity - the J.V. girls started out with a difficult schedule also. Not doing as well as the varsity, the J.V.Iended the season knowing that they would be able to return the following year to try again. ttI see next year as a rewarding season, with the exper- ienced girls taking over and helping the newcomers, reassured Miss Henderson. Even through their trials and disappointments, all the girls were able to look back on the season with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy and know that they had grown from the experience and were ready to prepare for next year.

.4. a Nu nu... yqz-gn-um-WL Ready? Okay! ',, ltIrish want a Victory! Hey! Hey This was just one of the cheers used to get our school spirit flowing at football as well as basketball games. Getting school spirit 0n the rise was the responsibility of the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity cheer- leaders. The girls sometimes prac- ticed three to four days a week after school, working on voice, cheers, and formations. The cheerleaders were easily seen at games with their uniforms of kelly green and white. The new varsity uniforms had gold on them also to match the boys new varsity uniforms. The variety of uniforms let the different squads be unique and yet, united. To see the girls smiling faces and hear their enthusiastic voices had its influence on the student body by getting everyone in a wild and crazy mood which was reflected in the crowds roar. gI was so glad that the Homecom- ing game was my first game to be back cheerleading. I had such a blast? exclaimed Debbie Collins, a varsity cheerleader. Debbie was unable to cheer for four months because of an acute cervical strain due to an auto accident. ltThis year was the best cheerlead- ing year I have ever had. The JV squad was like a family of sisters? reflected JV captain Dionne Fir- min. The twisting, turning, jumping and yelling to help keep spirit going all during the games was a challenge well accomplished.
