CHEERLEADERS Kay Gm' Hard work and sacrifice is the routine of our praise- worthy cheerleaders. What would we do without them? Their school spirit and vitality is an essential element in the basketball picture here at St. Ben 's. Congratulations girlsl Leaving us after three long years of unselfish work are Mary Ann Jamail and Kay Gerst. Few people realize the responsibilities of a cheerleader. ln these three years of service, these girls have carried out these responsibilities by, giving up much of their spare time improving their cheers, adding new ones, and planning pep meetings. One of their biggest iobs is to keep up the team's spirits when they are low, and to lead the Irish fans in cheering their team to victory. Also leaving us this year is Barbara Herbert who has given us a year of fine co-operation and cheerfulness with the rest of the girls. These girls have considered cheering a privilege and we hope that our future cheerleaders will follow in their footsteps. Pat Saliba, a iunior, holds the unique record of being a cheerleader since her freshman year. See you next year, Pat. A special treat for everyone was our new little cheer- leader, Theresa Sullivan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Sullivan. She cheered at all the home games and took good care of the little Irish mascot. KT Mary Ann Jamail Barham Ilerberl Pat Saliba EN 9... Theresa Sullivan
