Cheerleaders yell for touchdowns, Mariners had a lot to cheer about this year, with all the football and basketball teams having fine records. Because of this it wasn't hard for the cheerleaders to keep the crowds interested. In the gym and on the field, the girls cheered the teams on to the victorious end. At cheerleading camp last summer, the eighth and ninth grade squads each won the Most Outstanding Iunior High trophy. The eighth grade cheerleaders won two third place ribbons. The ninth graders won a fourth place ribbon and a skit ribbon. They also got on award for their pomporn routine. Mrs. Charlene Wright sponsored the ninth grade girls and Miss Carol Phelps sponsored the seventh and eighth grade cheerleaders. Could it be that good cheerleaders lead to good sportsmanship, and good sportsmanship leads to winning teams? 1 IOQ cheerleaders .. . Seventh Grade Cheerleaders. BOTTOM: Karen Trulu, Lisa Rogers.
