Sweetheart Crowned Basketball season drew to a close with the crowning of the Sweetheart three days before St. Valentines Day. Varsity and JV teams voted Donna Thorton for the title out of other candidates whom they had selected the week before. Varsity cheerleaders sponsor this event each year and in the past, the crown was given to the girl who collected the most money for the Cheerleaders fund. However, due to the national economic situation this year, Mr. Miller ruled out that stipulation. The Basketball Sweetheart court and queen became a total team selected honor. Representatives were: Kathy Wallace, Kathy Collins, Denise Baker, Robin Collins, Kaye Fox, Rhonda Coleman, Teresa Lang, Connie Whitaker, Tammy Hinton, Donna Thorton, Donna Swann, and Lisa Grella, Donna Thorton is crowned by former Basketball Sweetheart, Linda Cole. A crown of flowers and a box of Valentine’s candy were given as tokens of a very special night. There was some confusion in last-minute instructions before the halftime ceremony. In front of overflowing bleachers, Linda Cole takes her last walk before the crowning of the new Basketball Sweetheart. 32 BASKETBALL SWEETHEART

New Year — Renewed Enthusiasm ' After ;i fairly dormant previous year, the Keyettes took on a new glow under the direction of the new sponsors Miss Michelle Garvin and Mrs Marva Roberts. The school year, quite literally, got to rocking and rolling” with the first project of the year; a fifties day with an ensuing fifties dance. Both the day and the dance were attended with vigor and the Keyettes came out on top with a total in their treasury of three hundred plus. The dance was just the beginning. Under the leadership of Kim Ely, president, Melanie Bailey, vice-president, Karen Hughes, secretary, and Cindy Fisher, treasurer, the Keyettes performed services for both school and community. Along with district meeting, r allies, and ROT on alternate Sundays, the Keyettes still had time for dinner meetings, cookie- baking for the Red Cross Blood Mobile, and a Coaches Day for the York game. ’74-’75 has proven to be a new beginning for the Tabb High Keyettes and hopefully, a solid precedent has been established for the years to come.
