fr Open mouths signify the vehemence of the yelling as the junior high cheerleaders jump for the ceiling. Senior High Cheerleader Dolores seems to be showing Renee, Linda, and Sandy a few tricks. leaders who practiced awfully hard to lead yells at the rally before Homecomingg Ron- nie Baxter did a fine job impersonating Bev, while Frank Picon and Ruly Quezada took Dolores' and .Iolene's places. The boys even squeezed into some old uniforms for the occasion. Also playing an important part during basketball season were the junior high cheerleaders, who led yells at all C games and, on occasion, for the heavyweight team. The girls, who are required to be ninth graders or under, were Linda Sayre, Sandra Mosman, and Renee Garton. The songleaders were selected by the student council, but the cheerleaders' names were put on the ballot and elected along with other student body officers. On the football trip to Bishop these girls were treated to dinner by the student body along with the others who worked so hard to make a good show for our school.

Without Ruth's and Dorothy's vigorous per- formances much enthusiasm for the band's pep tunes would be lost. Most of the pep and spirit of our athletic events was centered on our cheerleaders and songleaders. This was only the second year in our school that we have had song- leaders, but the cheerleaders have been a regular tradition for many years. Leading the songs to the music of our high school band were Dorothy Rhodes, Ruth Lopez, and Nola Mund. Nola left, however, at the end of football season, and the other two girls carried on without her. During one assembly Nola, without re- hearsal, beat out the rhythm to Dragnet The three girls cut out and made their own outfits and pom-poms, under the guidance of Mrs. Noel. The three cheerleaders-Beverly Comp- ton, Jolene Swearingen, and Dolores Por- tillo--led crowded bleachers of rooters in well known school cheers throughout the football and basketball seasons. We mustn't forget our substitute cheer- Jolene Swearingen J Dolores Portillo Ruth Lopez 40
