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.

70' ' tweak Homecoming! To Trona High students this means greeting the old grads, toasting on one side and freezing on the other while watching the bonfire, or shouting yourself hoarse in the car parade. This 12th Homecoming mea- sured up to all those preceding and in some respects even surpassed them. Friday Started It Raul Quezada, Ronnie Baxter, and Frank Picon mimicked the cheerleaders in a light- hearted assembly engineered by the C. S. F. to begin the weekend. In the evening after a beeping, screeching car parade which in- cluded a traveling band, approximately 850 people crammed the aud for the rally. As usual, Earl Knowles, M. C., enjoyed sharing the stage with these lovely girls - Queen Ada Rae Wellbaum, Princesses Shari McKean and Marian Reece, and Attendants Diane Cassel, Phyllis Oswald, Edna Hudson, Jay- deen Burke, Dorothy Goodman, Roberta Wil- son, and Mary Ellen Still. The team climbed out of their uniforms long enough to be intro- duced. Tommy Burke, QB Club president and guest speaker, cautioned the boys to fight but fight fair. Up in Smoke Next there was a general exodus to watch the newly elected co-captains, Wesley Plam- beck and Ronnie Baxter fsee cutj, ignite the bonfire. Simultaneously the T was outlined in flames as the seventh and eighth grade boys lit the torches. Led by our majorettes and their energetic mascot, Kathy Skibinski Csee cutj, the float parade began promptly at noon. Mirroring the town's reaction to the game, the QB Club float showed a Tornado roaring through the Needles team and leaving them prostrate. Win Streak Renewed A fitting climax to the weekend was the 32-6 trouncing Trona gave Needles to renew our winning streak in Homecoming games. No hard feelings, however, were brought to the dinner for the two teams, the coaches, and their dates. The dance afterwards was packed with students and alumni. Students thronged around Art Large of Needles as he, with Ronnie Baxter on the drums, beat out I Don't Know. Blues numbers by Art fsee cutj continued to hold everyone spellbound.
