Compiling an overall 10-8 record, the Trojan team was highly successful despite the loss of several players. Sammy Shields, a se- nior who was one of our most valuable play- ers, was lost early in the season due to an ankle injury. Three other players were lost for various reasons, but spirit and cooperation pulled the team through. Hours of practice brought the techniques of steady rebounding and smooth ball handling to a near perfection, and what the team lacked in height was supplied by high jump- ing. Only three seniors will be lost, Jimmy Dodd, Sammy Shields, and George Lewis. RECORDS BROKEN DURING 1968-69 SEASON 1. Jerry Hairston — Most Rebounds in Single Game — 25 2.

SECOND ROW: Edley Mobley, Marsha Altice Co-Captain, Judy Thompson. THIRD ROW: Ruth Scarce, Co-Captain. Spirit was wrought out of the crowd by the gay captive liveliness of the cheerleading squads. Working together, the girls proved to be an effective factor in cheering the boys on to victory. Both the football and basketball squads were clad in new uniforms this year. Also, a new addition to the basket- ball cheerleader were the pom-pons. The students were encouraged, as well as the teams, by the leadersliip of the cheerleaders at pep rallies, the making of posters before the games, and conducting festive barnfires. The squads, coupled with the abun- dant students’ spirit, made for high spirited and winning seasons. “COME ON TEAM!” yell the cheerleaders, “Tunstall’s got the power!” 87
