Cheerleaders - team behind the team WHS cheerleaders showed enthusiasm and spirit by conducting rallies and leading the pep club at all games. Three squads of cheerleaders were chosen for the first time at WHS. In addition to varsity and reserve cheerleaders, four girls were picked to handle the duties at wrestling matches. This helped relieve the pressure during the hectic winter months. The fourteen girls tried new “boosters ’ throughout the year. Ideas included boot and warrior day as well as new cheers and chants. Practicing takes a lot of time for varsity cheerleaders. Odetta Christensen. Anne Graff, Debbie Christensen. Tracy Christensen. Wendy Barry, and Susan Hansen. Debbie Laudenback. Nancy Stewart.

Thunderbird becomes a class project The 1974 “Thunderbird” and “Chieftain” were produced by journalism classes this year. The journalism department was extended and thus two courses were offered under the supervision of Mrs. Carol Duncan. Students majored in either annual or newspaper production, but all learned the skills of both. Various skills learned included headline writing, page layout, copy writing, and photography. The “Chieftain” was published approximately once a month by 3rd period students. The major publication of the year was the “Thunder-bird , however. “Faces was chosen as the theme for the yearbook by the 2nd period staff. A major part of the theme was the photography. Students, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Duncan, shared the photography duties. Students in both classes helped with the huge task of organizing and producing the annual. A special touch was added to the memory book by Mr. Jack Miller, WHS art teacher. He designed and drew the cover to correspond with the theme. Bruce Kuenning, Bob Nelson, and Mark Simmerman work on copy for the sports section of the ••Chieftain.
