Varsity Pepsters Spark Enthusiasm, School Spirit Pass the lemon, quick! I’m number 12 and number 11 is going in now!” This was one cry heard as the clusters of girls moved anxiously toward the door, awaiting their turn at try-outs. Late that night, after long hours of contemplating everything from victory to suicide, the chosen nine” were informed that they were to be the ’64-’65 Varsity Cheerleading squad. Through the sum- mer, under the able leadership of Captain Mac,” they practiced twice a week encountering everything from apple-throwing battles with neighboring youngsters to pure hard work. Practices improved — not to mention skill in apple-throwing — and in August the 4 Senior and 5 Junior girls who composed the squad attended the Varsity Review in Portsmouth where cheers were exchanged. Excitement mounted as the pepsters greeted new Farmers on Orientation Day. Maybe there were a few goofs” in the per- formance, but a few laughs quickly put the students at ease. September 11 . . . the big day! The pep assembly was a great success and school spirit high for the first football game. The season was one of pleasant surprises with the defeat of Newport News and Hampton in football and also one of un- predictable fun and mishaps for the cheerers, including cheerleader Farmer Jimmy.” Straw hats, plaid shirts, and blue jeans piled into the’ auditorium on rainy Farmer Day for a crowded but spirited assembly. Two more pep assemblies were held during the year — one during foot- ball season and one in the gym for the Newport News basketball game — as well as numerous outdoor pep rallies. Excitement . . . fun . . . worry . . . tears . . . laughter . . . trips to away games . . . Shoney’s and Burger Chief’s ... a pajama party . . . pictures . . . promoting school spirit . . . were each a real part of the experiences of the ’64-’65 Varsity Cheering Squad. We’ve got a team — nobody’s better! And if ya‘ can ' t bear us . . .!” urge Mary Pat Tull and Faye Dickinson.
