The girls follow suit kicking one by one until all of the Cougarettes kick in a circular chorus line. And that is how it is done! Cougarettes, an action team who performs during Cougar half times and cheers the players on to vic- tory. At the beginning of the school year tryouts are held and lO to l-4 girls are named as Cou- garettes. The girls practice two to three times a week and present two routines at each game. A sea- son highlight was the North Platte Junior College-Nebraska Western College game at North Platte. By special invitation, the Cougarettes attended a pre-game supper given in their honor by the North Platte Junior College Pom Pom Girls in North Platte. The girls exchanged ideas and later during game half time, NWC's Cougarettes provided entertainment. Pom poms fly as the Cougarettes tap out a snappy routine in the new gymnasium. -:'fT .Xe ,.-- gif'-m. ' V . ' ,fi . '- P' 1 ' 'ff' '- . V ,. ,, 1.
