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.

Faculty and Students Work to Make WB- m if sinounied I N mmm u :gm H227- ll WIDE lv., 5 heal ....... fs It looks as though the girls have a big job ahead of them as they help Mr. Russell move to new facilities. Students move laboratory equipment from the old building into a waiting truck. Many volunteered their time to transport material to the new campus. 32 January 3'lst will stand out as a special day in the minds of many Nebraska Western students. This was the day students said good- by to the half-century-old building which had formally housed Scotts- bluff College, and stepped through the doors of the new, circular 52,700,000 Nebraska Western Col- lege. On moving clay, some students operated trucks between the old building and the new campus, while others helped to load and unload equipment. The work was hard and the hours long, but everyone agrees it was worth every minute of work. Rita Stahl and Bev Nichols assist the skeleton through the door of the old building. He now may be found at home in the new laboratory.
