The match scores were 15-5 and 15-3. That made the girls' season 6- 10. Team members warmed up for dis- trict competition by playing teams of equal or greater caliber. The San Mar- cos Tourney proved disappointing, however, as the team lost to Seguin and Temple. The Seguin scores were 8-15, 12-15 and the Temple scores were 8-15, 15-9, and 2-15. The girls thought they had a trying but satisfactory season. The team included 19 sophomores and five jun- rors. After each game, Coach Jane Pat- terson and all three teams dined together. -- Diana Putnam Caldwell Soto 2. Cathy Louis stretches before getting dressed for the game. 3.

Donut sales were disallowed because ot a wealth regulation, but nothing prohibited the continuation ot game cakes, which were speedily snarted down upon receipt by hun- gry players. - Denise Dyer YY wat I Y 31 Superstitions play an important part in cheerleaders' lives. Benetta Rusk wore the same pair of blue footies every Friday except one, that day Westlake lost. Teal Carroll went home Friday afternoons to nap in her birthday suit. Sandi lngraham wore the same - pair ot hose each game. She washed them between games, of course, but by the end of the sea- son, the hose were in shreds. Teri Wagner's ritual consisted of drinking a glass of iced tea every game day. 5 ' Evidence ofthe team's appreci- Nervousness during pep rallies was common among J.V. cheerleaders. When the season ended, the squad yelled confidently. STANDING: Lucy Poerner, Nell Pesl, Wendy Patterson. KNEELING: Elizabeth Bardin, Denise Dyer, Margaret Miller.
