Spirit Builders Spark Enthusiasm Eleven men on the field Five onthe court Nine onthe diamond Thousands in the school Thousands more in the City. All of these people come to either participate in or to enioy the excitement and entertainment offered by the various Westwood High sports teams. Leading all of these people in the roar of enthusiasm which greets the members of the various teams falls upon the shoulders of our six cheerleaders. These girls, under the direction of Louise Wright, spend many hours to develop the skills necessary to lead the crowds in yells, to promote school spirit and to boost team morale. A game, however, is not iust action, it is not just pass, dribble, or pitch. There is more-for more. There is the excitement of the pre-game show, there is the pageantry at intermission, there is the mighty demonstration when a winning touchdown is made, a ball goes through the net, or a run is batted in. Much of the colorful drama portrayed is provided by our Warriorettes, headed by co-captains Debby White and Suzanne Hamilton. These twenty-four girls devote three afternoons after school, one class period a day, and at times there are additional practice sessions scheduled, in order that a show which is worthy of Westwood High can be enacted. Both the Cheerleaders and the Warriorettes must be considered an intregal part of our sports program.
