Varsity Cheerleaders: Sitting: Nancy Keating, Annette Robin-son. Standing: Judy Wyngarden, Aprill Dennis, Aynn Crowell. This year the cheering at the varsity games was led by these five spirited girls. Thinking up new cheers, making posters, planning pep rallys, and prac- ticing through out the year wasn't always easy but these girls kept it up and certainly made the school proud of them. The Frosh-Soph cheerleaders also worked hard this year and by keeping the games lively and peppy the attendance to these games increased. For all their time and energy these girls too deserve our applause. CHEERLEADERS Frosh-Soph Cheerleaders: Sally Jo Hoppe, Jerilou Herman Nancy Allen, Shirlene Ford, Johnnette Nichols.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS Besides presenting an opportunity for girls to participate in various sports, the G.A.A. also afforded fun and relaxation at num- erous hikes, outings, and parties. Starting out the year with the annual get acquainted bar-b-que, the ,Girls Ath- letic Association continued with a breakfast hike and slumber party. After a day of initiating the newcomers, all the G.A.A.ers went out to Herricks Lake for a steak fry. In December the girls collected and re- paired toys which they gave to the Mex- ican children at a Christmas party. The year ended with the unforgettable over- night. Tournaments in soccer, volleyball, bad- minton, and softball filled the sports schedule for G.A.A.ers every Monday and Wednesday throughout the year. Student Leaders is an organization of iunior and senior girls interested in acquir- ing and developing additional skills in various sports. Miss Rust as sponsor also helped to give the girls practical experience using the fundamentals taught in the gym classes. Volleyball and basketball were the principal sports played on Thursday eve- nings. Several trips were made by the Student Leaders to the Geneva State Train- ing School for Girls in nearby Geneva to present a Christian testimony through active play. This year saw the formation of a new pep club known as the Girls' W Club. This consisted of a girls who were both seen and heard at Academy athletic events. The Girls' W Club was evident with their waving pom-poms of maroon and white accompanied by their enthusiastic encour- agement. The spirit which these girls added to the games was greatly appreciated by the Academy teams. It is hoped that from this beginning, the Girls' W Club in fu- ture years will be equally as enthusiastic at the games and through further organ- ization sponsor additional activities.
