Cheerleaders Ignite Spirit with First Girl-Boy Squad N Perry Bean we V' ' i l rm .1 l l hp il ,J l - l i l tp B Wayne Brown F in . Q33 it lVlitchell's varsity cheerleaders initiated many fresh ideas into their squad during the 1968-1969 school year. Students supporting try-outs last spring saw the election of six returning girls and the innovation of two boy cheerleaders. At a cheerleading clinic in Logan, Utah, the eight seniors learned the straight-arm style of cheering as well as a variety of new cheers and nonsense chants. Throughout the school year the squad added several gymnastic stunts that required a minimum of two practices a week. Sponsored by Nlrs. Charleen Colvin and lVlr. Charles Gaul, the cheerleaders attended all sports events and morale committee meetings and strove to improve school unity and spirit. Members ofthe varsity squad were Marcia Blake- more, Julie Cox Chead cheerleaderj, Elaine Earnest, Cindi lVlinor, Sue Rowley, Beth Taylor, Perry Bean, and Wayne Brown.
