Cheerleaders Buoy School Spirit
|
This Year as the sport season of Washington High began, cheerleading tryouts were held and the cheerleaders were chosen by the student body. These ten represented the "A" and "B" squads. Four of last years's "A" squad were re-reelected. The new recruit was Ardy Skoog, a former member of the "B" squad. | Pictured here in their popular "Boom Doom" yellBeverly Moulton, Kitty Bender, Gailene Benson, Ardy Skoog, and Mary Jo Mraz | "Boom Doom" | Pictured in formationPat Karlson, Colleen Morley, Deanna Presttun, & Marie Haff who along with Malon Waring (not shown in this picture) formed the "B" squad | >/tr> The Spontaneous spirit, pep, and enthusiasm inspired by these groups spread and held the attention of the crowd at each athletic event. Their cheers not only boosted the team's morale, but also encouraged the support of the crowd. With the help of their advisor Miss Idelle Hornes, the Cheerleaders worked out a variety of Warrior yells and songs. Both groups sported new uniforms this year, and the "A" squad acquired new headdresses and tomahawks. This year, for the first time, they were enrolled in the National Cheerleaders Association. | Shown with their pom-pomsBeverly Moulton, Kitty Bender, Gailene Benson, Ardy Skoog, and Mary Jo Mraz. |
