Cheerleaders
A staff poll at half time in the
Junior Mustang game last Thurs-
day showed a lot of appreciation
for the fine display our cheer-
leaders enacted. The routines
were well choreographed, the
timing was excellent, the cheers
were beautifully easy to hear dis-
tinctly, and the girls all showed
fine enthusiasm. The girls put on
an excellent show.
