Cheerleaders End
’Si-’SS Season
By Pat Lentz
„_J£. any of Behrend's students
-had.been -wondering about the
-..-weird noises .they heard echoing
from-. Erie Hall almost every day
at 30 P. M., they can stop
wondering, it /was only the peppy
Center’s cheerleaders ' hard at.
work practicing their skills- They
began holding practice sessions
.early .in November under the able
direction of Jan Jackson.
The work. they put into origina
ting the words and motions to
every cheer was-worth it, as any
ohe' attending 'the games can
jprove.'They have done a fine job
this' season), having cheered at
every, home game- and several of
the' away games, proving . their
capability, win or lose- .
. .The girls created their _ own
snappy blue and,.white uniforms
in, their, spare -time They spent
several days before the first game
industriously, cutting put mater
ial and’ sewing each piece to
gether, either -by hand ,of on the
treadle sewing machine in the
dorm. They sported white, cir
cular corduroy skirts, and con
trasting navy sweat shirts
: The cheerleaders expended al
most as much energy preparing
for the games, as they did in
going' through their cheers during
the games. Searching - for clean
sweat shirts and soeksi and iron
ing,, skirts, and.blouses cannot be
classed as great fun,-
. .The - cheerleaders .cheered' their
last, game with-'McKeesport on
March. 4th. This -semester, with
the absence of Jan Jackson, Mari
lyn . DeMarsh . and • Patty Lentz
iieaded the squad. The other girls
were Donna. Cramer,, Diane Pag
an, Joyce .Gouger, Nat -Kotoasa;
mid Sally. Stauffer. Jan Jackson
and Pran Vidil left the squad, in
January when they were trans
ferred.-

©trikes, spares, and only nine
pins! That’s the conversation that
filled the asmosphere at the Perry
Plaza bowling alleys, as the Beh
rend League opened its third
week.
'Congratulations to Natalie Ko
■basa. Last week at the alleys, Nat
made an eight-ten split, and after
the games were finished, she won
a trophy, a miniature bowling
ball, for her effort.
It seems that Bill Schweitzer
had a toad game going in the sixth
frame, tout he retaliated in the
tenth to turkey out. This last
really raised his spirits.

bowlers, who are acquainted' with

Jane Eisentoerg is becoming
quite an expert bowler. Why?
•She’s taking sneak practices at
the Y. W. C. A. Good luck, Janie,-
we know you’ll make good. ;
Our own Sue Lockley is be
coming another great bowler.
She bowled a striking . series: of
161, 142, 131, keep up the good
work, Sue, and send us your
coach.
The Cardinals are going wild
this semester, as they did last.
Tying them for first place are
the Snipes, each team, winning
4 games, and losing 2 games.
Due to conflicting schedules, the
bowlers cannot all meet at the
appointed time, 3:30 P. M-, so
there are a number of students
comprising 3 teams which are
bowling a* 4:30 P. M. If you are.
interested in bowling, you are
welcome to drop in at either time,
and join the fun.
The high scorers for the men
and women are as follows* Pete
Dedad 193; D. Thurbon 192; R. :
