and Patty Jarrett, these
young ladies have added a
to the weekly wrestling
meets. Attired in their
Kelly green and white
jumper uniforms, sup-
plied by the club, they
cheer their young
brothers and friends to
victory with ‘“‘Rah-
Rah’s”’, ‘Go, Mounties,
Go”, somersaults, cart-
wheels, and splits. They
greet the team’s op-
ponents with the familiar
‘“Hello, Hello,” cheer.
Tried this year for the
first time as an experi-
ment, the young cheer-
leaders are winning the
hearts of fans from the
Back Mountain as well as
They are serious about
their performance and
practice every Tuesday
and Thursday from 6:30
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Louise
Roper and Patty Jarrett,
‘graduates of Wyoming
Valley West, give gener-
ously of their time and
spend many hours work-
ing on réutines for and
with the girls.
Stipulations for becom-
ing cheerleaders require
that either the girls must
have a brother in the
wrestling program, or
that their mothers be in-
volved in the Wrestling
Club for at least a year.
The club provided the
uniforms but parents pro-
vided the shakers, shoes,
socks and other in-
cidentals.
Many of the parents are
busy every week night
and on Sundays ‘tran-
sporting their sons and
daughters to practice or
to meets.
The young Mountettes
(shall we say) have
cheered at Hazleton,
Wyoming Valley West and
at’ last Sunday’s home
meet. Next Sunday they
will cheer at the home
meet with Hanover and
following that, their final
meet will be at the Wilkes-
Barre YMCA.
These young lasses with
class are making a hit
with everyone. Those
fans, who haven't seen or
heard them are urged to
turn out next Sunday and
see both the cheerleaders
and the wrestlers per-
form.
