Cheerleaders
It has been mentioned more than
once this year by more than one
person that the school spirit among
the students and members of the
faculty and staff has been far high
er this year than in many pre
vious years.
And probably one of the best rea
sons for this increase in school
spirit is that of the great school
: spirit that is radiated by the group
of girls who make up the Elon
I College cheerleading squad.
I Although they have been neglect
ed many times, the cheerleadery
, „ ihave come through strong this year
Members of th" KUm cheerleider group during the fall season,; surprise of some and the
shown left to right above, are as follows: FRONT ROW — Judy Jones,
Jane Holler, Carol Keith, Carole Boyle and Pat Mortell. BACK ROW - ^
Ali« Mitchell, Sanc^- Bergman, Gwe^n I^nc^k, Ray Jankowski (Mr,

times on passes from Wheless. Doug
Amick got one of the scores on a
line smash, and Sonny Pruette add
ed the final score when he grabbed
a Lion fumble in the air and raced
27 yards to pay dirt.
The Christians, still smarting
from the disappointment of the pre
vious week's 7-7 tie with Lenoir
Rhyne, showed quickly in the Fred
erick battle that there would be no
frustration and futility in the Christ
ian attack in the season finale, for
the Elon gridders drove for scores
twice in the opening quarter and
then added three other TD's in the
second period for a 34 to 0 half-time
lead. In fact, Elon scored the first
five times in possession of the ball
Starting from the Elon fifteen
after a Frederick punt, the Christ
ians smashed 85 yards in twelve
plays for the first score, all of the
drive on the ground except a 7-
yard scoring pass to Gentry after
eight minutes of play. Ferrell kick
ed good for the 7-0 margin, and
barely three minutes and twenty
seconds later Amick was in the end
zone with the second score on a
3-yard smash that climaxed a 21-
yard drive, set up when Captain
Jerry Rowe recovered a Frederick
fumble at the Lion '.wenty-one. The
kick failed, only miss of the after
noon.
There were three scores in the
second quarter, with Wheless pass
ing twice to big Fred Stewart for
13 yards ami eight yards for scores
and with Gentry scooting six yards
for the other. Ferrell kicked g(5od
both times. Frederick broke into
the scoring with a TD in the third
period when Teddy Putnam dashed
II yards for the score.
are students who are offended by' tcuinam>'nt. I’liy got underway

back at the bookstore by trying to I
prove that its prices are higher.,
You have probably found that peo-1
pie are less likely to complain about i
prices if the service is good. And'
there is no reason why Elon’s book
store couldn’t have good . ;rvic?.
In regard to the Crier, the first
issue was a sort of trial balloon.
Even though it may not have reach
ed the heights that some people
expected, it didn't blow up in any-'
body’s face.
The next Crier should be out next
week, or it may be out already.
The publication definitely has a
place on the EUon College campus,
not just so we can say that Elon
has two newspapers, but just as
two heads can work better than
one, two newspapers can serve the
Elon College campus better than
one.
Let us hope that the Crier doesn't
fold after one or two issues this
year. But, of course, that depends
on the Crier itself.
