Jimida Belt stated, "Sandy works and we can never get together. We more than likely will not cheer again." The squad was organized by former Montreat student. Summer Baxter. Baxter held tryouts in October. The cheerleaders are not part of the athletic department, but are under the sup port of the SGA. According to Maura Buus, liaison be tween the cheerleaders and the SGA, "When it came to finances and budget, the cheerleaders were allocated $390.00.1 was suppose to receive a list of cheerleaders. I continually asked for this list and never re ceived it." Buns added, "I also continually of fered my help. They never asked for any assistance. This was ‘Summer’s project’. I don’t know what’s happening." The uniforms are another big question. The $390.00 was used to order uniforms, but no one seems to be able to locate them. According to Belt, “The shirts and briefs are here. We have those. Sandy has her ski but the rest are floating around cam pus. They came in, but nobody knows where they put them.” Amy Wappes restated Belt’s high de gree of bewilderment, “I am not sure what’s going on. All the uniforms got lost in the mail,Jlhink.” Maura Buus enthusiastically voiced, “We could have used that $390.00 for an other project.” Senior baseball player J. J. Altizer com mented, “We do need cheerleaders, but only if they arc organized and coached by some one who will coordinate the events with the athletic department. They could have given the money to the baseball team.” “Maybe we should call Sherlock Holmes to Montreat to solve the case of the missing cheerleading skirts”, laughed Fresh man Nat Ruland. it should be a requirement for it (yearbook) to happen." Freshman Jean Abernethy concludes, "When the yearbook meeting was given only three people showed up. You cannot put a yearbook together with just three people. We’re hoping to get one together next year." Sperry explained tliat "it was late in the year when we discovered that we didn’t have enough people to put the yearbook together and that we would not meet the deadline to get everything to the printer." Sperry would like to start training now for next year's yearbook with interested stu dents. Short Story Contest Glimmer Train Publishing is spon soring a short-story contest for New Writers.
