Cheer for the Cheerleaders: We have mentioned this before, but think its due for a repeat.  We are speaking of the excellent job the high school cheerleaders are doing at the basketball games. They’re attractive and their costumes are attractive…. To our eyes, at least, they have far outshone those of visiting teams and really have a professional touch. Active on the cheerleader list are Patty Almeter, Jean Pagle, Mary Hoffman, Donna Redding and Eloda Hofschulte.
