CHEERLEADERS ATTEND CLINIC Cheerleaders of Henderson County High visited a cheerleaders clinic November 17 at Western State College in Bowling Green, Kentucky. County's Varsity Cheerleaders are Joretta Duncan, captain; and Beth Jones, both seniors, and juniors Nancy Williams, Beverly Risley and Kay Sparks. County's JV Cheerleaders are as follows: Janet Golday, Captain; Sally Tucker and Judy Utley, sophomores; Glinda Haynes and Shraon Long, fosh.

The team ended their season with a record of two wins and eight defeats. PRINCIPAL DEMANDS BOYS WEAR BELTS By Tommy Garrard What's wrong with wearing a belt? Really now, the belt manufacturers work every day to keep the pants of America up. Don't let these guys down with your pants. Seeing the tragedy at hand, Principal Lewis Johnson made the announcement on November 7 that all County High boys must wear a belt, have his shirt tail in, and trousers with a large enough waist to meet his demands. For those boys that do not bother to wear a belt to school, Mr. Johnson has a nice large one in his office that fits all boys. CLASS RINGS MAKE BIG DAY FOR SENIORS Ever heard of underclassmen geting high school rings? Anything could happen and did when the big day finally arrived for the seniors to get their class rings. Girls were getting out their first aid kits for use of the adhesive tape, running hurriedly into jewelry stores screaming excidedly, "I need a gold chain!", and making preparations for the day when they could walk into the gym proudly boasting a senior boy's class ring. Not only girls were excited, but boys were trading their big band of gold for a smaller one that could not even be worn on the same finger. "No girl will ever wear my class ring!" "I wouldn't wear my girl's ring even if it would fit me." "How pretty!" some said; others remarked "Ugh! I don't even like them!" The seniors practically floated out of the teacher's lounge September 30, after making the last pocket draining payment on their rings. When the seniors met underclassmen in the hall, they honestly thought the seniors' arms were broken the way they held out their "Third Finger, Right Hand." Think they were making much ado over nothing? Wait until you get your class ring. COED Y CLUB NEWS Eunice Tooley, senior, was elected president of the Coed Y Club. She is assisted by Vice President Bob Bailey, a junior. Glenda Tooley, senior, and Leslie Young, senior, are secretary and treasurer. The chaplin is Susie Bruce, senior, and Ann Simpson, also a senior, acts as reporter.
