Get those reunion reservations in soon!
101 Lady Vikings, managers, cheerleaders, coaches, fans and family members are registered for our Lady Vikings Winning Streak Reunion on March 17! It should be a great time renewing old friendships with most of us not having seen each other for 35 years! Don't worry, Bunny is making us all name tags with our high school team picture on it so we can recognize everybody by how we 'used' to look....not that we have changed that much.......
I hear Linda Joiner has been looking for some navy and white houndstooth fabric like our team skirts were made of to make herself a reunion skirt. She hasn't much luck though. Remember those navy blazers, our skirts and the jumpers? We did look pretty spiffy didn't we! Sandra Arnold still has her lucky knee pads she is bringing to the reunion to add to the memorabilia. Linda is bringing her high top converse shoes. Remember those? Some of us are bringing our State Championship rings to display. We'll have all the trophies on display.
This could turn into a Peed reunion - at this point we have six 'Peeds' and their families. Harriet Jones Geesey will get the prize for coming the fartherest - Laramie, Wyoming! There are lots of you who have not responded yet that live right around Butler......we hope you all can come.

My daughter, Krissy, calls me one of those die hard cheerleaders. I was a cheerleader in 1966, 67 and 68. The streak started in '67. In 1968, we were seniors and one of my most vivid memories of Coach Carter was one night(can't remember the team we were playing) during the girls game, we had done our usual cheering and they won. Then, the boys game came and we kind of slacked off in our cheering. The next thing I knew Coach Carter was in my face telling me to get these cheerleaders up and cheering. I knew we were in trouble when we looked up and he was coming toward us with that dreaded look that only he could give. We never sat down or let a minute go by without cheering.
Does anyone else remember this? I also remember in 1968 at the state finals. Coach always wanted the whole team-players, managers, and cheerleaders-to enter at the same time together. When we entered the coliseum, (I hope I remember this correctly) you come in the first door into a waiting area and then through the double doors to the basketball court. As we came through, we were booed so loud you couldn't hear anything else, but we came away victorious!!
As of Monday, March 6, we have 132 paid coming to the reunion. We still expect a few more of you who have told us you are coming. Email me (jbland@uga.edu) if you are mailing yours in and I will add you to the count. See you all soon! Judy
