in your habits, dependable when it comes to making promises
and appointments and your principles are fine. You would
make a good manager or director of some branch of business
or work. A light profession would be suitable to one of
your ability, temperament and personality. Selling ability
is not [a strong characteristic]. Your interests will be
promoted by the development of more self-confidence and
aggressiveness. You enjoy the outdoors, natural beauty
and gardening.

Yes, I was a cheerleader. Miss Sowerby tried to discourage me. The first time
she saw me in my uniform, at a pep rally in the gym, she told me quite frankly that
the white pants, sweater and shoes made me look “so very pale." It was clear that she
thought cheerleading would take away from my yearbook time. But I refused to
withdraw. I really enjoyed being a cheerleader. More important, it forced me to go
to games, where I got a little much needed exercise and quite a bit of nervous release.
Also, the opportunity to perform in front of hundreds of people was good for my ego.
