Our high school cheerleaders, back in the late 1960s - early 1970s, as part of a few cheer routines, often banged their megaphones against the front face of the front row of bleachers that they sat on.

Seemed appropriate back then.

Fifty years later and in memories hidden in the deep recesses of my mind I can still hear the sound of megaphones banging against the front face of the bleachers.

I wonder if the cheerleaders are still as pretty as I remember them to be?
