Hillsboro High Cheerleaders

Title

Hillsboro High Cheerleaders

Description

Black and white image of five students in cheerleading outfits, posed on a football field. Two young men wear dark pants with the cuffs turned up and white sweaters with a megaphone overlaid by an 'H' on the front. Three girls are arranged between the boys, two kneeling with one knee up, and one standing between them with her elbows tucked in to her body and her hands out. The other four students have their arms extended at shoulder height straight out to their left. The boys have buzz cuts, grown out a bit at the top, while two of the girls have long hair parted on the side and held over with a barrette. The remaining girl has long curly hair. Houses trees are visible in the far background and a football team huddles in the far left of the image. The 'H' on the students' jerseys most likely stands for Hillsboro High School.
