Senior Ariel Buckley encourages all girls to tryout. “Cheerleading, to the outside world, is seen as full of glitter, big hair, loads of makeup and overly peppy girls,” Buckley said. “Once you get past the thick cloudy hairspray, it’s easy to see that it is entirely different from the typical stereotypes. Cheerleading was my lifeline—it

Armstrong ends reign by Beatles History.com (MCT) Following the ascension of “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” to #1 in early February, the Beatles held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for three and a half solid months—longer than any popular artist before or since.

Reck said. “I am looking forward to watching the players develop.” As for Rinken, even though he has retired from his career as a science teacher, he plans to continue coaching the boys golf team next fall. “I will be coaching again next year,” Rinken said. “I am looking forward to another season with some really great kids.” Both coaches will be recognized at the school district coaches luncheon at 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 1 at the newly constructed fieldhouse at Howard Wood Field.
Our History Over the course of those months, the Fab Four earned three consecutive #1 singles (a record); held all five spots in the top five in early April (a record); and had a total of 14 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 in mid-April (yet another record). But just when it seemed that no homegrown act would ever stand up to the British invaders, one of the least likely American stars imaginable proved himself equal to the task. On May 9, 1964, the great Louis Armstrong, age 63, broke the Beatles’ stranglehold on the U.S. pop charts with the #1 hit “Hello Dolly.” Louis Armstrong became one of jazz music’s first individual superstars as a young trumpet player in the 1920s and 30s, but more than that, he revolutionized jazz itself by turning it into an individual improvisational art form. The recordings Armstrong made with his Hot Five and Hot Seven combos between 1925 and 1927 are widely credited with creating much of the foundation for the future of jazz and blues performance and, by extension, of rock and roll. By the early 1960s, Armstrong’s most important and influential work was already behind him, yet his famous charisma and ebullient personality were still enough to lift a show tune like “Hello Dolly” to the #1 spot on the pop charts—and over the Beatles–on this day in 1964.
