One of the new organizations in our school this year is the Pep Club. The first few weeks of school, the girls turned out for elimination. The sponsor, Miss Smith, and the girls agreed that the club should be limited to no more than fifteen competitive members, along with those who wish to sell tickets and help at sport events. Because of illness or disqualifica- tion, only two songleaders and ten cheerleaders remained till the end of the year. Each week, no less than three cheerleaders and two songleaders were chosen to lead at the games and assemblies. The number of lettering members were seven. Page One I-Iundnvl

TEHHI TEHHI The 1948 Tennis Team, Burroughs' third, got under wa at the completion of the basketball season with eight of the Desert Dcnke 's original team answering the call of Coach Cain. The Number One Doubles was taken over by the two Seniors who won the Desert-Inyo League Doubles last year, Bob Bowles and Jim Shortt. This position was hotly contested by a new doubles combination composed of a 1947 singles player, Bert Andreason and a newcomer to the Burroughs tennis scene, Rusty Richards. Taking over the Number Three Doubles were two more bovs making this their second tennis season, Richard Breitenstein and Tom Welch. The singles line-up was the scene of a great deal of competition with the appearance of two Freshmen threats to the upperclassmen position. Jim Simpson and Joe Brown both give the appearance of promise and should be a great asset to the team in a couple of years, while Jack Godett seems to be the boy to watch among the Upper Classmen in Singles after Billy Peirson and Rusty Richards, who have both played in the Number One Singles this year, have graduated. In addition to these who have played competition meets there are several boys who can't be passed up and will bear keeping in mind as tournament material. They are Jim Temple, Bill Morley, Eugene Breiten- stein and Dick Haquist. N znety nzne

The cheerleading members who obtained all the qualifications for lettering were Libby Warner, M. A. Reeves, Birdie Purcell, Dee Berry, Nancy Weber, and Caryl Rigsby. Joan Lamb, being the only songleader managing to compete a full year was the one person eligible for lettering. One H undfred One
