The girls had a schedule of four games and lost every game that they played; this, I think, was because volleyball is a comparative- ly new sport at Coe-Brown. Prospects for a good team for next year are favor- able as we have a number of promising players. Millie Scribner was captain. During the winter months, the girls took no organized participation in an outdoor sport. We danced a great deal. The boys made a ping-pong table, and this the girls played. But as spring arrived the girls began to talk of nothing but softball. Girls' and boys' horseshoes, hiking and bad- minton are some sports which are new here this year at Coe-Brown. Under Miss Priestly’s competent leadership, about fifteen girls take a hike every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. They come back from these hikes bring- ing rack and flower specimens and tell- ing of all the things they saw. Miss Taylor is in charge of girls' horseshoes and badminton. This year's softball team has lost four valuable players but we have cer- tainly made up for that. Many of the lower classmen have become our top players. With this in mind it is sure that within two years Coe-Brown will have the best softball team they've seen in years. When this goes to print we will have played one game here on our field with Epping. We won 22-10. The positions of co-captains are be- 28

CHEERLEADING CHI I K 1.1 AI)! RS Left to Right: L. Hutchins, J. Mifflin. As we are assembled here to witness our official closing of this school year, we find Lois Hutchins, Head Cheer- leader, and her associates, Helen Bick- ford, Janet Mifflin, and Joy Wiley, hav- ing some sort of ceremony. I believe the substitutes, Pearl Yeaton, Millie Scribner, Alberta Witham, Marilyn Tuttle, Norene Holmes, and Marion Pease, are now marching in with some sort of box—no, I believe it is an old trunk. I believe they must be folding up this year's uniforms and storing them for next year’s squad. As we approach I believe we hear Lois exclaim “My, doesn't this bring back memories?'’ Speaking of memories—I think we all recall our first game at which we cheered. How frightened we were! ! Remember the “Field Day” contest in which we placed second, with Ep- J. Wiley, H. Bickford. ping first, and Farmington third? What a time! ! What about the Southeastern League contest in which we placed fourth? Competition was really stiff. Remember how happy we all were when we heard Janet, our candidate, was placed among the finalists in the Annual Miss Basketball Cheeleader” contest? Ah, Yes, this year has really been fun and we all sure do hate to see it close. As Lois puts the last skirt and megaphone into the trunk, she makes a statement that we all agree with, “cheerleading this year has been loads of fun.” We are sorry to lose Janet and Helen through graduation, but the rest of us are happy to take over and carry the torch for ol’ Coe-Brown. 27

They are a combination of bright red shorts and a white shirt waist style blouse. Mr. Allen, our softball coach, de- serves a great deal of credit for the way he has practiced with the girls has en- couraged them. Marion Pease was absent when the picture was taken.
