In addition to the three senior high cheerleaders this year. junior high cheerleaders were elected again since a junior high team was organized.

Boosters The booster committee helped k e e p the team's spirits high by making clever favors for them for each game. Besides that, whenever them heard someone suggest giving t h e boys e feed they were always on the Job to prepare the food and decorate the tables. They share our teem's success in e very definite way. Standing: Marilyn Haskell, Jay Krauss, Barbara Firstt Stated: Betty Raker. Betty Burkholder. I l v a Rxpp. Joan Lelninger, Stanley Zeigler. T7

LQHQITDQII Every year some boys who take part in athle tics are sufficiently outstanding to deserve let- ters of recognition.

It will occupy most of the new building and the actual playing floor will be seventy-eight feet by forty- five feet. The new auditorium-gymnasium as planned is arranged very much like the present one but on a larger scale. Spectators at games will be seated in bleachers at the west end. These bleachers will I e larger than the present ones :nd will seat any crowd likely to 1t- tend a game here--even a Pettis- 19 ville-Archbold crowd. Two athletic dressing rooms will be built below the stage at the east end of the room. These will be provided with showers and will be used only to change into or from gym clothes. Especially et the commence- ment activites the present audi- torium has often overflowed and those who could not get in simply have had to go home. In our new plan. if there is an overflow, it will be seated in the north cor- ridor which will open into the auditorium with a telesco p 1 n g wall. In case the crowd is even larger than can be accommodated by this extra space, the will gt the b a c k above-the permanent seats will telescope also so that Spectators can be taken care of in the room above the lobby. The west entrance to the building will open into a spa- cious lobby. The ticket booth will be in this room. The lobby will be closed off from the rest of the corridor by gates. New stage facilities a r e discussed on page nineteen. This new auditoriumigymna- sium. which is the biggest item in our new school plan, has been carefully planned and we feel it will really be ideal. The Lariat, 1946

Stage and Urge nizotsiens O n e of the improvements which the new building will bring to Pettisville is improved stage facilities. The present stage is too small to allow for adequate lspace behind the scenes for Lmov- ing about and for arranging off- s t a g e effects of scenes and lighting. The new stage. 50 by 20 feet. will be entirely ade- quate. Equip ent f o r special lighting effects will add greatly to stage productions. Another improvement we have planned is stage dressing rooms lwhich will not be used for aths letlc events- These rooms will 19 have storage space for make-up and s m a 1 l stage properties, dressing tsbles,adequate mirrors, and closets for hanging costumes. Our community is organizing into more and more groups all the time: and many of these groups. such as the Mothers' Group, Amer- ican Legion, and 4-H Clubs, find it convenient to have their meet- ings in the school building. In our present building we do not hrve a very convenient place to have these groups meet, so we have planned rooms for them in our idevl system. The space above the lobby on Track A track team was organized this spring. The team was fairly successful and won several local meets. They placed third in the county meet. The team entered the Devil- biss and Bowling Green meets in addition to local meets. Standing: Clyde J. Kinney-coach, Donald Wanner, Hsrold S t o u t, Robert Weber, Jay Krauss-mgr., Stanley Zeigler, Edward Grime, Louis Haskell. Seated: Donalda Waldfogel, Gene Lantz. Junior Lantz, Myrl Weide- llch. Dale Robinson, Loyal Rupp. t h e second floor of the new building has been reserved for these rooms. The space wiill be divided by a telescoping wall so that two groups may meet at once if necessary, or it can be thrown into one room for a large group. Another advantage of this room is the fact that it can be opened when school is not in ses- sion without opening the rest of the building. The room will be available for any club or group from the community who wishes to use it either during school months or during the summer. The Lariat, 1946
