Cheerleaders CHEER LEADERS—Fir t Row: Shirley Hoit, Ann Bonny Ann Sullivon. Second Row; Diane Lockrcm, Judy Mamie, Barbara Heller. Barbara Tclandcr. Not Pictured: Arlyn Brobcg. Southwest may once again boast the best in cheerleaders. As in previous years, this Student Council sponsored group has put pep and bounce into the many hockey, football, and basketball games. These girls, led by captain, Barbara Heller, have been cheerful and exuberant whether the team was winning or losing. As a reward for the cheerleaders’ efforts and hard work, the Student Council is looking into the possibility of getting new uniforms for the girls. A committee, composed of Howie Cammack and two non-cheerleaders, was appointed to look into the problem. It is hoped that by next year, the Southwest cheerleaders will have uniforms as nice as those of any school. After two years of service, cheerleaders are awarded a letter, given in their senior year. Shirley Hoit received a letter and Barbara Heller a star, this year. Tryouts, which were held in May, found competent girls and boys to take the place of the graduation seniors, and it looks like the 53-54 squad will be extremely capable. Flag Twirlers The presence of flag twirlers highlighted many athletic events in 1952. Twirling at Southwest hasn’t been attempted since 1949. During the summer, several girls were having a social get together and during their conversation came upon the idea of renewing flag twirling. They spoke to Mr. Mendenhall and he willingly agreed to coach them. After practicing many long hours during the summer months, their thoughts turned to uniforms. Purple and white in the form of pedal pushers and sweaters was adopted. These they made themselves. After they graduate, the girls plan to give the uniforms to the school, in hopes that flag twirling will become a tradition at Southwest.

On the lighter side such events as Homecoming, an exchange dance with Washburn, and a Match-Me Hop were planned by the council and accepted by the student body with great enthusiasm. Some of the outstanding leaders were Tom Kass-mir, who was elected Vice President of the All State Student Council, and Ihleen Wold and Howie Cam-mack. who represented Southwest in the all-city student council. Southwest students wish to congratulate President Jay Dregni and advisor.

Silver Tri This year Silver Tri. composed of freshmen and sophomore sirls and their advisor. Mrs. Haaland. did a bit of experimenting. Because of the large enrollment the group split into four chapters, each chapter having thirty members. The year was a big success with such social events as a picnic at Lyman Lodge, a fashion show with girls from Silver Tri modeling, and a recognition dinner. This latter was held at Southwest and its purpose was to honor old and new members and to acquaint the new members with the organization. In the early spring a panel to discuss dating problems was formed for one of the meetings. The panelists, who were two boys from each Southwest class, made a big hit and gave the girls much to talk about. To raise money. Silver Tri sponsored two dances: the Valentine dance with the help of the Hi-Y. and a Freshmen-Sophomore frolic. The officers. President. Barbara Telander; Vice President. Maxine Reynolds; Secretary. Sue Scott: Treasurer. Sandy Prieve. did a wonderful job in keeping the organization going and in helping the members have such wonderful times together that they agree it was the grandest year ever.
