All. TEAM NEED ASSISTAN E Cheerleaders and Managers Build Morale and Keep Teams Intact Snappy cheerleaders are responsible for the spirit of the team and the fans. Before, these positions were open only for boys. This year Springfield High School introduced the duties to girls. Since the boys graduated in mid-year, the eight peppy misses now make up the entire squad, rotating be- tween reserve and varsity games. Springfield's new addition to their sports program seems to have been a pleasant success. So wake up the echo's lassies, cheering dear SHS's name. Looking over the 1945 football season, one finds that the things necessary for a successful football season are the multiple tasks of the managers. At the beginning of football season there is the job of getting everyone properly fitted with equipment. After this the managers tasks becomes limited to that of liming the football field, taking care of minor ailments of players, keeping the field house in orderly fashion, and packing gear for out-of-town games. These and many smaller items take up all of the managers time.
