Cheerleaders RAI-l ! RAH ! BURGY HIGH ! Hep-Hcp, one - two and our cheerleaders started out a new season with ten girls, the largest squad in the his- tory of Williamsburg cheering. Our five experienced leaders were C0-captain Cornelia DeNood, Co-captain Jeanette Samson, Frances Vayda, Elinor Leonard and Sandra Kmit, and our very apt beginners were Terry Smith Kathy LaValle, Susan Senecal, Nancy Dufresne, and Sondra Kellogg whom we unhappily lost when she moved from our town. With a desire to make the 56-57 cheerleaders the best ever, we decided to have practice at least once a week with Mrs. Kmit. This, and going over the cheers before basketball games made us into a smoothly functioning squad ready for a good season. Although we are losing three cheerleaders through gradua- tion, who knows how many eager would-be cheerers will answer the call - Who's interested in cheering? - next year? if ua KNEELING - Nancy Dufresne, Kathy LaValle, Sue Senecal. STANDING - Terry Smith, Sandra Kmit, Jan Sam son, Coach Mrs. Kmit, Cornelia DeNood, Frances Vayda, Elinor Leonard. l -40

As you can see from the scores below, the girls' basketball team did even better this year than we previously expected. At the end of the season our record was eleven wins and four losses, a record no school should be a- shamed of, considering that through the graduation of 1956 we lost four out of six regular players. But the gradu- ates' places were quickly filled by the previous junior varsity members who, after three months of very tough practice, formed a united six on the floor. The team of 1956-57 will not go down in history as any one -woman team. It will go down as a united team playing for Williamsburg High School, and for Mrs. Kmit who showed us not only how to play basketball, but al- so how to exemplify good sportsmanship. At the same time she instilled in us a desire to win, not only against our own Franklin League Schools, but also against bigger schools. We thank her sincerely forall her help in making us better basketball players, and also better citizens. We wish the best of Luck to next year's team, but we don't see how, with four regulars left, they can help but carry on the Burgy spirit!
