Madeline Roux, Dorothy Marsland, Muriel Ladieu, Beverly Nadon, Evelyn Lessard, Patricia Caverly, Virginia Valliere. THE CHEERLEADERS Who helped to boost the spirits of the basketball and football teams this season? Those seven vivacious girls, our cheerleaders. Clad in snappy red slacks and white sweaters, they managed to get every L. H. S. rooter cheering lustily at all the tournament games. They lent their cheery support at the majority of the outside games as well. VVith suggestions from Sponsors Edna L. Smith and Ruth Trull, the girls wrote six new cheers, complete with motions, for the basketball game with Franklin. Tops among these was Laconia's going to push them back down Willow Hill, dedicated to our Franklin rivals, and written by Evelyn Lessard. They drew up a constitution and have been recognized by the Student Council, thus entitling them to representation in that body. Already the girls are eagerly looking forward to next year when they will put into practice some very eye- catching ideas. VVhite megaphones placed in the center of a red L were awarded as letters to the following girls: Beverly Nadon, head cheerleader, Evelyn Lessard, lkladeline Roux, Patricia Caverly, Dorothy lklarsland, lliuriel Ladieu, and'Virginia Valliere. THE ATHLETIC ASSUEIATIUN The governing body of high school sports is the Athletic Association. It controls all girls' and interscholastic sports. The Association is made up of the physical directors, athletic coaches, and managers of each sport. By approving schedules and purchase of new equipment and making a budget, the Association holds a controlling hand over athletics. Dr. Clarence Rowe, president, Bliss Edna L. Smith, secretary, and lllr. Andrew Crooker, faculty-manager, are all officers of the Association. The most important job the Association has undertaken this year is the revision of the constitution to obtain a more liberal interpretation. Miss Smith, lVIr. Gifford, Shirley DesRosier, and Emmet Arnold are doing the revising.

BASKETBALL 1943-44 SEASON The Laconia High School 1943-44 basketball team completed its season with one of the best records in recent years, winning ten games while losing six. The Nlagicians opened their season December 15, against Ashland High School and emerged victorious, 17-10. Belmont was the next victim of the Red and VVhite by a 36-19 count. Laconia played host to a strong Scott and VVilliams quintet following the Christmas vacation and racked up their third straight win, 41-23. Laconia suffered its first defeat, 26-14, when they travelled to Alanchester to engage Aflanchester West High School of that city. The Alagicians opened their season December 15 against Ashland High School and stride again, defeating Tilton Junior College, 18-16, on Tom Barrett's basket in a sudden- death period. The following Friday Laconia played host to Concord High School's Crimson Tide, and with about 45 seconds to play, Tom Barrett pulled the game out of the fire with a basket that put the Red and VVhite out in front, 28-27. The Leh-coached quintet went to Rochester on january 18, where they sustained a 42-31 setback at the hands of a fast-moving Spaulding outfit. The Red and VVhite ventured to Franklin the following Friday, where the Blue and Gold edged out the Aflagicians, 28-19. Laconia returned home on the 25th of January and administered a second defeat of the season to Belmont, 44-30. St. ,Ioseph's of Alanchester invaded the Aiagicians court in the next encounter and defeated the Red and VVhite, 25-17, after the Lehmen had led at the half, 14-9. Spaulding of Rochester became the next victim of the Nlagicians as they gained a revenge- ful 42-21 win. The Alagicians seemed unable to break the jinx of not winning a game on their rival's Hoorg this proved true for the fourth time as Concord High defeated the Red and White, 32-21, in the Capital City.
