You name it and the AHS Fisherettes will supply it as they did during the 1952-53 sports season. Directed by Harold Withnell, high school band director, and Miss Mar¬ garet Upham, this newly formed or¬ ganization got off to a glittering start as they provided all half-time entertainment for football and bas¬ ketball games this year. Organized as a marching group in 1951 these youngsters turned the tables on prognosticators, who saw them reach¬ ing perfection in two years, by zip¬ ping into difficult and ingenious pre¬ cision formations this season. Membership for the group comes from the freshman and sophomore classes and some 36 girls were mem¬ bers this year. Smartly attired in yellow sweaters and purple skirts they have visited throughout the state and appeared at several all-state func¬ tions, including the Shrine game and the Astoria Regatta. Officers are Carol Holmes, presi¬ dent; Arlene Sarampa, vice-president; Joyce Willson, secretary-treasurer, and Judy Wogberg, scrapbook editor. 23
