’ This year much suspense and mystery was connected with the cheerleaders. They were voted upon in assembly but their names were not disclosed till the following week when a pep assembly was held. At tnis assembly the students found they had elected peppy little Kathryn Houk, snappy and sparkling Judy Phillips and the clown and al-round good fellow of 3. C. H. S. Claude Tucker. During the year the cheer leaders filled their jobs very well. Their cheery smiles and dispositions have been and inspiration to the cheering section and the team. The girls are very able actrobats while Claude attempts to follow their antics. The cheer leaders have had a very successful year and B. C. H. S. has beer, proud of them. 19
