Indoors-Outdoors l Frightened a little, out of step a lot, they stood and paced and jumped. It was their debut, and though .every eye was on them, not a voice was with them, and apparently they had failed. But nine football and twenty-three basketball games provided a lot of practice. Slowly, the fear and disapproval gave way to praise and acceptance. Hopefully, girl cheer- leaders are here to stay. Football, Basketball, Horne or Away, Winning or Losing, the Cheerleaders were always there. Jan Maucher leads a rally- ing cheer at the O'Connell game. 36

The Varsity Cross-Country team at Episcopal after placing second in the State Catholic Meet. Standing: Fr. Paul Kenny, Joe Rheme, Dave Schlosser, Pete Diehl, Bill McDonald and Mr. John Connery. Kneeling, Frank Spicer, Joe Barrett, and Ray Dombroski. Solo Combination Every sport demands of a person a few special tal- ents, talents that are needed more than any others in order to succeed in that sport. A wrestler works on know-how and balance, a basketball player needs co- ordination and speed. But the cross-country runner must combine all of these with a great love for running. The aims of the coaches, Fr. Paul Kenny and Mr. John Connery, are to promote these talents in the members of lreton's cross-country team. Their ef- forts were not without success. The harriers ended the season with an impressive 7-3-1 record. Pete Diehl has led the Harriers to a victorious season this year. Right behind Pete, Ray Dom- broski is next year's hope for another such season. Scoreboard BI Opponent Tri-Meets 21 George Washington 37 lreton 35 31 T. C.
