' ciao! Zhezkadew M' Q, ,Sus ' LEFT TO RIGHT-Ann Irvin, Barbara Naylor, Beverly Villars, and Barbara Snyder At any of the Blanchester basketball games, when the walls resound with the loud cheers of, Fight Team Fight! this eye-catching quartette of young ladles may be seen in action. They were chosen by popular election from a group of approximately twenty girls. Since the time of this choice- Hard work has been their policy, and the Glory of Blanchester their aim. As the team continues to be victorious and the school spirit rides high, our hats are oft to the girls who have worked hard to create this spirit. Alternate Cheerleader GAYLE RISE For the first time in the history of Blan High, a substitute cheerleader was used. Whenever it was impossible for one of the regular cheerleaders to appear at a game, Gayle was at hand, ready and willing, to take her place. A dilticult task-but well done by a very able girl. 63

mah i l l f Track season started off with a bang, this spring. Practically every boy in school tried out for a berth on this year's edition of the B. H. S. thin clads. To form the nucleus of this year's team are several hold-overs from the team that copped the second place trophy in last year's County Track Meet. These include: Herman Llming, Sam Plear, Jimmy Smith, Jerry Wise and Jimmy Dorsey In the track events: Gene lucas, Daryl Cadwallader, and Clayton Brumfield in the field events. Working along with these boys will be a lot of promising new talent. This year the Blue and White speedsters will be trying to repeat or better last year's record.
