The losses didn ' t seem to dim the boys desire to play, for they shov ed as much spirit at the end of the season as they had at the first. The whole school is proud of the work these boys put out for the green and white and also especially proud of our coaches. Head Coach Leroy Fenstemaker and Coach John Albers.

Cheerleaders JSoost the Meats Bobcat cheerleaders for the ' 57 football season are Eunice Smith, Felicie Drost, Head cheerleader Geneva Smith, Patricia Wooten, and Joy Nettles. The ' 57 cheerleaders were as vivacious and energetic a group as Bloomington has ever had. The girls went to cheerleader ' s school in Huntsville and came back with some excellent yells and ideas to cheer the Bobcats on. They started practice soon after their return from the cheerleading camp and this has certainly been in evidence at our pep rallies and ball games. We at Bloomington High School can certainly take our hats off to our five great cheerleaders! OUR SENIOR CHEERLEADERS Pauicia Wooten, lively and friendly, was a cheerleader for one year. She supported our school at all times. Her friendly spirit will be missed around B. H. S. Geneva Smith, the captain of the cheer- leaders, led the squad for two years. Her initiative and leadership helped make our pep rallies the best ever. Her personality will be a loss to B. H. S. Joy Nettles, was one of the few girls in the history of the school to serve as a cheer- leader for four years. Joy ' s enthusiasm was an asset to the cheerleaders.

The coaches will remember that one certain play, the pep squad the stops after the games, and the players along with memories of the game, will remember the day they chose their jackets. This is football at Bloomington High School, its not all play as some think, but its a lot of fun. Coaches watch anxiously Students yell for the Bobcats Basketball coach John Albers is presented a blanket by the 1957-58 basketball captain Roque Esuada. The blanket is given by the team to show their appreciation to the coach. n a s k e t b a I I The scoreboard, which was given to us through the courtesy of Victoria Bank and Trust Com- pany, is really an asset to our gymnasium. Despite their lack of height and inexperience,- the Bobcat basketball team had a fairly success- ful season winning half of their games. A lot of credit goes to Coach John Albers whose untiring efforts made our victories possi- ble, and to our only all-district player Roque Estrada.

The sophomores won the contest with a 63 average and the juniors were second with a 577o.

Before Christmas, the Student Council decided to build a float for the Keep Christ in Christmas parade in Victoria. The float committee worked hard making preparations for the float, and when the time to build came, many interested B. H. S. stu- dents spent nnany hours getting ready for the parade. On the day of the parade, the float was pulled to Victoria and the final details were completed. The many ooo ' s and ah ' s along the parade route were enough to let everyone know that our float was a job well done. The Student Council took the float project so that school spirit and better cooperation between the Bloomington students could be obtained, and one can certainly say that it was a project that was a complete success.

The rally started from the old school. The boys rode in cars in front of the cheering squad. Everyone marched through town and stopped in front of Angerstein ' s Food Market. This downtown pep rally proved to be one of the most inspiring rallies of the year. Cheerleaders Eunice Smith, Geneva Smith, head cheerlead- er, Joy Nettles, Felicie Drost, and Patricia Wooten, pose at the end of a yell for a picture.

Js Rare as Sputnik A dream came true when the students of B.H.S. woke up to find the ground covered with a beautiful white sheet of snow early Wednesday morning of Feb. 12. At the bus stop, cars were showered with snowballs thrown by the students wait- ing to catch the school bus. Upon arriving at school, the students were showered with snowballs thrown by Mr. Brown and his eighth grade boys. Afterwards, several snowmen were built by the different classes. The ladies in the cafeteria served hot chocolate to the studen ts and facul- ty between classes, which was a real treat, and was thor- oughly enjoyed by all. So what was supposed to be an ordi- nary day in B.H. S. turned out to be the most fun-packed and action-filled day of the year. A straw bag and house slippers ! ? ? A special treat is prepared by the cafeteria ladies. Junior boys enjoy hot chocolate between snowball fights. Biology students try to top the Am. History class by building a snowman of their own.

The class of- ficers have led the class long and well in projects which have been great assets to every student in B. H. S. The decoration of the halls before the Christmas holidays was under- taken and served to put one and all in the Christmas spirit. Especially the Sophomores themselves. Not to be outdone when B. H. S. was campaigning for District Stu- dent Council Vice -President the Sophomores were at it again. Their sign was the largest, brightest, and certainly the most up to date — a kingsize sputnik I Already looking ahead to the next year and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, the Sophomores have begun making money through numerous pro- jects, one recently completed was a Mexican Supper.
