20 THE GATHERER BOYS AND GIRLS A. A. The athletic program at Deer Isle High School is once again under the direction of a single Athletic Association. The students grouped their talent and chose to form as one organization. Mr. Elkhorn, who coached both girls' and boys' basketball, advised this group. With much equipment being left from last year, namely: baseballs, bats, basketball uniforms, and balls, there was not a need for major pieces of equipment this year. This year, many projects have been suc- cessfully completed. Mr. Elkhorn, who stresses and thoroughly believes that junior high athletics are of the utmost importance, if future high school teams are to prosper, scheduled a series of baseball and basketball games with Stoning- ton for his younger group. Five baseball games were played in the fall. Deer Isle won three of the five games. Seven basketball games were played. Deer Isle won five of them and tied one. We believe that the per- formances of our younger athletes have been a credit to their school. Free tickets to the tournament were fur- nished to the girls' team, cheerleaders, and a number of other students who had partici- pated in certain activities. Labor was furnished by the boys to spread gravel on the athletic field. Monograms will be purchased for partici- pants in boys' and girls' varsity athletics. The A. A. was also able to help the Alumni Association raise money, by sponsoring local basketball games. Approximately S100 was realized from this activity. The A. A. gets its money from the maga- zine drive. school fair, and public athletic. performances. The officers elected for the 1950-1951, school year were Jerauld Hutchinson, Presi- dent, Beverly Eaton, Vice-Presidentg Janet Eaton, Treasurer, and Norma Gray. Secre- tarv. The A. A. members and their advisor, Mr. Elkhorn, would like to thank the members of the school committee for making possible the free use of the school buses for trips, the public for the free use of the Town Hullg an-l everyone for their patronage and support at all activities.

CHEERLEADERS The cheerleading squad started their 1950- 51 season under the direction of Miss Alice M. Plevock. Practices have been held after school at night in the English room or in the Town Hall. The members of the squad are Inez Bill- ings, Marilyn Damon, Barbara Perez, Pris- cilla Powers, Eliza Small, and head cheer- leader, Regina Billings. To match the school colors, as well as the boys' and girls' basketball suits, blue and white were recommended as the colors for their uniforms. These colors were accepted and they chose white skirts and blue blouses for the first four cheerleaders, and a blue skirt and white blouse for the head cheer- leader. Dances have been held after the home games to help pay for the cheerleading out- fits. The girls have several new cheers which they have exhibited at the games. Some ot them are-l'Strawberry Shortcake, Rip A The Rip, 4'Zip Zap, Snikekty Rickety, and 'gRackaty Ax. i The squad is going to try something new this year by cheering during the baseball and softball season.
