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.
