Tap, G.A.C., and Modern Dance Are The Some organizations which contribute to the physical and mental well-being ol our girls at Dormont High School are the Tap Club, the Girls' Athletic Club, and the Modern Dance Club. ll these groups had a motto, it would probably be, as the twig is bent so the tree's inclined. Tap Club teaches its members the funda- mentals and special techniques ol tap dancing. It helps them to develop poise, so essential in everything they do. The best dancers are chosen in the spring to dance in the cIub's outstanding Varieties acts. These acts display the precision and coordination ol this well-trained group. The Girls' Athletic Club offers lun, work, for example, such games as volleyball, ping-pong, shullleboard, and bowling. During the year some ol the members participated in a play day at Mt. Lebanon High School and were hosts to some schools in the district for a play day at Dormont. C.A.C. also sponsored the Twirp Twirl , an annual November dance. These events were quite successful. lXIodern Dance Club, the acorn of these recreational clubs, is increasing in size and popu- larity. Varieties is the Highlight of this group's intensive work and planning. Each year those Chosen for the Modern Dance act perform in an original interpretive dance. The originality and fine execution ol' this choreography are surpris- and friendships to its girls. Members can play, ing. ow 4: S. Paslin, S. Bell. V. Hafenbrak. C. Leeky, N. Munn.

Unified Cheerleaders' Club Attains Success Perhaps the most necessary club in school is the Cheerleaders' Club, for in it is the nucleus of all school spirit. The club trains girls to be cheerleaders for the games and pep rallies. Mem- bers ran be seen practicing cheering their free gym periods or leading the numerous cheers at football and basketball games. Two years of active participation in the club are required of every girl before she becomes a Dormont High School cheerleader. This achieve- ment means more hard work, but it also pro- vides an opportunity for visiting other schools and meeting other cheerleaders and teams. From association with other cheerleaders, many new ideas can be acquired in the art of effective cheerleading, which is never as easy as it looks. Our cheerleaders, in addition to their forceful cheerleading, have another attraction - striking outfits of beanies, sweaters, short pleated skirts, and saddle shoes: these outfits add to the cheer- leaders' appeal. The girls who do not meet the requirements the first year are permitted to try out another year. Enthusiasm for this club and its activities never dwindles, even temporarilyg its members continue their practicing. Their growth in skill is astounding, and involves not only a physical but a mental growth. Each year the Varsity Cheerleaders think up new cheers which add sparkle to the games. Extra, Extra, Dormont Locomotive, and Boom Chick A Boom are but a few of the many cheers the girls learn. Another interesting activity which the girls enjoy is a routine with the Band at football halves. Rain or shine, lose or win, the cheer- leaders pep up every game. Is this participation worth the effort? The girls and the student body think so, for without them a school lacks that certain color and unity so necessary for its suc- cess. Somehow, nothing seems to equal the thrill of cheering at a game, whether the outlook be good, bad, or indifferent. Cheering seems to be a national pastime, one that needs to be nur- tured. A highly capable group, with two years of training, assures us a blend of energy, poise, and school spirit, with a touch of good sports- manship. s- ml-lznv 7: C. Tgcliow, L.Tarker, P. Otway, J.
