B-E-A-T, beat Smyrna, Beat Smyrna—the cry of the cheerleaders and cheering section dur- ing the Thanksgiving Day football game against Smyrna. Dover lost by a tight score. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: Mary Lobaccaro (captain), Claire Melton, Judith Osterburg, Rose Marie Caputo, Elizabeth Feller, Margaret Behen, Beverly Miller, Doris Ziebutski. “Push ‘em back! Way back!’ screamed Dover's cheer- leaders, who always urged the team on if the game was at home or away. Mary Lou Lobaccaro, varsity, and Barbara Duke, j.v., led the squads, advised by Miss Beggs. They completed their blue and white uniforms with sweaters by selling football program ads. A yell book containing thirty-three cheers and the school song, was distributed to each student. They held vigorous and diverting rallies, which took the form of amusing skits or competitive cheer- ing. Even the football boys cheered! A noisy, lively snake dance, parade and bonfire preceded the Turkey Day game.

Composed mainly of first year men, the Senator’s wrestling squad lacked the experience necessary for a successful season. Captain Ron Fretz went undefeated in four matches until an ear infection stopped his action for three weeks. Dale Slaght was the only other Senator to compile a winning record as the team won but 1 of 6 matches. Tough opposition from Newark’s conference champions and the state champions from St. Andrews gave valuable ex- perience to the squad, and a better season is expected next year. Coaches Edwards and Leto expect eleven of this year’s team to return, with Captain Ron Fretz, Co-captain Gene McNinch, and Clem Bason the only seniors lost by graduation.
