We Torm a large parT oT The cheering secTion during The TooTball season, and ex- horT The Team To Wallop Wabash as we pace our way across campus. We do help prepare Tor l-lomecoming, and our Tellows are a real TeaTure oT The 'l'iv rush , as They march on Richmond in Their loud pajamas. The girls oT '46, This year, gave The oTher classes some sTiTT compeTiTion in aThleTics, bacled up by The men, who made a real conTribuTion in Their own Tields. And aThleTics wasn'T The only deparT- menT where '46 leTT iTs marlc: in music, speech, dramaTics and all oTher exTra-curricular acTiviTies The Frosh were ready, willing, and able. All in all, They have spenT a good year in preparaTion Tor The leadership which They will oTTer in The unpredicTable days ahead. 1 . 11 kqx FREST-TMAN CL-XSS C: Presidehl N Vile-Presidesf Becrefarx .
