G. A. A. Orchids to officers Jean Stubbs, June Gander, June Lawrence, and Joan Stapletord ot the G.A.A. These gals have done a grand job during the past semester to make the Girls' Athletic Association a success. The G.A.A., the largest girls' or- ganization in school, sponsors sports of all sorts. By going to the gym after school and having lots of fun, the girls are paid. Healthy bodies, alert minds, and good sportsmanship are the dividends. The girls may earn points by par- ticipating in the numerous sports. By earning three hundred, a girl may win a numeral. Five hundred points are required for a letter.

CHEERLEADERS Left to right: Dick Dawson, Dave Swain, Bill Hart, Errol Bartine, Captain. CHEERLEADERS Yea, East High! Yea, Cheerlead- ers! Yea! Yea! East High Cheer- leaders! These boys have a great responsi- bility here at school. They carry the East High spirit on their shoulders and, believe me, that is a pretty big load! The cheerleaders are led this year by their captain, Budd Bartine. They practice their old yells and work up new ones in their spare time, of which they have little because they are so otten in demand by the student body. Bill Camptield, l2B, serving now as alternate, will take the place ot Dave Swain after the Iatter's graduation.

They are the curtain raisers at all the first team basketball games. Hard work and lots of practice every night after school make these boys what they are. They scrimmage against the first team and oftentimes give their money. The competition is really rough, and it certainly takes the know-how to stay on the squad. Some of these boys will at mid-semester them a run for probably move up since quite a few of the varsity players will graduate. They are coached by Mr. Wendell Webb and Earl Rodine, an East graduate. The Little Scar- lets are untried at the time of this writing, but they are sure to have a successful season. VARSITY BASKETBALL With a good season in prospect East High's cagers are preparing them- selves with vigor for what will prob- ably turn out to be a tough schedule. The Scarlets will have six lettermen returning for the first semester while the success of the second half of their season will depend on the abilities of such reserves as Harry West, Harold Jensen, Gene Labus, Carl Grant, and Ralph Maigaard. The returning lettermen are Walt Mickelson, Gary Perdue, Bill Jensen, Dick Fisher, Dave Worley, and Dick Phipps. The coaching staff will be headed by Wendell Webb, head football and basketball coach at East, while Earl Rodine, Scarlet alumnus, and Fred Geitz, Drake cadet, will serve as Webb's assistants.
