These girls were chosen when they were Sophomores by popular vote of the stu- dents. By leading the cheering at all the foot- ball and basketball games, the girls helped to build up pep and school spirit. The cheerleaders have a constitution which states the qualifications for cheer- leaders, practice rules, and choice of uni- form. nl-: SERVE CHE I ERLEADERS MARQTQEQANNW MAR y AH TI-runs MIILHU1-'F IANET SHACKLEFORD ' VIVIAN scnomunc.

Nothing short of a five-quarter football game could excite Portsmouth East fans, in 1947, more than Drum Major Ianice Brown, and the majorettes with their baton maneuvering: as they strutted down the field at the head of our little but mighty, thirty-piece band. When Ioy lean Frazier began her acrobatic stunts everything else was forgotten. The band made formations at the games this year. Before the homecoming game the band formed a football around the queen's float while the queen presented the football to the captains. At the half-time, the band formed a heart and played Let Me Call You Sweetheart while the queen was presented with flowers. During most of the formations at night, the flood lights were turned out and the formations were outlined by small lights on the caps of the members. To make these dazzling between-half formations possible, the new band director, Caywood Thompson, spent many long hours in practice each week. The band marched in the May Day, Armistice Day, and the Knights of Pythias parades and were highly complimented on their excellent performances. On the whole, the band has improved greatly and has continued to improve to the extent that they were worthy of new uniforms which were bought by the Band Mothers' Club. tpllfltrfu First Row-Paul Brigner, Lester Covert, Ianice Ervin, Margaret Hackworth, Ioe Hibbitts, Charles Garlinger.
