CHEERLEADERS p Anthony Dunaj, '42 Eleanor Qualey, '42 Jean Kearney, '42 Clymont Rankin, '42 James McCann, '44 Claire Songila, '43 Eleanor Narwid, '42 Dorothy Stypol, '42 We find it difficult to discover enough superlatives to describe the work of our cheerleaders. We can only state that it was superb, and trust that this characterization will serve to convey to the reader the high esteem in which we hold these boys and girls. At all our games, their spirit and enthusiasm kept our cheering section alive and and on its toes. Thoroughly trained in their various cheering formations by Miss Mc- Donald, they were the subject of favorable comments from both our own students, as well as those of our opponents. Besides directing the cheering section, our cheerleaders played an important part in the letter formations of the Band during the football season. Likewise, they have been selected as the color guards of the Band whenever it parades, and their appearance with the Band has been highly praised. Their success is directly attributable to the painstaking efforts of Miss Teresa A. McDonald, their faculty adviser. The many hours she spent training them has not been in vain. To her and to the cheerleaders themselves, we offer our sincerest con- gratulations. ATH LETIC COU NC I L Cl7tIiV'lIIllII ,.,.... Jean Kearney, '42 Scfrrtnry .,..... .......................,......

Charged with the task of keeping interest in our varsity teams at a high pitch, the Council left no stone unturned to realize this objective. After enrolling all students in the Athletic Association, shortly after the opening of school, the members of the Council concentrated all their efforts toward insuring a large and repre- sentative cheering section at all our football games. To say that they were successful would be a gross understatement. This is all the more remarkable when one realizes that all our games were played away from home. Page Fifty-one
