 COME ON TEAM FIGHT” CHEERLEADERS Elaine Beckwith, Bonnie Singleton, Anne Feldpausch, Al Belsito, Blanche Belsito, Barbara Burchett, and Marion Pierce were chosen as cheerleaders by the student body for 1948-49 sport’s season. They were divided into varsity and reserve squads and Elaine Beckwith was elected captain. To complete the cheer- leading outfits, new skirts were bought through the efforts of the Pep Club and cheerleaders. Because of the superior per- formances of the entire cheerleading squad, each member received an award. This is the first time in our memory that an entire squad received an award. The co-operation and sportsmanship of the cheerleaders was indicative of the high standards of Hastings High and was a credit to themselves, their school, and the community as well. Identification — First row—B. Singleton, E. Beck- with, B. Belsito, A. Feldpausch. Second row — M. Pierce, A. Belsito, B. Burchett. I i i PEP-MEETINGS Various school organizations volun- teered to present the basketball pep-meet- ings. Among these were the Y-Teens, who staged a curious satire on locker-room conduct during the half. With Myrna Knowles as sports-newscaster and Anne Feldpausch and Jean Moore as Tom and Arkie, the curtain opened on one of the best pep-meetings of the year. Other Y- Teen members, including Pat Davis as Captain Bradford, completed the cast. That night the Saxons, being well pep- ped-up, won a rousing victory over the Charlotte Orioles. Identification — First row — J. Johnson, A. Feld- pausch, D. Van Houtcn, J. Moore, P. Davis, P. McKeough, S. Brandstetter, P. Wedel, A. McDon- ald, J. Hansen. Identification — First row — B.

JUNIORS JUNIORS Having finally reached the position of upperclassmen, the juniors got under- way in grand fashion by electing Jack McWebb to lead them, Frank Whitworth for secondary position, Bonnie Singleton to keep the records and Norval Sinclair to guard the cash. Not waiting for school to start, the last days of vacation found many juniors working out on the grid field. Their efforts were well rewarded for ten juniors stepped up at the end of the season to receive football letters. Hugh Wright was the only junior to run with the cross country boys. Basketball season rolled around and many juniors again saw action. At the close of the season King Baulch, Frank Whitworth, Jack Wingerden, Arkie Mein- ert and Ken Hampton were awarded letters. Joan Slocum, Sue Harrington and other junior girls displayed similar ability in neon basketball and G.A.A. The cheerleading squad boasted several juniors with Elaine Beckwith as captain. Working with her were Ann Feldpausch, Bonnie Singleton, Blanch Belsito and Barbara Burchett. Proving that the first semester wasn’t all play Evelyn Gwinn achieved an all “A” record. Nominations were made, elections held, and these officers were chosen: Jack McWebb, presi- dent; Bonnie Singleton, vice-president; Eleanor Stadel, secretary; Chuck Annable, treasurer. Never lacking inspiration the juniors sponsored an all school dance, the “Sock Hop”. Guests went home with a pair of dirty socks, a lesson on how to “schottische” and the memory of a rip-roaring evening. Attention was diverted from the development of spring sports by the presentation of the Junior Play. After a lot of hard work by the cast of nineteen, the committees, and Miss Smith, the terrific comedy, “You Can’t Take It With You,” was a huge success. In a more serious vain, eight juniors were hon- ored with membership in the National Honor Society. Controls were shifted into high gear as plans for the J-Hop got underway. In fact, the juniors were so busy that not one of them had time to realize that within a few months they would be “dignified” seniors.
