30 The MICROPHONE CHEERLEADERS N. Phillips, M. Doughty, J. Wentworth, D. Dean, M. Johnson. Cheerleading Due to the elimination of the girls’ bas- ketball team this year there was a large number of girls trying out for cheer- leading. The judges were members of the faculty and those chosen were: Muriel John- son, Captain, Natalie Phillips, June Went- worth, Marlene Doughty, and Deanna Dean. Our substitute was Mildred Duplisea. As there were only five cheerleaders in- stead of the usual six, we had to work out new cheers, many of which were successful. Our uniforms consisted of yellow blouses, bine skirts, and blue and gold sweaters. Blue and gold megaphones were also pur- chased. We would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank Mrs. Bemiss for making our skirts. We feel that we had a successful season in spite of our teams many losses because of the spirit and enthusiasm of both the team and the cheerleaders. Spring Athletics At this printing it is not certain that the athletic field will be completed in time to meet the baseball and softball schedules, as the new high school was built on the pre- vious ball field.

Th MICROPHONE 31 Personals H. H. S s Ten Commandments I. Thou shalt not whisper—talk loud enough for the rest of us to hear as it might be interesting. II. Thou shalt not deface thy books or other school property as it will costeth you money. III. Thou shalt treat thy teachers with re- spect for they art thy elders, if thou doth not abide here too long. IV. Thou shalt not copy thy neighbor’s work for it might be wrong. V. Thou shalt not launch any flying mis- sile such as paper wads or airplanes as you might get caught. VI. Thou shalt not attempt to date your best friend’s steady as she might ac- cept and place you in jeopardy. VII. Thou shalt not try to get a two weeks’ vacation as teachers can sense these attempts and only give you more work. VIII. Thou shalt not persuade thy parents to do try work as their methods are easily recognized by teachers. IX. Thou shalt not run up and down stairs as thou would become so exhausted that thou would be unable to do thy school work, and that would be tragic. X. Thou shalt not write notes as thou might be embarrassed if they should be intercepted.
