What we lacked in points we made up in spirit, of which we had more than a sufficiency. The season started off nicely with a 26-16 victory over Webster, but after a defeat from Dade City we were more or less up and down. Everyone agreed that our second Holy Name game was the best game played the whole season, even though Joyce did have us worried to death for fear she would foul out Las usualj. Page twenty-six

The I,cnpard's Growl, 19.46 BACKERS OF THE TEAM The inspiration for the team depends on the student body. The student body depends on the efforts of the cheerleaders. For the school year 1945-1946 the cheerleaders of Hernando High School were Betty Grilfen, Edna Stevens, Kenneth Bray C Button J, Patsy Murphy and Mildred Anne Randall. Button, the only Freshman member of the squad, could turn flips, turn cartwheels and do back-bends, which the other cheerleaders would not attempt. Betty was the veteran cheerleader, as this was her third consecutive year. Another who had past experience was Mildred Anne. This was her second year. Last, but not least, were Patsy and Edna. Although this was their first vear, they had, as the saying goes, vim, vigor, and vitality. They worked together as a unit with pep and perserverance as an active example of school spirit.
