BHSEBHH TEHIH Although the '5 4 season shows two victories against five defeats it does not tell of the spirit and enthu- siasm which the team possessed. Indications are strong for a much improved season with the return of eight lettermen and many promising freshman candidates for 1955. AB H Avg.

Under the supervision of Coach Walter Minaert, the 1954-1955 basketball season proved a highly successful one, with the team winning nine games and losing only seven. This can be considered a good rec- ord for a college with less than fifty men. The Johnson Indians aver- aged seventy-two points per game and held their opponents to sixty-ive points per game. I.T.C.

CHEEHLEHDEHS Since only two cheerleaders returned from last year's squad, it was neces- sary to have many tryouts with freshman women. After many long and hard practice sessions, the team was established under the leadership of Elaine Colgan, Barbara Hale, and Gertrude Holmes. New uni- forms were obtained by the women early in the year. Although they did not play they were largely active in the numerous victories of Johnson Teachers College Indians teams. Many new and unusual Indian cheers have been added to the college yells. IHTHH-HIURHL BUUILIHG Bowling, an intra-mural sport in- troduced in the late fall of 1954, proved to be interesting and enter- taining. Competitive teams were set up and played against each other twice a week. A trophy was awarded to the team with the most points. Ralph Stearns was the cap- tain of the champion team. Other members of his team were Marilyn Peet, Betty Lee Tracy, and Carol Hastings. lllUHIEIl'S SUFIBHLL TEHIH During the spring weeks Johnson women step out once more on the sports field to support a spirited softball team. Four victories and a tie with Lyndon indicate that an- other enthusiastic and successful season is on the way.
