Millicent Freeman Only a short time before basketball season a new group of cheerleaders was chosen by the faculty, senior council, and the members of the basketball team. Those chosen were Millicent Freeman, senior, Doris Trondle, junior, Rose Dempsey, Char- lotte Roman, Jean Scott and Margaret Merriman, sophomores. Millicent Freeman, the receiver of the highest number of votes, was made captain of the squad. These peppy girls, clad in their White flannel coulottes, with sweaters on which they proudly displayed large Lfs showed their untiagging and wholesome sportsmanship as they cheered their team to victory. However this rah-rah-rahing sextet did more than merely cheer. By their clever pep-meetings they often drove the student body into a frenzy of excitement and enthusiasm. Their clever, original words to the tunes of Jeepers Creepers and I Must See Annie Tonight did much to make the Avalon game one of the largest and most exciting victories ever witnessed in Leetsdale. The precision and originality of their cheers, together with their untiring good sportsmanship made the school proud of them at every game. Left to right in the picture are: Margaret Merriman, Doris Trondle, Charlotte Roman, Rose Dempsey, Jean Scott, Millicent Freeman. The 1938 football season was a highly successful one for Leetsdale High School. The team, although small and with only a few veterans, upheld the honor of the school very satis- factorily. The schedule was a difficult one and consisted of nine games. The team got off to a good start by taking Clark in the first game and then defeating Findlay, Neville, Robinson, Ben Avon and Oakdale in succession. Then came the only setback of the year, a bitter defeat at the hands of Sewickley. After that the boys came back and took Arnold Prep and West View in their stride to complete their season. All of the games were played in ideal football weather with the exception of Ben Avon game which was played on a wet muddy field. Six of the games were played at home with three games away.
