E s L e n C L O T S CHRIS STOCKER BARBARA COLE Co-Captain Captain JUDY OGENS JINNY STEWART LYNNE PERKINS Three Cheers for Lenape, RAH, RAH, RAH! This year our cheerleaders were fortunate enough to work with and lead a student body full of the pep and spirit needed to back our athletic teams. The enthusiasm among the girls was great, despite the many hours of hard work involved. But their reward was a great amount of personal satisfaction. The cheerleaders wish to thank Mrs. Marter and Mrs. Reeves, their ad- visors, for their guidance and co-operation in making this a most successful year. Come on, Lenape, LET'S GO! I48

This was behind the four hit pitching of Steve Croshaw. In what turned out to be one of the biggest games of the season Lenape was defeated by Hamilton at Hamilton by the score of 4-3 in 9 innings.
