Mascot Minnie Mouse is in foreground. Each year, there seems to be an improve- ment in the Blue and White cheerleaders. For the last two years, the ranks have not only been made up oi girls, but also two boys who have exhibited their skill. The combination of two boys and eight girls built up the school spirit to an unbelievable height. At the beginning of the school year, the spirit towards athletics was at a low ebb. The first attempts of our cheerleaders gained little success, but not giving up hope, the group continued their drive which gradually gained headway. At the closing ot the year everyone remarked on the spirit of the grandstand which at that time had reached a high peak. Leading the cheerleaders was Barbara Gray, who was chosen as the captain. Miss Murphy, girls' athletic director, acted as advisor to the group. The cheerleaders should be congratulated on their performances, because, without a doubt, they did their share towards the years' athletics.

oys' Varsit Basketball 3' From row, left to right: I. Harris, D. Alvin, Captain R. Cahill, Coach Knox, J. Scanlon, R. Filippini, T. Knox. Back row: R. Healy, Manager, J. Tompkins, E. Taylor, E. Collins, K. Ainger, J. Karl, T. Panos, G. Simoncelli, Assistant Manager. Litchfield High School eagerly awaited the 1949-1950 basketball season. From the ranks of the previous season came 8 lettermen to return to what was expected to be a better than average season. The team started the campaign by electing Rich Cahill as Captain of the squad. The season started as expected with a de- cisive victory over Watertown, and this was followed by a repeat performance over Morris. Much to everyone's surprise, the third game revealed an entirely ditterent result. New Milford, the underdog of the contest, upset the Blue and White tive by a one point margin. From that day until the end ot the season, Litchfield High became erratic, putting on good performances, which, intermingled with poor performances, led to the tinal team record of T3 wins against 5 losses. When the time came for the annual state tournament, Litchheld High was rated the l2th place team, The drawings showed the tourna- ment game slated between Litchfield and Sut- tield, the latter being rated as the l8th team. The Blue and White took the tloor only to leave very much disappointed, being upset by the score ot 46 to 38, Although the team did not bring home any championship cup, they excelled in good sportsmanship which is really the aim of all athletics.
