The j.V. Basketball season was launched this year with greater enthusiasm than has been displayed in many years. This was due mainly to the efforts of the J.V. Cheering squad. The entire group has shown consider- able improvement over those of previous years and we hope to have a more superior varsity squad in the future because of this. Under the capable leadership of their co-captains, janet levine, and Diane Appel, these girls, Linda Vveisberg, Stephanie Solow, Bette Wisokei', Marilyn Goetz, Naomi Himmel- stein, Eeattie Shapiero, Tootsie Small, and loretta Golden have been a great asset to both the school and the IV. basketball team. Because of their inexhaustable spirit and pep, these girls have been able to cheer the players on to many a victory. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the great job done. J. V. CHEERLEADERS SPUR TEAM ON T0 VICTORY NEW' ATTRACTION IN GIRLS SPORTS With the opening of the new term a new venture was attempted by the Girl's Athletic Department. The snappy and exciting game of badmin- ton was added to the list of extra-cur- ricular activities. At the first practice there was a large turnout of excited girls, all eager to try their skills at this sport. Not long afterwards, school and class honor teams were chosen. A very fortunate and select group of girls, namely, Alba D'Alto, Marcia Serwitz, Peggy Barriscale, Janet Eidonson, Judy Atkins, and Marilyn Goetz, were chosen to represent Long Beach High School at the Play Day in Oceanside. Although the girls, handicapped beacause of their inexperi- ence, were up against some keen com- petition, Peggy Barriscale and Marilyn Goetz came out winning, while the rest of the team played quite well. This, indeed, was a gala beginning for a sport that will rate at the top with the Long Beach girls in the coming year. EIGHTEEN
