GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The 1956 basketball season was one of the most successful in the history of girls' basketball here at Lyndon. After losing the first two games, the girls held the lead throughout the remainder of the season ending with an eight-two record. From the first game played, the team exemplified the outstanding spirit and skill that was exhibited throughout the entire season. Even though there were fewer candidates this year than last, there was much enthusiasm shown by all the teammates. Not shown in picture are the follow- ing players: Marjorie Greenwood. Barbara Brown. Irene Spring. Vivian Boardman. Annie Wright. Mary Charron, Barbara Peters: and co-managers Pauline Bickford and Janice Chandler.

CHEERLEADERS Last year the WAA decided to have two cheerleading squads. One squad would be assigned to the varsity teams; and the second, to the junior varsity. The need then arose for new uni- forms which the WAA purchased after raising money for them. Captain of the varsity cheerleaders was Joy Wood worth with Judy Hamil- ton. Barbara Brown. Irene Spring. Patri- cia Penn, and Patricia Staples comprising the rest of the staff. To add a little spice in the line of gymnastic cheerleading, the varsity squad added Norman Hunt and Roger Couture. As in the past Mr. Schmid coached the varsity squad. The junior varsity cheerleaders were coached by veteran cheerleader Shirley Jenks. Virginia Glover was chosen cap- tain. and the rest of the squad consisted of Virginia Lawrence, Carole Garand. Muriel Rocheleau. Jean Paris. Vivian Boardman, and Janice Bishop. ■ 22
