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

T he team started the season most effectively as they won their first five games before meeting defeat at the hands of the St. Johnsbury Academy team. In the second half of the season, they only won two out of six to end the season with a seven won and four lost record. Of the team players seven are fresh- men; two, sophomores: and one is a junior. T he team was led in scoring by Dale Hanson. Gerry Brooks. Burns Page, and Richard McAllister. One of the losses of the team was to the tall Peacham Academy team which went to the semi-final of the Class C tour- nament at Barre.

VARSITY BASKETBALL More candidates than ever before in the history of the school turned out for basketball in 1955-1956. Of the four teen finally chosen for the Varsity Team, six were freshmen: three, sophomores: four, juniors: and one was a senior. The Green Hornets played a total of sixteen games and ended the season with a six won and ten lost record which was considered good since it was a practically new team, inexperienced in college play. With almost the entire team returning next year and with many promising Junior Varsity men. even better days ap- pear to be ahead. Some new Lyndon records were made this year. They set a new high for a score made in one game, with 109 points against MacDonald College. Perley Wright with 56 points against the Norwich Jun- ior Varsity set a new high for individual scoring. Naaman Green set a new high for rebounds in a single game with 30 against Norwich.
