Three cheers for our indis- pensable girls in red and white. The '57 cheerleaders of McDonald High began practicing early in August. Under the leadership of Alice Lienard, head cheerleader, they worked tire- lessly, learning new songs and routines. Displaying co-ordination and split-second timing, the girls strut their stuff at pep assemblies and foot- ball and basketball games. The Old McDonald Spirit has been kept alive by the vigor and enthusiasm of these girls through- out the school year. The linal assembly of the football season is high- lighted by a comic football game which has become traditional at McDonald High, in which the cheer- leaders become football stars and the first-string team are transformed into a yelling mob. During half time, there is a parade including several senior boys dressed as majorettes and clowns. Sponsors for the cheerleaders were Mrs. Rosana Campbell and Miss June Campbell. Not pictured is Isabelle Robertson, substitute cheerleader. STANDING tleft to right? - Anna Marie Sansone. Rachel Hughey, Al- ice Lienard, Gloria Hennon, Patricia Berry. SEATED - Mrs. Campbell.

Pep Club Arouses Enthusiasm Arousing pep and enthusiasm was the object of the '56-'57 Pep Club. The club, sponsored the first half of the year by lVlrs. Campbell, is the lifeline of the whole school. At the end of the first semester, Miss Doris June Campbell took over the duties of Mrs. Campbell, who was granted a leave of absence to travel. The officers were: Alice Lienard, president: Rachel Hughey, vice president: Gloria Hennon, sec- retaryg Anna Marie Sansone, treasurerg and Patricia Berry, historian. Each one of these officers worked diligently at her individual job. The Pep Club is composed of the members of the football and basketball teams, the school cheering sections, and the school band. It is the job of the club members to support the teams and help keep up the school spirit. The Pep Club also promotes good sports- manship and leadership. Projects for the year included selling programs at the football games.
