Mary DeRusha was chosen for our substitute. At our first meeting, we chose Beverly Hadley for our Captain. We also decided that we wanted new suits. We chose blue skirts, yellow weskits and white blouses. Two food sales and one dance were put on to earn money for our new uniforms. Although we made quite a bit of money, we didnlt have enough to pay for our uniforms, so we will be putting on some food sales in the near future. 4 On behalf of the squad, I wish to thank Mrs. Ronald Bedell of Woodsville, N. H., for making our uniforms, and also the classes and teachers for helping during the bas- ketball season. I have enjoyed cheering with the cheer-leaders and wish to thank them for their patience, understand- ing and cooperation. I wish them the best of luck next year.
