AMZWQU The cheerleaders composed of three girls and three boys under the direction of Miss Haser, with the fine cooperation of the student body were able to provide a peppy and stimulating atmosphere at our football games. The cheerleaders, led by Albert Strelicks, provided pep before the games by meeting in the auditorium and gymnasium. Here, the freshman learned the different yells and songs of the high school which usually drowned out the opposition of the rival cheerers, The boys wore white trousers with blue sweaters while the girls wore blue skirts and white sweaters. Despite rain and muddy grounds the cheerleaders led the student body in cheering regardless of how their uniforms suffered, The cheerleaders will miss Albert Strelicks and Warren Turner wh l grad- uate this june but we are sure that the Cheerleaders of next year will keep up the pep of the school.
