On board ship is no place to llnd 700 depressed sailors, so each fall a crew of cheerleaders is elected to dig out our pep and unite our shouts. As well as being strenuous exercise and lots ot fun, cheerleading is a serious business. The attitude and behavior of a whole school is often con- trolled and measured by its cheerleaders. 'lfhey strive always for good sports- manship, friendly relations between rival student bodies, and the more obvious duty, giving the team unilied support from the spectators. Often their own personal traits and emotions must be laid aside in lieu of the situation, choos- ing what they consider to be the right thing to do. .lfive seniors were on deck through-out football and basketball games. L'arol liaunzner, Don Allen, and Wally johnson were inexperienced boots electedby ballot in September bythe senior high in an assembly. 'l'hree-year veterans and M winners, Phebe Qlfierce and .Xdele Bryan took the new- comers through some rigid practices until the live emerged as a smooth work- ing machine. According to the rules ot the U.S.S. Menomin, it a cheerleader is elected during his sophomore and junior years, he is automatically a cheer- leader the third year, without having to go up before the assembly in an election. Also, he may receive an M only after two years of service in senior high. Gene Harshman, who had previously served one year, was drafted to replace XV ally johnson during the mid-term leave.

Ci.A..X. began its voyage by electing team captains and organizing the tournaments in fieldball, volleyball, basketball, and kittenball. ' Chosen by GAA. members to lead their twelve-member teams were: Adele Bryan, Joan Cook, Joan Dunphy, Gerry Erickson, Marie Hovind, Carol liaunzner, Betty Moe, 1Pliebel'ierce, Shirley Sommervold, and Nan Tilseth. Because of the lack of adequate playing facilities, no volleyball tourna- ment was held, but hard fought battles were waged in the lieldball tournament, basketball, and kittenball games. Competition between teams was 'lliercen as they all strove for top honors. Team captains must serve as an incentive to their teams and keep them under control when the going gets tough . Getting players out on a cold winter night for a cruise to the Armory is often no easy job, but the captains are behind them urging attendance. Rivalry between teams grows strong as they battle for the silver cup awarded to the championship team at the end of the voyage. PAGE-58 '48 MENOMIN

The llO members of the 1947-48 N.H..X.-X. were guided by Chuck XVeber, presidentg Donna Qliighmy, vice-presidentg Maryruth Husby, secre- taryg Jim Olson, treasurerg and under the advisorship of Robert Lee. Meet- ings were held frequently for business and to decide coming events of the N .H.A.A. In the fall, dust could be seen rising from the playground adjoining the ship's moorings, where two football teams would be battling it out. 'When a wintery sun looked down upon our ship at high noon, it saw on top deck a scene of sweating boys playing basketball. The girls always made a good cheering section, for yells backing a favorite team often resounded through the decks of the ship. liittenball was springs sport, and there was a 'fterrificn struggle by each team to gain a first rating.
