By sponsoring intramural basketball games and other numerous activities, the club made the students sport-conscious and helped mold championship teams for the future. The Miss Varsity Ballf which is sponsored by the club, ranked as one of the most outstanding school dances of the year. 'lMiss Varsity, the queen of the dance, was selected by the Lettermen. She reigned over a night of fun and frolic escorted by her guard of honor, four Red Men. The members of the Monogram Club worked hard all year to raise enough money to buy each Senior member of the club an honor sweater to show he played some Varsity Sport for M. H. S. The sweater was presented as a token of honor and farewell from his fellow Red Raidersf, 52

The Red Raiders, with good material and quite a bit of experience, looked impressive in the games they played. Seven lettermen returned from last year. Garrett High School was consolidated with Meyersdale this year. From this grew a capable and efficient football team, However, enthusiasm waned after several of our star players were injured.

S. cheerleaders, under the supervision of Miss Hawkins, started the term out right with top performances at the football games. They wore white pullover sweaters and black skirts. For basketball season they purchased new skirts with white talfeta linings. They deserve a lot of credit for the splendid effort with which they led the cheering section and the good school spirit they showed boosting our team. 55 Ruth Gerhart, Patty Horning, Mary Beal, Thelma Miller
