Kay Hammond CHEERLEADERS Strengtfzen School Spirit With Endless Pep Behind every man, there is a woman. The women behind our athletic squads are the cheer- leaders, ever radiant, and always smiling. Utiliz- ing their every ounce of strength, these nine girls boosted the hopes of both the team and the school when the score was down. Eligibility was determined flrst on ability, then on poise and the faculty recommendation. But to maintain this spotlight position, each girl was required not only to retain a high scholastic average, but also to possess never ending stamina for the long hard practices, whether in the blistering heat of August or in the chilling winds of December. When the girls werenht chanting hMaroon and Grey, they were selling spirit shakers, beat tags, or cakes and cookies in order to obtain funds for their uniforms.
