After beginning practice in August, the girls prepared for the coming foot- ball season under the supervision of Miss Ma- chaud and Miss Beck. Then from December through March they cheered on the basketball teams. In the spring they began training can- didates for next year's squad to fill the vacancies left by this year's seniors. The cheerleaders did a fine job rousing school spirit at the football and basketball assemblies. Throughout the year they have been a constant symbol of the spirit of MHS.

Leader's Club is an organization of girls, outstand- ing in athletics, leadership, and character, who aspire either to become physical education teachers or to keep themselves more physically fit. The members aid the girls' gym teacher in setting up equipment, leading group exercises, and acting as referees dur- ing the different intramural athletic games during the year, in which girls participate. Leaders attend gym classes twice a week, and hold meetings once a week after school. Members of the Leader's club also sponsor an annual semi-formal dance for the entire school, held each November. 52
