Varsity Cheer Leader Assistant Cheer Leader Assistant Cheer Leader Assistant Cheer Leader CHEER Leading was started this year for the first time, under the direction of Miss Payne. Pep meetings were held every Friday morning for the purpose of learning the various cheers submitted. Cheering under the direction of these leaders greatly aided our basket-ball games, and afforded inspiration for our team’s victories. We hope that greater success in cheer-leading will follow in the new school. 23

GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL Captain......................Minnie Lasher Manager.........................Mary Lucy TV r() EMBER saw the girls of the High School meeting in the gym to have y their first tryouts. The team was quickly chosen as there were only two weeks before the first game. Then we were confronted with a big question, ■'Were we to join the N 0 S U League?” The answer was “Yes”. Due to Miss Eckles’ coaching we improved our passing and teamwork which enabled us to win nine out of twelve games played in the NOSU League. This gave the N. P. H. S. Girls second place. Two of our players will march away with the cap and gown procession, but we have able substitutes to take their places. Much credit is due Miss Eckles, our coach, for her faithful and tireless efforts throughout the year.
