ACTIVITIES Liz., Cheerleaders This year Oakiield High had a larger and more efficient cheer-leading squad than ever before. Much of the credit for the squad's success goes to Miss Meadoff and Mr. Schiffner for their unceasing efforts to improve and per- fect the cheer leaders' technique. The cheerleaders spent many hours after school with the instructors, composing new and unique cheers and learning the latest motions to lead the cheering. The Board of Education was very considerate in buying blue and white chenille emblems for the appreciative leaders to wear proudly on the royal blue sweaters which were purchased. We hope to have an even better cheering squad next year to help our teams come through the season undefeated.

ACTIVITIES Dance Club NE of the newer girls' organizations of high school is the Dance Club which is under the supervision of Miss Meadoff. During the year the girls work- ed on two compositions-a Modern Dance with music by Cyril Scott and Dance Macabre with music by St. Saens. These were presented in the Demonstration along with a waltz to Maytime. The dance as a persistent human activity is a vital factor in contemporary culture both in its lay and in its art forms. The work in dance affords a com- mand of the field through experience in movement, critical judgment of form through work in composition and understanding of the place of the dance in society. The basic method used, is that of the modern dance. This does not preclude the incorporation of other methods. The method is that of group ac- tivity for those students whose interests lie in the direction of the dance. Miss Schuler, accompanist for the organization, selected the music for the dances and Mrs. Arthur Martin made the modern dance dresses.
