Soccer HE sportsmanship of the l955 soccer team was really outstanding. Our earnest captain, - - Dave White, led the team through some really spectacular contests. Both the team and the spectators will long remember the final game with Roosevelt, whom we had to tie for the championship in the D. C. S. L., we lost to Roosevelt twice-each time by only one goal. Although we did not win, this is the statement quoted by referees and coaches: lt was one of the most brilliant battles of soccer ever played in the D. C. S. l.. The total outcome for the season, four wins, four losses, placed Oakwood second in the D. C. S. l. The team is grateful to Fran Henderson and John Berberelly, whose excellent coaching and infectious spirit helped the l955 team through one of Oakwood's most exciting soccer seasons. 27

Cheerleaders N enthusiastic group tried out for cheerlead- ing this year, making cuts difificult. Our co- captains, Pat Walker and Pooh, with the assistance of last year's cheerleaders, did a wonderful iob of coaching the five newcomers. This year we introduced two very popular cheers, the Clap Cheer and We're from Oakwood. Cheering for two seasons provided fun and excitement. The fall season busied us with both soccer and football. During the winter we saved our energy for basketball games, Some of the time, to be a cheerleader meant hard work and aching muscles, but all of the time it meant fun. However, we could have done nothing without the support of the crowds and the determination of the various teams. CHEERLEADERS: Left ta right-Constance Porter, Co Captain Suzanne Corbett Carol Downs Sue Deuell Carol Stokes, Alternate, Patricia Walker, Co-Captain Holly Clarke Mary Lynn Susan Crutchley
