Anita, Cathy, Jean and Sally showed unusual ability in the early days of practice, and it was not long before we began to feel coordinated as a group. Soon we were cheering in the mud at Mill- brook, being tackled at St. Peter's and suffering knee injuries-all the while backing our teams with the needed enthusiasm of the crowd. 5 Knee injuries having become oppressive, saw the need for an addition. Dorsie and Pe joined us. At this time, a change in schedu - abled cheerleaders to participate in winter spo . It is our hope that this program can be extended to include the fall sports. We hope more girls will go out for cheerleading as a result. Although we had less time for practices, we added many new cheers, thus completing a suc- cessful year. , 5
