Combining skill with sportsmanship, the orange and blue attired lassies traveled about the state adding the name of OCCC to the official score books of winners. Several towns of the area may be very proud of their girls; Barbara Magie from Chester smashed up points from all angles as did Ruth Dietz from Goshen and Winnie Greenier from Rockland State Hospital. On the other side of the basketball court, the oppos¬ ing team’s forwards were left pretty much out in the cold with Helen Karamachedis and Grace Diana producing quite a defense to break through. The highlight of the girls’ season was the excellent playing against N. Y. U. The Varsity proved to themselves and to the under¬ standing and happy coach, Miss Diana, that basketball is up and coming in Orange County. But, as Miss Diana said, “It is the whole team that makes a season a success.’’ Date Fri., Dec. 6 Fri., Dec. 13 Tues., Jan. 28 Sat., Feb. 1 Tues., Feb. 1 1 Fri., Feb. 21 Thurs., March 6 Fri., March 7 Tues., March 11 Opponent Shelton College West Point West Point Shelton College Vassar .

G IRLS who are interested in becoming cheerleaders attend prac¬ tices held for about a month. They are taught three cheers by former cheerleaders. Each girl has to try out by herself. She is marked for pep, appearance and how well she knows the cheers by Miss Diana, the newly elected captain and Mr. Chachis. The captain and co-captain are elected on a secret ballot by the members of the squad. This year’s captain is Joanne Contos and co-captain is Winnie Kipp. The squad had two practices a week. At their last meeting, Barbara Magie was elected captain of the cheerleaders for next year. The newly chosen squad for this year had their first opportunity to perform at Pratt Institute. This was their first soccer game and also the first victory. Except for Yale and Farmingdale, they attended all soccer games CHEERLEADERS They started off the basketball season with the Annual Alumni game. During this season, Oblate Seminary was the only game the cheerleaders could not attend. There was one over-night trip to Danbury and the following afternoon was spent in New York City. That evening the squad cheered at Farmingdale. Other activities included a Soccer Pep Rally in October and the Soccer Pledge Dance to which the cheerleaders lent their support. The whole season ended with an all Sports Banquet where the cheerleaders were presented with their letters and certificates. This has been one of the best years for the Orange County Cheerleaders consisting of seven regulars and three substitutes. 80
