To have a good team, the members must work together with the coach and their team- mates, the Smith team has done that this year. The team was complimented, too, by the others teams that played them, for their fine sportsmanship. The team played under a handicap-Phil Davis, expected to be one of the star players, was lost at the beginning of the season, and then Ronnie Evans was iniured, the squad had to be rebuilt twice. The number of games lost was rother depressing, but the ones that we did win were extremely important. The win over Maury knocked that team out of first place, for his performance in that game, Kenny Edgerton was Player Of The Week For Tidewater. All the wins were in League competition, and the tive wins equal the record of the past three years of South Norfolk. The new gym, ready for the second term, was a big help to the players. The floor is said to be one of the best in the league. Kenny Edgerton shoots against Maury at Maury, as Story, 22, and Chappell, 20, look on. In an overtime game at Smith High, Willis Bell makes a one hand shot. ,49

LL L!Lfc,2!V ,gf Early in the fall, tryouts are held for the J. V. squad. After several weeks of practice, learning the yells, and actions, under the supervision of varsity members, the eliminations were held. The iudges, chosen from Class and S.C.A. officers as well as faculty members, iudge the girls in groups of four. From these groups they choose the J. V. Cheerleaders. The J. V. Cheerleaders act as the mainstay and chief support of the Junior Varsity Football and Basketball Teams, helping to build the school spirit and attitudes of fair play that are so much a part of a high school education. lt was with well-earned pride that the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders marched in full uniform of royal blue skirts and white sweaters led by their co-captains, Loretta Newberry and Jeanette Gay. fi ADA -fa 6 Lflf' V t LV Go, Tigers!
