Give 'Em a Yell, The cheerleaders helped in building school spirit this year, working against some difliiculty. With no auditorium to use, they held pep assemblies out on the field. They led in cheering at all the footfall and basketball games, as well. They decorated the goalposts before each football game, and then appeared in the splendor of their new navy skirts and white sweaters-uni- forms of which they were iustly proud. They marched in the Homecoming Pa- rade, the biggest event of the season, on November 12. The cheerleaders tried to encourage school spirit and gain support for the team, and to create good sportsmanship among the students by setting them a good cheerleaders are: Counter clock wise Naomi Dillon, Ruth Dillon, Jerusha Sykes, Leah Rae Etheridge, Peggy Horton, Diane Madrin, Linda Marshall, Mary Henley, Re- becca Grissom, Kay Stallings, Flora Eason, center, Jane Peterson.

Wrestling Wrestling, a comparatively new sport in school, proved to be gaining in popularity this year as each match drew a good crowd of spectators. A clean sport, with few iniuries, wrestling gives each boy an even chance by having him wrestle a boy of his own weight class. Smith High is proud especially of one of its wrestlers, Billy Bateman, who moved all the way up to the finals at the Pan America Games in Texas. To a person accustomed to football, baseball, and basketball, wrestling seems unusual. Even though Smith High has a wrestling team, only one from the team wrestles at a time. A boy is iudged on a point system according to the advantages he gains rather than just on falls, as in professional wrestling. Bill lnderwise rides his opponent to the mat . Wwlyff' WMM 9' .
