Cheerleaders Action! Yells! Songs! Pep! Work! School spirit! Wc had all these and more, too, when the seven girls went into action to lead the cheering section for the Red Devils and the Red Devilettes. To these girls, Dorothy Dula, Capta ' n, Peggy Eaton, Sue Shell Johnston, Louise Peters, Peggy DeBoard, Jean Smith, and Kathryn Hale, much credit is due, not only for their support of the teams, but for the encouragement of stronger school spirit and better sportsmanship.

Girls ' Basketball The first practice session, the second week in December, witnessed sixteen girls eager to open the 1947 basketball season. Handicapped by size and lack of experience, the Red Devilettes suffered quite a few losses but came through the regular schedule with a 19-18 edging of Pulaski and won a 2 5-22 victory over Pembroke in the district tournament. Those who earned letters this season were Nancy Morris, Earlyn Johnston, Betty Sue Frye, Jean Smith, Kathryn Hale, Betty Jean Evans, Sue Shell Johnston, and Beverly Doolittle.
