Cum Laude On November 17, 1960, the Pem-Day chapter of the Cum Laude Society was officially recognized as four seniors became charter members and five faculty members became honorary members. The four student members are Art Bowen, Doug Drake, Jack Miller, and Boy Welsch. The award was based upon their high scholastic and extracurricular standing during the junior year and early senior year. Mr. Peter A. Schwartz was named president of the chapter, while the follow- ing teachers were honored for their work: Mr. Walter Bennett, math department, Mr. Cecil C. Coad, history, Mr. Kevin Madden, science, and Mr. Clifford Nault, French. Mr. Gilbert Reynolds, a member of Cum Laude since his high school days, became the secretary of the Pem-Day chapter. Mr. James G. Angell and Mr. Louis Knight had also been awarded Cum Laude certificates in high school, while Mrs. Virginia Scott Miner automati- cally became a member by being elected to Phi Beta Kappa in college. The Cum Laude Society was founded at Tome School in 1906 by Dr. Abraham W. Harris, who was determined that scholastic achievement should be accorded alt least as much recognition as was given to all other school activities. The name of Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity was adopted for the original society, modeled after Phi Beta Kappa and 'the first General Convention was held in 1908. In 1916 the name was changed to Cum Laude and the Society was divided into six regional districts covering the United States. The Cum Laude Society is financed en-tirely by its initiation fees and never makes special 'as- sessments on its members. There are now 194' chapters and nearly 40,000 members in the society. At the commencement exercises on June 7th, Kirk Douglass, Class of '62, was presented his Cum Laude membership on the basis of his academic achievements and contributions to school life dur- ing his junior year. Other members of his class may be initiated in the fall of 1961. d+a--N.-,,a ..g-+.-- , ........... -............L.- .,....-.1 . . -. ...--..---..-........-

This hardy group formed the nucleus of the permanent 1960-'61 cheerleading staff. Britt Blaser, Bill Cozad, Marsh Long, John Readey, and Dick Williams performed M-1-C-K-E-Y . . . R ? yeoman service throughout the season. With the opening of the basketball season, Cozad and Wil- liams were lost to senior dance committee and roundball managerial duties respectively - while Larry Dick, Fred Embry, Mike Lemoine, Bruce McClelland and Bud Price. filled out the winter staff. As the group became more acrobatic, Glen Speakman lent his dexterity to the cause. Throughout the fall and winter, the cheer- leaders performed a few skits, and tried to raise the generally mediocre level of Pem-Day spirit through daring acrobatics and John Readey's ex- pert rhythmic drumming. W The prospects for next year are bright. Al- though the student bodyas long-cherished dream of girl cheerleaders is yet to be realized, the boys will be allowed to choose their own group of high- spirited non-athletes, who will be sent to a clinic to be taught the many intricacies of this important but often ignored activity. -...L.. e.-,Gg.........-L...g. ... . ..........-. , ........r W, ....--:.... . , ..
