ROARING ROOTERS RAH RAH! RAH! Ponce de Leon! Led by these vigorously jumping and shouting cheerleaders, our student body spurs our athletic teams on to victory! Cheering at all home games and as many out of town games as possible, these school spiriters also sold programs of games. To become a cheerleader, tryouts are held in the spring for the fol- lowing fall, and after three years of frolicking and gamboling, they receive eight-inch letters. These cheerleaders, under the direction of Mrs. Maria B. Hor- nor and Mr. j. C. Cvramley, chose Bettie Lou Johnson as their cap- tain for this year. + Left to 'rights George Pena, Betty jane Mitchell, Barbara Fos- gate, Felicia XVells, Bettie Lou johnson, Katherine l-lardeman, Nancy jackson, Harriet Quillian, Leith Kent. AMBITIOUS ATHLETES VOLLEYBALL, basketball, softball, archery, tennis, badminton, swimming, ping pong, soccer, track, checkers, or whatever the sport may be, these athletically minded girls of the Sports Club are there in full swing. Picked for their outstanding athletic ability and voted upon by the members, girls qualify for the Sports Club by having been on at least two athletic teams. Sponsored by Mrs. Maria B. l-lornor and Miss Elsa Kueflel, these pepsters meet once a month after school to plan activities. -1- Left to right, first rom: Renee Lippman, President Mary Vance, Sec- retary-treasurer Patsy Denning, Vice-president Emily Cahr.

NX, X X 6 .2 + 711 the lower picture, the cam- era caught a few of the Caval- iettes preparing for a game. Always to look neat and well dressed is their motto-and not just because it'd be demerits if they didn't! MARCHIN6 MARVELS HEP! HEP! Left flank, March! Halt, one, two are words sounded by Patsy Denning reiterated by the resounding footsteps of seventy-five marching girls called the Cavaliettes. These young lassies, sporting their nifty red and black uniforms, drilled at all home football games, two out of town, at several University of Miami games, at the Navy game, the Orange Bowl game, and the New Year's Eve Parade. Maintaining a 2.7 average, a girl may enter Cavaliettes if she is an upperclassman and voted in by the regular members. An organization since 1935 at Ponce, and sponsored by Mrs. Maria B. Horner, the Caval- iettes also ushered at the University of Miami Symphony Concerts and the opera Faust, presented by the Opera Guild. 1 1 4 l l Ml
