This year the Reading Memorial High School Baton Squad was directed by Mr. James Calvin; leaders, Judith Sias and Catherine Bates; and monitors, Jacqueline Rixon and Barbara Cramer. Through after-school practice sessions, the girls per¬ fected their routines, consisting of twirling, kicking, and precision drilling, for the colorful presentation at the Saturday football games. Featured for the first time were a rocket routine and an umbrella routine with the umbrellas painted in the school colors. Al¬ though the Squad participated most actively at foot¬ ball games, rallies, and parades, it also performed for individual clubs and groups. yfh. t 29

Anne Delong, Head Cheerleader. The cheerleaders consolidate the crowd’s yells at the Thanksgiving Day game. Cheerleaders Who’s going to win today?” — that was the familiar cry as Reading’s vivacious Varsity Cheerleaders spurred the football and basketball teams on to victory. These girls, led by Rebecca Alexander and Anne Delong, helped to heighten school spirit at both the pep rallies and the games themselves. New this year, the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders encourages jayvee” fans to back their teams. The energetic Freshman Cheerleaders, too, did much to increase class support of the ninth grade squads. Because of their vitality and spirit, these girls have all been a worthwhile addition to the school’s sporting events. Beckie Alexander, Head Cheer¬ leader. 30
