CHEERLEADERS A large number of girls from the Freshmen class up came out for the squad. After many hours of practice and attention to details a seven-girl crew donned their new black and orange outfits to lead R.H.S. cheering sections. Jumping, yelling, flipping, and somersaulting their way through the football and basketball sea- sons the cheerleaders have been a credit to the school. mi mg pg f lfgwfsfggl , Figbt! Team, Fight!

Ill KETBALL About three weeks after the season started, we began to play league games. Losing the first game to Darien and New Canaan, Ridgefield made a smashing comeback by defeating Staples and Darien on their home courts. New Canaan was the next to fall, in what was the most exciting game of the season played on the Ridgefield court. We were now tied for first place with New Canaan, but in our next game we lost our chances for the Cup when a hard-fighting Staples team left us in the dust. Ridgefield won two games against our old rival, Watertown. We went to Hartford on February 25th to play for the state championship in the C League. We won the first game. On Thursday, February 28th, we returned but this time came up against the clicking Sufheld team. Score for this battle was a terrific 42 to our 18. We won 6596 of our games. 1.-155, - h lv?

2 Y? Q9- 'l H'FQ BASKETBALL The girls basketball team opened its sea son this year with a two fold purpose One was to enjoy the sport to the fullest extent and the other was to become better acquainted with girls of other high schools Both were achieved Of the three games played one was away QDanburyJ and the other two were home games Following the games with Brewster and Bethel on the home court the girls served refreshments to the visiting teams. Miss O'Sullivan coached the team and Anna Principi was captain. BADMINTON This year has brought a sporting interest in badminton. Yvette Wright, Eugenia Arch- er, Vivien Hull, Evelyn Petrini and Grace Wick have been playing sets in the gymna- sium up to the basketball season. Petrini and Wright have mastered the backhand stroke and the others make good competitors with smasher C as we prefer to call themj and other tricks in badminton. Anyhow, the girls are anxious to match other schools in a State competition in New Haven to be held in March. If they don't walk off with honors there, they will at least have seen how they stand among other amateurs of Connecticut. V. Hull, Y. Wright, G. Wick, E. Archer, E. Petrini.
