Sabetha High School - Blue Jay Yearbook (Sabetha, KS)

Under the direction of five of the peppiest cheerleaders SHS has ever known, the Jay Jays of the 51 year whooped it up. Come rain or shine, the Jays hop into the bus or cars and trek along to the big game. They cheered till their voices wouldn’t permit anymore and came home completely worn out. They didn’t stop on just one game; they went to all, happy and tired, but always ready to go for our grand old SHS. Under the untiring guidance of their sponsor, Miss Eleanor Pflug, the Jay Jays sold at basketball games, to build up a fund for new backdrops for the stage. With the help of other organizations the curtains will be hanging in ’52. Thus went the '51 season and will go seasons to follow, but although they may equal and surpass this year's club, they can never take away the satisfaction it gave to everybody. 26

The FFA won the 1950-51 noon hour bas- ketball league championship with a 14-7 won and lost record. There were three other teams in the league other than the FFA. They were the Band, Independents, and the Kays. The boys played every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The girls have played in noon leagues since 1950.

IT The Kays have won their 1,000 point award this year. Some of the projects during the year were: a CAKE package to a family in Germany, a gift to the school of material for blackout curtains in the study hall, a minstrel show, pep assembly, and gifts of food to various institutions. The Kays also sponsored an all-school dance, and a water- melon feed at the beginning of the year, so the new members could get acquainted.
