| | LEFT TO RIGHT: Jeanie Campbell, Norma Gater, Peggy Ellmore, Doris Devereux. Fight! Team! Fight! This is the yell of all Salem High School fans as they are led by Jeanie, Norma, Peggy and Doris, These four have worked on the older yells and introduced many new ones. Some of the new yells include the band, such as the ''Bunny Hop.' ' These have aroused much enthusiasm, The yell leaders always go to all of the out of town ballgamesas well as the home games. With these four girls leading the yells, the Gold and Black fans always keep the winning Spirit: It has been said that the enthusiasm for basketball is about half skill and half psychology. It certainly is true at Salem High School that with a good cheering section and some loud, snappy yells, the team will have better luck in hitting the goal. One of the big highlights of the school year is the pep session held just before the Sectional. As you enter the gym, the band is playing and soon the cheerleaders start leading some good old S.H.S. yells to get everyone into the spirit. After the yells we have some pep talks ’ by faculty members, backers of the team, and alumni. Then our able coach, Don McDonald, also gives a' 'pep talk, ''and introduces allthe boys on the team. After a few more yells, we all leave with a winning spirit. So, whether we win or lose, we know that the pep sessions add a lot to the sportsmanship of the students. 61

STANDING; Ralph Early (Student Manager), Frank Foster, Jack Chastain, Larry Wagers, Jack Jackson, Truman Chastain, Basketball, as everyone knows, reigns as king of sports here at Salem High School. This year was one of the more successful basketball seasons of Salem High, After going ll through the season with ten wins and eight losses, our team was defeated in the Sectional by Silver Creek by a very small margin, the Lions leading most of the game, but losing to the Dragons in the last few seconds of the game. We were very proud of our boys and are looking for- ward to next season with confidence that next year's team will be as good or better. The three top scorers were very evenly distributed in points with Jack Jackson out on top with a total of 179 Team points; coming out second was Charlie Rexroat with 150 points, and third was Jerry Horner with 147.
