They had a very good foul shooting: percentage was very good, hitting 217 out of 418 for a percentage of .519. We won the North Vernon game on fouls. Scoring was fairly well distributed with Marvin (Butch) Graves coming out with a total of 166; second was Don Jackson with 119; third was Larry Tabor with 107.

ROW 3: Carl Robertson, Bob Fleenor, Leonard Kendall, Boyd Fleenor, Bob Thompson, Ronnie Gilstrap, and Coach Jones. The Freshman squad under the leadership of Coach Jack Jones had it very tough during their scheduled season, coming up with one win and fifteen losses; although many of their games were lost by very small margins. These boys are very good ball players and show great chances for playing on next year's second team.

| | 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
