EHEEHLEADEHS IN OCTOBER 1943, Miss Stadler, our Physical Education Director, con- ducted cheerleading try-outs in the gym. From a number of contestants, a committee composed of three teachers, selected the five most suitable girls, who were: Phyllis Ball, Midge Speers, Joyce Castle, Nancy Pashley and Dorothy Tompkins. Garbed in red skirts, white blouses and suspenders, these girls appeared at the Hrst basketball game and cheered the boys to victory. Each succeeding game found them armed with a new cheer, and striving to spur the team to the top. To the junior varsity cheerleaders, Ruth Smith, Dorothy Chynoweth, Arlene Norton, Mary Elizabeth Jones, Betty Brockett and Ronald Miller, we here extend congratulations for a most successful year. The girls in white skirts, red sweater and white dickeys, with Ronald in white trousers, white shirt and red tie will always be remembered as the snappy sophomore cheer- leaders of 1943. E151
