Mrs. Judy LeBlanc is coach of the girls' athletic activities. Basketball practice began in October. Two games were played, both against Winona. We lost the games but a new basketball team for St. Gregory's girls was in the making. The A string was made up of Kathleen Peterschmidt, Millie Long, Kathleen Corcoran, Carol George, Joyce George and Frances Carswell. Substitutes were Carol Bieber, Mary Bouvy, Dardine Roedel, Helen K. Hesse, Sharon Bosworth and Mary A. Matachinskas. Volleyball practice began in February and the tournament will be held the latter part of March. Soft ball has been a well played sport at S. G. S, for the past three years. With past experience, it is expected that the girls will be formidable opposition for other teams. Cheerleaders: Mary Bob Bouvyg Carol Georgeg Carol Bieber, Head-Cheerleaderg Frances Cars- wellg Janice Cooneyg and Sharon Bosworth. .

The drill group, directed by Miss Lanell Rowell, consists of thirty-five members. Eleven members of this group belong to National Baton Twirlers Association, the oldest and largest twirling organization in the world. Each week the girls meet for one two-hour session where pre- cision dancing and marching, ballet exercises, and baton twirling is taught in an organized manner. The aim of this group is to bring recognition to the school by the group participating in parades and civic groups, to cultivate friendship among the students, to develop gracefulness and poise in each individual and, 'most important of all, to further the art of baton twirling. Miss Rowell is the former Twirler and Head Drum Major for the Famous APACHE BELLES of Tyler, Texas. Below are girls getting ready for tournament to be held at Winona, March 28th. if 'Q' Xt J 1

FUOTBALL Pictured here is a practice session of one of the more successful ground playing gains. Dick Stine KNO. 24D after taking a handoff from quarterback, Ronnie Hitt, comes through a quick opening hole off left tackle. The Wolverines, though a small team, had a fairly successful season, with four wins and eight losses. Some bright spots were the passing play of Ronnie Hittg the longest run of the year, 81 yards, by Dick Stine in the Chapel Hill game, the longest run from scrimmage, 69 yards,by David McNamara in the Mineola game. In the passing department Ronnie Hitt threw the largest number of completions, 15-17 against Chapel Hill, the longest pass for a touchdown was 47 yards, Stine to McNamara in the Mineola game. Ronnie Hitt led the kickers, 67 yards against Troup. John Finneran was the Iron Man of the team, playing 284 out of a possible 320 minutes. The outstanding individual game of the year was played by Robert Clark against White Oak. Pat Cooney was the team's all around linesman, while Dick-- Stine was the best all around back. Tony Brinkman with his versatility of playing just about every position on the squad was considered the most valuable team man.
