Cheerleaders fire up tempest of enthusiesmg Laker county storms A spirit storm is brewing over Laker country. Soul cheers, energized with an injection of thun- deration , gather force at summer sunrise practice sessions. Precision acrobatics, conjured up in the post dismissal solitude of school hallways, exert a light- ningi' influence over clouds of athletic apathy. Sud- denly, football season bursts forth in a flood of victories and a full-fledged tempest of sports enthusiasm is zapped into reality by eight exuberant cheerleaders. Through the Hfantastiquev Homecoming Evening in Paris, the fast-action gym decorating contest, and keen competition for the school spirit banner, varsity cheerleaders whip up a fury of student support. The Junior.Varsity squad cheers irrepressibly on through rain and snow and bleachers bare-supplying JV ballplayers with a storm of sideline encouragement. The spirit forecast promises stormy activity with intermittent periods of cheerleading sunshine. When St. Paul cheerleaders utilize every student energizing scheme, Laker land may well be in the grips of a red and white hurricane of sports spirit.

Track, baseball launch success era Well, I guess we've got a track team . . . theylre not too good though . I hear the baseball team did OK last year, but I didn't pay much attention . Critics of the diamond ninel' and Paulite cindermen ate their words this year, as the spring segment of Laker athletics re- vitalized with a completely new student outlook. The track squad's coach, and greatest success factor, Tony Magni, has after only two years at St. Paul trans- formed a defeated, hopeless team into a spirited troupe of go-getters . These one-track minded Paulites have shown unprecedented enthusiasm, undampened by hours of strenuous sweat-sessions. The only place left for them to go was up - to a victorious track season. The improved attitude of the baseball team stem- med from the addition of coach Greg Pilarski. Upper- classmen veterans, supplying the experience and sparked by the go-power of sophomore rookies provided stiff competition for other teams in the league. Gone are the days of poor track, fair,' baseball. St. Paul embarks upon a new era of spring sports. f 'siiwfszfif f 'VL'V Zifxf' K 'Wi-'fi' f -' fa: r l l 'f 1 2 , '29 -'M ,sam f f- I I .. 45. rtnlifil P4 Ur 3 YPQI fa X N- P402 N-fn . M? PM -A-l
