Freshman Cheerleaders They Start at Assemblies and Never Stop Cheerleading is exciting because we get to meet more people, and we really have fun, said Isadora Martinez. She says, Practice makes perfect and an opportunity to get better acquainted with the other girls. So lsadora really didn't mind staying after school to practice. lsa- dora wanted to become a cheerleader because it was a great chance for her to meet more people and make more friends. Also the cheerleaders gave the freshmen team more spirit and confi- dence in themselves. They raised money by selling candy' and having bake sales for their uniforms and yearbook pictures.

from a Hammer to the Lath Many thousands of years ago men pierced bits of gold for beads or ham- mered them into crude ornaments - probably the first metal known. Much later, but still so long ago that we cannot date it, copper was discov- ered and became of great use. Copper ushered in the age of metal, the beginning of a long and amazing development that has given us thou- sands of products, the steel framework of our skyscrapers, and airplanes, and innumerable things that made the world's good in quantities. Both utensils and weapons were made of copper, and when it was dis- covered, probably by accident, that the admixture of tin formed a hard bronze, metal working was given an impetus that has lasted until today. The Metal Trades Department here at Jefferson used steels as a working metal. They no longer used the method of hammering metal into crude ornaments. They worked the metal in machines some which were, The Lathe - used to cut a round or square steel for the production of various pro- jects. Drill Press -to drill vertical jholes in steel. The Metal Trades members made projects and entered them in their yearly competition V.O.C.T. fVoca- tional Opportunities Clubs of Texasj. This contest was held on March 31 .
