-The long and short of it Alfonso De Luca, his assistants Margo Hyde, Shirley Van Allen, Roxanna Quimby, Bar- ney Jamison and Rudy Helden, went through their antics on muddy fields and against strong gales. A new member of the cheering squad was Our Hurldrrd Tbirty-four Corgyf, a terrifying Bulldog. Corgy super- vised with his Upsala jacket on and pipe in his mouth. This year a new routine was put in prac- tice by having the Cheerleaders precede the band in a march down chapel hill and on to the field where Roxanna Quimby and Shirley Van Allen held the American Flag as the band played our National Anthem. The students strongly advocated pep ral- lies in a big way, and much enthusiasm was displayed as the Cheerleaders led cheers and songs. Spontaneous entertainment came from the students in the form of songs, piano playing and instrumental solos. The rallies proceeded with a stupendous snake dance around the bonfire with the Cheer- leaders in the front of the procession. From the snake dance there emerged mad scram- bling to get into cars and continue the pro- cession around East Orange. Horn tooting and much yelling announced to the public that Upsala was full of spirit for the next days game. The procession halted at the Corral which became the gathering spot to finish out the evening. Many people d01ft realize how important the Cheerleaders are to a football game. Cer- Rah! Rah!

Ruth Kupferer and Dorris Bodine not only did their valiant best as forwards, but frequently came to the aid of the undermanned guard department, after Betty Racine joined the ranks of the visitors. Jean Lindstrom and Eilleen Downs were Trojan on defense but were handicapped by their lack of height. The Cheerleaders had a varied and busy season this year. The football games at home were inspired by the rooting lead of the Cheerleaders. Under the head Cheerleader, JEAN LINDSTROM AILEEN LEACH EDITH OLSON
