Varsity Club The lights are flipped off, the projector begins to whir, and the image of twenty-two high school boys strewn over a football field is flashed across the screen. A flood of comments comes from the Varsity Club mem- bers watching the film. Look at that block you missed Mike , Nice pass, Bill , Where were you on that play, John? All members of the Varsity Club have achieved a letter in football, basketball, track, or baseball, maintain at least a C average, and have an intense interest in sports. Al- though the club didn't hold its first meeting until after the football season, nevertheless it made many contributions to the school. Officers for l958-59 have been president, Sam LoPresti, vice-president, Jim Buell, treas- urer, Bob Woodward, and secretary, Paul Norris. The Maiorettes The colorful majorettes helped spark pep and build spirit at football games by giving impressive displays of their twirling skill dur- ing the half-time performances. When our school band won second place in Class A marching band competition held at the Beth- esda Christmas Parade, much of the credit was due to the leaders of the band--our snappy majorettes. The student body enjoyed seeing the majorettes strut their stuff at the first all-school pep assembly held in October. Heading the squad this year was Captain Ellie Houyoux. The other members of her squad were Marilyn Twiss, Bunny Kyber, Phillis Johnson, and Diane Counselman. f...W.f,M W,,,.,..,,,..,, W Seated: Richard King, Bob Powers, Jim Buell, Bill Loving Kneeling: Bill Grey, Bill Blomquist, Tom Lomond, Charlie Mathews Jim Gibbons Jack Byrd, Steve Kellner Standing: Eugene Merryman, Art Barnes, Mike Kingston Jack Pillack Pete Lab ovitz, Frank Black, Paul Norris, Bill Wootton, Warren Price Carl Woxman Bill Butler, Bob Taylor, John Murdock, Schuster Vance Varsity Club Malorettes Marilyn Twiss, Bunny Kyber, Ellie Houyoux, Phillis Johnson, Diane Counselman A 5 QQ . , J' ,.., 7 x K..

Tennis Team Walter Johnson's racquetmen took to the clay this spring with two seasons of experience under their belts and a full schedule of matches confronting them. The team, coached by Raymond I. Muller met such perennial powerhouses as Landon and B-CC in this season's competition. 1959 TENNIS SCHEDULE May 6 B-CC vs. WJ At B-CC May 8 Wakefield vs. WJ At Wakefield May I3 B-CC vs. WJ At WJ May I5 Wakefield vs. WJ At WJ May 20 Blair vs. WJ At Blair May 27 Blair vs. WJ At WJ Pom pons Team Guide rightl To the left flank march, step turn, to the rear march, step turn . . . These are familiar commands to the 24 juniors and seniors who make up the Pom pons. The girls tried out in April of last year and were selected on the basis of their marching ability, personality, and grades. Beginning in the heat of July they practiced twice a week before school started in the fall and every day after school began for the opening football game in September. Anne Emery and Sylvia Knott, co-captains, taught the girls precision marching and routines and led them at the half-time football shows. Later on in the year the Pom pons partici- pated in the all-school Christmas Assembly and did a wild can-can in the February Pops Concert.

The seven seniors and two juniors who made it were chosen late in April, l958, from among the hundred hopeful applicants who tried out after several clinics, lt is evident that the cheerleaders believe in the old soying, practice makes perfect, for they started practicing twice o week late in June for the football season and con- tinued to practice diligently throughout the summer months. By September, the start of the football season, the cheerleaders were set to build spirit and produce pep through the use of short snappy yells which are a distinc- tive WJ trademark. After the football season came the basket- ball season whereupon the cheerleaders moved indoors, here they continued to spur our team on to victory. Not all the cheerleaders' time was spent practicing or cheering at games. They showed their artistic talent by making a giant horse- shoe for the football game as well as a paper hoop through which the members of the bas- ketball team ran onto the court. The cheer- leaders also undertook many projects which included maintaining a cheerleading clinic, sponsoring a sockhop after the Northwood game, participating in evaluation and also in o stote-wide cheerleading clinic. The squad this year was sponsored by Miss Jane E. Short and was headed by Stacey Lomond. ,M i-N' ich.. ww f ,ff 536' ,ff Qgmyn
