Pom pon Girls Practice Precision Whatta you want? . . . Victory With the cheerleaders as instigators, this cry, in varying degrees of intensity, swelled the gym as the pressure of that 48-48 tie became too much to bear. The girls, guided by a newly published circular from the Maryland Athletic Association which dis- couraged suggestive cheers and emphasized instead short, simple, and meaningful ones, demonstrated ingenuity in the creation of two new cheers Center, End and Victory, Louder. In addition to the traditional marching drills, the Pom pons this year helped cheer the It's Academic team to a near victory at repeated contests. Since the team could not see its score, the girls held up their green pom pons when the team was winning and the white when they were losing. This clever signalling proved an enormous boon to the score- concious team. The majorettes were fortunate enough to be able to accompany the band on its trip to Needham, Massachusetts. A week later the tables were turned as they became the official WJ hostesses to the vis- iting Needham group. Ebullient Cheerleader Captain Pam Payne personifies the en- thusiasm that made this year's squad the peppiest ever. Pom pons: center: Captain M. Allen, clockwise from far left: C.

right Spots an in Gymkanists Nancy Figgins, Tom Cowan, Barbara Hanscom and Dan Keller watch their agile teammate, Gary Nepple, bounce. Sea ong Clint Newby and Dean Kilpatrick strain for a re- bound, but two tenacious B-CC Barons seem des- tined to get possession. Steve Nelson and team captain Dave Yates await the outcome anxiously. The Barons led until the fourth quarter when clutch shots pulled the Spartans from behind to tie the Barons. Then, in overtime, the Green Machine went on to take the game by just two points, 60-58. Staring' intently at the fuzzy little object in the air before him, Joe Fairbanks warms up at the Blair match at Lakewood Country Club, home court of the Spartans' tennis squad. Joe, playing as fourth man on Mr. Raymond Muller's undefeated team, helped capture the league title in '61,
