Green, White Splrlted Sparkers The five majorettes, sponsored by Miss Ann Lambert, whirled batons in precise patterns during football halftimes. Leading the marching band in complex formations at the same time they juggled batons through the air, these girls proved that their right hand knew what their left was doing. Bits of green and white crepe pa- per littered the field at the Wheaton game as the Pom Pon girls literally shook their pom pons apart in the rain and mud. The 25 girls, spon- sored by Miss Helen Cook, also acted as poised and knowledgeable tour guides at the Sophomore Orientation. Mrs. Jane Grube's 10 cheerleaders supplemented their natural enthu- siasm with a pep ball and pep jug to lure voiceless spectators into vocal- izing. Their ebullient personalities also impressed visitors whom they guided through the school.

C5 mkana Proves Prowess at Meet Daring men on flying trapeze were nowhere near the precision of the Gymkana troupe practicing un- der the precise eye of Miss Jane Grube on the trampoline, minitramp, rings, and uneven bars. Swinging through their routine indoors and out during football and basketball half-times, the group, 35 strong, proved their skill at the YMCA Com- pulsory Gymnastics meet on Febru- ary 17. Facing stiff competition, the ner, Pat Long, Susan English and Ellen Ward took five first places-to seize title in the first of four meets. Conscious of the need for physical fitness, the 115 members of the Girls Sports Association flexed their mus- cles in athletic contests ranging from bowling to track and field. Under the watchful eye of Miss Helen Cook the girls competed in anticipation of the awards banquet at the end of the year. Steve Brodie sings The ,World Turned Upside Down at the Northwood show.
