At the lime of the printing of this Yearbook, Warrensburg High’s 1948-1949 Basketball team had compiled a record of 11 wins and 4 losses and was in second place in the Adirondack Basketball League. Although without the services of two of last year's champions, this year's team has played good ball in many of its games and has always fought hard for victory. It was due to the untiring work of Coach Khoury and the combined efforts of the members of the squad that made it possible for Warrens- burg to put such a good team on the floor. This year, for the first time, a Junior High team was organized to lake the place of a Junior Varsity team. It is made up of players from the seventh .eighth, and ninth grades.

This year, although without the services of five of last year’s cham- pionship squad, Warrensburg High’s Six-Man Football team ended the year with a record of five wins and three loses. The ending of the season found Warrensburg in a tie for second place in the Tri-County Football League. If the squad had not lost key players because of sick- ness and injury in two key games, it might very well have annexed a second straight championship. This success was due in no end to the untiring work of Coach George Khoury who spent many hours in directing practices and coach- ing the team on the field. After the season’s completion we looked hack over the many hours of hard work and our eight games and we found that although we didn't have a championship team we had a fighting team, a team that could win. This year’s team would like to wish all the teams to follow the best of luck and we hope that next year Coach Khoury will not only have a good team hut a championship team.

Last September 30 girls turned out for cheerleading practices in the gym in hopes that they would be the lucky ones chosen as the 48-49 cheerleaders. Finally the day came when they till cheered their best in front of the Student Council and two faculty members who were to choose the cheerleading squad. Six girls: Beverly Prespare, Captain; Shirley Smith. Alice Whitte- niore, Betty Maltbie, Joyce Stone, and Alberta Holt constituted the Vars- ity team. Barbara Farrar, Captain; Marilyn Burch, Lenita Bennett. Carol DeOarmo, Libby Mensbausen, and Pat Potter made the J. V. squad. With many tedious hours of practice behind them, they did excep- itonally well and we know that next year will be as successful.
