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. Left to Right: Lenita Bennett, Pat Potter, I.ibby Menshausen, Barbara Farrar, Carol DeOarmo, Marilyn Burch.

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.

Lenita Bennett, Jack Cunningham, Sally Frye and Beverly Prespare repre- sented our group in the choir which was under the direction of Dr. Frank Cavallo. We can look with pride upon the memory of our initial performance of the year in a half hour broadcast from W. W. S. C. in Glens Falls on January 22nd. Besides several numbers by the entire chorus, Lenita Bennett sang two selections from modern operettas, and a girls’ trio, composed of Pal Cunningham, Dorothy Maxam and Lenita Bennett, sang several old English tunes. A few Glee Club members appeared in the operetta, “The Night Before Christmas,” presented in assembly and also for the Parent- Teachers Association at the December meeting. Representatives from our group were prominent in the cast of “Vaudeville Varieties,” the senior-benefit show given in February. Our final and most important appearance of the year was at Com- mencement exercises in June .... in effect, the swan song for our seniors.
