Although the cheerleading squad did not get started as early as usual this year, the seven W.R.H.S. rooters made their first appearance at Mc- Indoes on January 4th. A number of new uniforms were made this year which were identical with last year’s—short maroon skirts and waistcoats. The girls wore white long-sleeved blouses, white knee socks, and sported a pom-pom garter on their left leg on certain occasions. The girls gaily cheered the boys’ team on with many new and original cheers. In several cheers they cleverly used batons which were attractively decorated. Th squad consisted of the following girls: Ann Sherwin, Arvilla Boyce, Sandy Roberts, Harriett Pudvah, Beth Evans, Judy Evans and Susan Farwell.

Wu,ic«t WJL School This year, as in past years, a school orchestra was ably directed by Mrs. Jean Spear. Having gained four new members this year, the orches- tra had a total of twelve participants. TheW.R.H.S. Orchestra played at high school activities such as the Prize Speaking and Spelling Contest, the Senior Play, and the One-Act Competition. The orchestra has been a very worthwhile and profitable experience for all of those who partici- pated as well as a source of entertainment to the public at school functions. Mali Homeister, Harriett Pudvah and Robert Murphy were selected as the three students to represent W.R.H.S. in the All-State Chorus this year at the annual All-State Music Festival which was held in Burlington, Vermont, May 2, 3 and 4. Representing Wells River in the All-State Band were Ann Sherwin and Barbara Spear. An unforgettable time was enjoyed by all five students. The Wells River High School Glee Club was under the expert leader- ship of Mrs. Mary Rowe this year. Although the main event of the year for the glee club was the Hilldale League Music Festival at St. Johnsbury, it also sang at several local school functions such as the Class Day and Graduation exercises. With the glee club’s and the orchestra’s activities and the participa- tion in the All-State Music Festival in Burlington, Wells River High School has enjoyed a very active and worthwhile year in music! ,.
