Cheerleading The cheerleaders this year were a great asset to the school as an inspiration to the ball teams. Skill and good appearance proved worthwhile enough to capture second place for the varsity cheerleaders in the lntervalley Cheerleading Contest. Comprising the varsity cheerleading squad were Eloise Primeau, Shirley Grower, Rosemary Maxwell, joan Autenrith, and Elaine Farrell. The junior varsity cheerleaders also displayed much skill and were instrumental in helping the junior varsity team to a successful season. This squad was comprised of Ann Willard, Sally Willard, Mary jane Danielski, Priscilla Collin, and Joan Whiting. Mrs. Rathbun, the English teacher, did a swell job of coaching these girls last season. We regret that she won't be with us next year. Girls' Sports News The Senior High School girls, under the supervision of Mrs. Young, have had an active year in sports ranging from soccer to basketball. There have been three play days this past year featuring volleyball, soccer, and basketball. Several girls participated from West Canada each time. Last fall, at the beginning of the school year and until November, the girls' softball teams had a ball game every noon. Most of the girls took a great deal of interest in the sport. The Senior girls hope the other girls who will be here next year will have as much interest in all the sports as they have had this past year. So sports afield! lntramural Sports The intramural sports program proved to be very successful this year and was enjoyed by everyone. Coach Rands return aided much in establishing a better system of intramurals, especially for the boys. Five basketball teams were organized, and much interfteam competition developed. As for the girls, they too organized teams which also participated in noonfhour competition. The girls were under the supervision of Mrs. Young. 4235
