The 1948-49 cheerleading squad did a fine job of leading the crowd and spurring Westtown's teams on to their many victories. The cheerleaders were active in boosting morale at soccer, hockey and basketball games, come rain or shine, mud or dust. On the night before many a big game, spirited cheers and songs could be heard echoing from the gym, proof of the enthusiastic pep rallies being held there. Seven veterans of last year's squad re- mained and try-outs were held early in the year to choose an eighth member and three subs. As a result Barby Miller joined the squad, and Buzz Hawkins, Mary Ann Kupp, and Elsa von Haesler were admitted as subs. New cheers volunteered by the student body were initiated in the cheer line-up. Captain Sue Bieber kept the girls on their toes with frequent practices for more pep! The bus trip to Girard for a thrilling soccer gave the squad a chance to stand behind the team outside of Westtown. Here at school they are remembered for their successful pep rallies at which many a shy coach or captain was coerced inm giving an extemporaneous speech, as well as their peppy contribution to Westtown's sport events.

However, with the help of Katherine Williams, Teacher Barbara and Master Russ, who had the new crews well planned before school started, both old and new students have easily adjusted to the new conditions. Though Bob Young, the boys' head, was an old member, the girls' head, Margie Hoag, and most of the other members of this year's W.P.C. were serving for the first time. Following a sug- gestion made last year, the two student heads have presided over weekly meetings. A nurnbet of additions have been made to the duties distributed by Work Program as a result of suggestions made in meetings by interested students. Among the most important change was that of installing waiters in the dining room as a regular work job. This has displaced the mad dash to the kitchen for food which took place at every meal before the present system was instituted. The committee wishes to express its thanks to the student body for their co-operation and interest in this important part of West- town life, the Work Program.

This is the well-known announcement for an A.A. meeting. Colonel called the first meeting last fall, and with president Tom Kennan presiding over formalitiesg Dick Glidden, secretaryg Bill Wildman, treasurerg plus the managers of the major sports, Fisher, Rettew and Doane, they swung into action. A.A. dues raised, soccer nets bought, new basketball jerseys acquired and the final okay attached to awards, are a few accom- plishments of the board.. Letters are awarded on the recommenda- tion of the coach and captain of the sport, who submit a list of varsities and j.v.'s to the board. They discuss doubtful prospects and then pass it, as any formal business meeting would. Besides passing bills that must be paid, the board discusses projects that should be started, with an eye to the future. Due to a limited budget they cannot do everything at once. In the end, needed articles such as uniforms and equipment will be bought. With the end of the athletic year, in late May, the board col- laborates with the Girls' A.A. in giving the annual Athletic Ban- quet before passing on responsibility to the new board.
