At the heart of Whetstone's athletic program are classes in physical education which help both boys and girls to develop bodily strength and skills and to expand their knowledge of related areas. Because the time alotted these classes is inadequate to insure every student proper physical fitness, they serve mainly to impress upon him the importance of such fitness so that he will carry on outside of class the work of developing strength, coordination, and overall athletic ability. Athletic Director Dodds heads up the program, consisting of Block W, cheerleaders, Varsity W, Girls' Interschool Basketball, GAA, and varsity Boys head for speedball game. Mr. Lafe Dodds, as Athletic Director, oversees ath- letic activities ranging from athlete eligibility to ticket count. 80 sports. In phys. ed. girls learn folk dances in addition to regular sports.

Chris Strauss, left, and Donn Schumaker There is more to a cheerleader than a pleated skirt, a letter sweater, slightly used sneakers, and seemingly inexhaustible energy. Beneath it all there is a girl who has the same joys and sorrows as every girl . . . except her good times and bad times tend to be the stu- dent body's property. A cheerleader must be a character of unquestion- able reputeg she must,watch her language, her dress, her activities, her behavior. To many the honor exceeds the disadvantages, from among these the cheerleaders are chosen. The cheerleaders' responsibilities began this summer when the girls began working to earn money to purchase new uniforms. The source of income ranged from bake sales and car washes to the painting of an entire garage. During the school year their re- sponsibilities extend far beyond pep rallies and games. The girls promote school spirit with posters, booster badges, and general high hopes. The job of cheerleading is a time consuming one, but it is not with- out its rewards. The hours of prac- tice and the restricting rules are lost and forgotten in the laughter and chatter of the before-the-game spreads, in the roar of an enthusi- astic crowd, and in the knowledge of an honor well-deserved.
