Rita Strang jumps high to toss the ball to Maria Deaton. Virginia Nolan keeps an eye on it to keep it from the enemy’s hands. Virginia Nolan aims for the basket as Stephanie Young gives her an encouraging cheer. The Crusaderettes came up the victors in the end. Team work and team ideals are combined with practice and expert coaching to produce the prospective team which has come forth from Wildwood Catholic this year. Coach, Mrs. Keene, and moderator, Sister Ann Cecilia, have trained a Junior Varsity which has still greater potential to be developed. Their sports- manship and their never-say-die attitude concerning their games have made their skillful coaching and the team's efforts profitable and worthwhile. The Crusader- ettes at all times display these prized possessions: friendship, unselfishness, and the spirit which characterizes Wildwood Catholic Athletic participants.

GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL Crusaderettes is a name often spoken in the halls of Wildwood Catholic. This is the girls' basketball team. Spirit and good sportsmanship run high among the players. This year the girls have used a number of plays that seems to have startled and confused the other teams. This is something new and has proven, in most cases, to be a success. Yet, win or lose, the team is always in a good humor. Girls' basketball gives its members a chance to develop to a fuller extent, the ability to work with others and a sense of responsibility — traditional qualities at Wild- wood Catholic. Carol Franco and Bonnie Mulligan struggle to keep the ball for the Crusaderettes. The menacing hand belongs to Miriam Jaggard, who played for the Alumnae.

CHEERLEADERS Who's the missing link? The phantom hand belongs to Pat Asselta. Mary Cartolano, Pary Lion, and C. Krouse form the rest of the human chain. As Lyn Jenner gives the signal, Captain Lillian Hickey goes over to the cheers of Yeah, Mac! Varsity cheerleaders P. Lion, C. Krouse, L. Hickey, L. Jenner, M. Cartolano, and P. Asselta are responsible for the unmistakable Wildwood Catholic spirit at games. With initiative and team effort these girls set the precedent for the student body.
