Basketball This season Dwane VViricks's boys got off to a good start by trouncing Elsie 30-13. With the help of four returning letter men and by bringing up from the second squad Dale Knight, Fred C. Green, Donald VVager, and Dick Brock, St, johns this year has a well-balanced team. The last two games played before our annual went to press kept the spectators on the edge of the bleachers. The St. johns and Ithaca teams played a hard game all the way with the Redwings coming out on top with a score of 28-27. Then the Grand Ledge Comets invaded St. Johns. Playing a deliberate type of offense, the Comets were leading at the half by a score of 9-8. Then in the second half the Redwings started to hit the basket and held a lead until about one minute of play was left, one of the Ledgers made a basket which tied up the ball game. VVith seconds left Alden Knight made a field goal and St. Johns won 22-20. At this time Jack McGregor leads the team in scoring with Elliot Berkhousen closely following. If the rest of the team starts to hit the basket with regularity, the Redwings should make a good showing in' the VVest Central League. The reserve team, coached by Mr. Terry Carey, is doing a fine job. So far they have won two games and lost one. He should have some good material ready for the first team next year. 62

ym Leaders This is a new group organized to demonstrate activities, assist the squad members in execution of activities, serve as officials in games, and take care of equipment. Leaders' meetings for instruction are held once a month when new material is demonstrated and practiced. Then problems are discussed. Usually four or six leaders are chosen for each hour depending upon the size of the class. The leaders are chosen by vote of the members and must have the following requirements: dependability, perfect attendance, demonstration ability, seriousness of purpose, and general esteem by the squad members. When Miss Eilola, the instructor, is busy the leaders conduct activities with little or no supervision. First Row: Lois Nuecliterlein, Joann Baker, Carol Smith, Margaret Houser, Nancy Symmonds, Sally Redfern, Laura Taylor, Mary Donna Lawrence, jacquelyn Marentette, Laree Deprez.

XVell planned asseniblies, new yells, and an energetic group to back the cheer leaders raised the sehool sririt this fear. 1 The ehder leaders started the football assemblies witl1 their interpretation of the melodrama, The Lighthouse Keepers' Daughter . They helped to stimulate an interest in athletics by planning a variety of pep nieetings.
