J . V . Cheerleading
Student Of Week
" T - E - A - M l yay, T E A M ! Port!
Port! Port! once again these f a m ous yelps are echoing t h r o u g h the
halls of old P o r t H i g h . The J . V .
cheerleading t r y o u t s are here
again and 22 Junior s are hoping
to be chosen for the 8 - g i r l squad.
The judges of the contest were
Mr. Seeber, M r . B r o w n , Miss Foehrenbach, Carol Carpenter, presdent of the G A A , and the captain
of the present cheerleaders, Pat
Haron. The g i r l s were rated on a
scale of 25 points by each judge.
Up to 5 points for each of the
f o l l o w i n g were counted:
Pep,
j u m p , smoothness of movement,
appearance,
personality
and
poise.
I t may be that the girls who
did w e l l i n the practices made a
poor showing at the tryouts , due
to tension and nervousness. The
final
choices were
announced
soon a f t e r w a r d and an anxious
crowd learned that D o r i n O l tarsh, Annabelle Sloane, C a r o l y n
Gaita, Niba N a t a l o n i , Pat Cooper, Irene Rice, Randi Sontum,
and Catherine M o n t o u r i , had
been chosen for this honor.

G.O.
Christmas
At
Dance
Come on out, kids, save on
shoe leather and have a terrific
time supporting your G. O. This
year the G. O. has come up w i t h
a snazzy idea of having its C h r i s tmas dance a sock hop. It's s t r i c t ly
informal—informal?—whadydya mean i n f o r m a l — j u s t check
your shoes at the door. T h e r e ' l l
be the Aristcrats, a threepiece
band i m p o r t e d f r o m the R i v i e r a ,
that plan to play a great v a r i e t y
of music, t a k n i g o n l y short i n termissions. As always its g i r l
ask boy, beginning at 8:30 and
ending at 12:30. The price is v e r y
reasonable, $1.25 w i t h G. O.,
$1.75 w i t h o u t . The entertainment
promises to be v e r y l i v e l y w i t h
prizes to be given for the b r i g h t est and most unusual socks. I f the
t u r n o u t is as expected, t h e r e ' l l
be a lot of dismayed mothers
Sunday m o r n i n g of December 16
upon seeing d i r t y and w o r n - o u t
socks of their off-springs as tfie
only souvenirs of a terrific evening.
The decorating committee is
already w o r k i n g hard to b r i n g
out the Christmas s p i r i t i n the
decorations.
The c h a i r m a n of
this committee is Dee Dee Davis,
w h i l e Sally Enscoe and J i m m y

Louis
