Show Page 2 Yld Cat Comely Cheerleaders Lead Noisemakers At BYH Ball Games Dont Gripe ; Spirits All Right by Kraton King by Letty Lant of the pep and vigor around the B. Y. high school has been shown to you by our three cheer leaders. Such things as the carnival, pep rallies and assemblies have been sponsored and . directed by the girls. Dallyne Brown, brown hair, big brown eyes, five foot six, heads the list of cheerleaders. Dal has attended the Y high since she was a junior and has won high favor with the students. Dallynes greatest ambition is to become a history teacher (a second Mrs. Caine). People who dont tell you whats on their mind is her pet peeve and her only one. She seems to have a long day with to getting up at 7 a.m. and going bed at 2 a.m. She must be working pretty hard or something. Swimming is tops with her as far as sports go and from what Ive heard, she is pretty good. Blonde, five foot four and one-halMary Ann Godfrey is the middle one of the yelling three. Mary is tops in tennis and has won a few trophies for herself. She says, I know what I want and Im going to get it. (I wonder if she has her 45 ready.) Her pet peeve is people who are late. Mary Ann has attended the Y since she can remember and thats a pretty long time. Marys future seems to be set out for sports with tennis, skiing, and ping pong ability. She plans to be an air hostess. Our other top cheerleader is Joan Bullock. Joan has long brown hair, and is five feet, six inches tall. Her favorite pastime is sun bathing. You ought to see her in the summer time with that beautiful tan. Sometimes it pays off. too. Joan hails from Canada and has attended the high school since she was a sophomore. Nursing seems to be her ambition. Her pet peeve is Dal Brown, and people who ask her which boy she is going with this week. All f, Well, students, here it is the middle of February, and still we can hear voices discussing the lack of school spirit. Of course theres always room for improvement, but I wonder if anybody has thought of some of the good things that have come from the doings of our many talented brethren. For instance, the enlivening drills of the Fauvines, the entertaining assemblies, or the music concerts and the class parties just mentioning a few of the activities that were planned by you the student. This is one case where I believe in the old saying of Where And speaking of things that are old. thats something more to bring out on how things could be worse. Take the case of old man Johanson or any other pioneer who went to school some fifty or seventy years ago. They can tell you how school was when the going was rough. And nine times out of ten scholars by saying Bah, sissies---ye- s they concluded to us modern-daits true, for they had no steam heated building to keep them warm; they never that their pick of school subjects. Pencils, movies, or even books of their own was unknown, and a teacher with a hickory stick in one hand and the book of learning in the other was their sole educational administrator. Oh they were human alright and had recreation but, what there was of it was confined to their one roomed schoolhouse or the not always comfortable outdoors. And the now main issue of school spirit wasnt even heard of. Yes, things could be a lot worse when it comes to displaying the woes about school, including the spirit part. But to get back to our more prevailing concerns of present day school, I think that each and everyone of you will agree with me that the progress of our school is a remarkable parable in itself. Spiritually or materially, you can take your choice and find improvements. However, theres a drawback to all wonderful things and B. Y. high is no exception. As you can probably tell by now a school is tied to the shirt-tail- s of its students. It can only advance when they do. And as a further discouragement there have been times when students have taken their shirts off and left them by the wayside. But you know here at B. Y. high a few buttons may have been popped a couple of times lately, but its very noticeable that bare backs are a rarity here. Yes, students, weve come a long way, but have just as far to go. Lets keep going spiritually and materially. theres smoke theres fire. y Fauvines Spice at the During the basketball games a routine is put on by some of the girls of the school. Better known as Fauvines. This year their uniforms are of a soft gray wool with their names in gold. The first march the pep club did was at Lincoln.

Yld Cal Feb. 15, 1952 Half-lTn- e Action Female Wildcats Are Full of Pep; And They Need It Do you ever wonderwhat happens to half the girls in school from 12 to 12:30? Then, all of a sudden they are all over the building, swarming and eating singing songs. It really is no mystery they are the Fauvines or girl Wildcats, practicing for the basketball games. After those horrid days of tryouts, anxiety of whether or not they got in, and the initiation, the new members start practicing in 250 A. They have to learn how to turn the corners right, keep the right spacing, and keep up the good posture. By the time the old members come in and they all start practicing together, the new members feel pretty proud of themselves, but get knocked down several steps when the experienced ones start bossing the green ones around. After a week or so of straight drilling, a game is coming up, so they have to start practicing a march. It takes a couple of days of yelling around and scads of confusion, then everyone begins to catch on to the different positions, and the march begins to look like something instead of a bunch of girls grouping together and having a gab session that sounds a dozen times worse than a beehive. After a week of learning the new marches and songs, comes the fatal night when they have to show what they know which usually shows nothing! They forget which way to turn, and almost always, the songs leave their minds entirely, and so about all they do is march |
