Show Page YHd 2 March 13, 1963 Cat Yea, Cheerleaders! Fifteen Ralis are you ready, (clap, clap) lets go! Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rail, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah!! CHEERLEADERS! Yea-a-a-a-a-a-- a! This is a well earned cheer which is never heard coming from a student cheering section. But, in many cases they deserve this cheer for their effort in generating school spirit. At B.Y. High those wearing the cheerleading sweaters are four small junior girls. If you dont know their names by now you must be dense. Well, anyway, here they are: Gina Grow, head cheerleader: SueAnn Elliott, Janet Cowley, and Regina Redd. THE HARDEST tiling for a cheerleader to face, is a dead and unenthusiastic crowd. Because, while they are cheering with all their hearts to lead the student-bodin organized cheers, all attention and enthusiasm is directed to the activities of talking, eating, and cerainly not cheering. Gina is the boss Who was feared a loss. Teachers always helped When she got the belt. Sue is seldom in a stew When her voice has the flu. For she is always bubbling With the joy of ever winning. Janet is the dwarf of the merry y Here are the fine cheerleaders of B.Y. High. They are Gina Grow, SueAnn El- - liot, Janet Cowley, Regina Redd. Sportsmanship is a Must Regulations for State Class B Tournament Were going to state!!! Our seasons dream has come true. Brigham Young High School has taken the Region But along with the glory and Seven basketball trophy! This statement is gratifying to yells comes responsibility and an obligation to represent ourselves most people, amazing to some and obvious to everyone, and our school in a pleasing of B.Y. by Anita Bissell High. especially the students Another statement, equally as true as the first, is, Brigham Young High School has taken the Region Seven Sportsmanship trophy! No offense meant to Coach Leishman and our team for their fine basketball playing, but I feel it is far more import-- . ant to receive this trophy for showing good sportsmanship than it is to get one for throwing a ball through a metal hoop more times than your opponents do. ITS ALL FINE and dandy to win a basketball game, but if a team had to beat their opponents brains out to do it, I dont see that anything worthwhile has been accomplished. A player could break his opponents leg preventing him from continuing playing, but' this wouldnt prove anything only that you can break legs. Oh, you may win the game, but you have lost your good name in the process. So far, I have just limited this good sportsmanship to the basketball players themselves. I didnt mean to. That wasnt my intention at all. Besides, all the basketball players are bigger than I am and Id hate to have them mad at me. ACTUALLY, THE ONES that show the most sportsmanship are the players. Theyre out before the crowd and behavior. The coach is cant show too much unsportsman-lik- e watching them, their friends are watching them, their parents are watching them, and besides, if theyd slug a referee, their girl friend would never speak to them again. So, you can see, theyre certainly going to show good sportsmanship all the time. (Well, 95 per cent of the time.) MY MAIN CONCERN is with the studentbody of B.Y. High. They are as important in relationship to sportsmanship as is the team. Members of the audience cannot be punished for booing th referee. Therefore, the studentbody must rely on their own character to refrain from showing poor sportsmanship. This week our team and a large majority of our students will be traveling to Salt Lake City for the Class B tournaments. It is extremely important that everyone, students, team members, and coaches, show the best of B.Y. by displaying excellent, yes, excellent, sportsmanship. LAST WEEK, we received the sportsmanship trophy. This meant our school has displayed the best sportsmanship throughout the season. This is all fine and swell for B.Y. But, just because weve got that trophy in the trophy case doesnt mean we can stop having good sportsmanship and start throwing pop bottles at the referees every time they look at our boys. When we go up to the tournament, many people will be judging us, not only as the best sports in Region Seven, but as representatives of B.Y.U. and the L.D.S. Church. Now, if we go up there and act like hoodlums, you can see what that would do to our reputation as good sportsmen. I DONT THINK anyone will act like juvenile delinquents. At least, I hope not. But. B.Y. must be extra careful in their actions in Salt Lake. We must show to everyone just why we won those trophies, (both the sportsmanship and the basketball.) An audience can enjoy a game, be concerned about the team when theyre losing, and everything else without showing poor sportsmanship. You dont need to denounce a referee just because he called a foul against your school. Just take it easy, everything will turn out for the better. A good thing to do is to watch the team members and follow their example of good sportsmanship. So. students of B.Y. High, go up. to the tournaments, enjoy the game, yell and support your fine team. But, show everyone that B.Y. High deserved that sportsmanship trophy. manner. As we all know, along with privileges come responsibilities and rules. The privilege we have is to go to the games at Salt 1963. Lake City on March The rules that we must obey in order to have these privileges 13-1- 6, are: SINCE SCHOOL will be held during the tournament, students who wish to attend games must purchase a ticket from the Central Office for bus fare. If the game is during school time, this ticket will be your excuse from class. The ticket will be about $1.00 for each round trip. Stu- dents who wish to go with parents must bring notes from home so stating. Other students will not be allowed to ride with other students or parents. Busses will run each game for students in grades 9 through 12. Admission to the game will be about 50c with studentbody cards. If we obey these rules and yell as loud as we can for the B.Y. High WILDCATS We will take state! Pep Band Another of B.Y. Highs outstanding school organizations which had added greatly to our school spirit this year is the fine B.Y. High Pep Band. Under the capable direction of student conductor, Paul Van Wagenon. the pep band has been present at all home games to boost school spirit with their snappy tunes. THE PEP BAND is made up of members of the high school Wind Ensemble, with the exception of those members who play on the team. Then, of course, there are the drums which aid the band extrepaejy.- Even though not much is said about this fine and talented organization, their contribution to the games, pep rallies, and the spirit of the school is greatly This paper was printed in appreciation to our very fine team, the two excellent coaches, the manager, the pep club, the pep band, the cheerleaders, and everyone else concerned with the State tournament. We felt that these people needed this recognition for their fine work. It is the expressed hope of the paper staff that the team will take that State trophy and bring it back to this fine school of our. GOOD LUCK!!! little group, With eyes that shine to lighten the troup. Regina is the one with mouth always open Cheering the team with heart just a hopin. Willie is the spirit of dear B.Y. High. But, Mary is the soul of that dear old guy. IN ORDER to be heard, the small voice of B.Y. High must unite and let everyone hear the ROAR for the WILDCATS!!! The cheerleaders want to thank all those who have supported them and the team in the past season. But, they just want to say to everyone now, Lets all try and support our team the best we can, and as Cheerleaders, we also will be willing to go at top speed to keep up the spirit of the team and studentbody. Much thanks and recognition is given to these four hard-workin- hard-cheerin- girls. g B.Y. g, High Our Team When asked what he thought of B.Y. Highs basketball team, the coach of Ogden High, said that he had seldom been so impressed. I HAVE NEVER seen such a business-lik- e team, he said. The B.Y. Wildcats walked into our gym early, all dressed smartly alike, sat down together, watched our Junior Varsity game, got up when it was three quarters over to get ready, came out, beat us, thanked us for the game, and left. Even though it is small, the team has built a big reputation for itself. It is up to us as the studentbody to support the team and support the good reputation that our team is building for B.Y. High. ' Pep Club Adds Pep "Bui, why cant I join the Let-tman's club? I like sports, I'm qualified, all the members like me, and you still wont let me join. Why cant I? I keep telling you, girls cant be Lettcrmen. Its Letter-MEAnd the club not Letter-womerules say no girls! and youre a girl. Whats wrong with that? I dont care what you call me, I still dont see why I cant join. "Look . . . Im sorry but . . . PLEASE LET me join. Please, please PLEASE!!! Youll be sorry all right!!! We girls will show you who can promote school spirit best. When were finished no one, absolutely NO ONE will question who has the better organized organization. And this is how the Pep Club had its origin. Fortunately, for the school, (and maybe for the Letterment girls cant join the Letterman's club. Ever since we have seen belles in blue walking the halls on the day of the basketball games. THEY CHEER, they yell, they clap, and they promote school spirit by supporting every basketball game. No one group can take more credit for getting the Sportsmanship Trophy for B.Y. High than can these hard working and determined members of the fairer sex. What would our cheering section be like without the Pep Club? (In looks as well as noise). Who are the first ones to learn new cheers, to yell them, to cooperate, to obey school rules? The pep club of course!!! The boys did make somewhat of a comeback by introducing the Sons of Brigham, but they didnt quite make it did they girls? e. n. WE CONGRATULATE these girls who have done such a fine job throughout the football and basketball seasons in supporting our boys by pushing from behind as they climbed to victory. Did they accomplish their goal? Yes! We all have to agree they showed up the fellows in enthusiasm, sportsmanship and spirit. Leading this fine group is Shar-leeStone, president; Barbara Stringfellow, vice president; Helen Margaret Wakefield, secretary; Linda Hansen, and Miss Geraldine Critchley is the group n historian-Sergeant-at-Arm.- Here are the seats in the fieldhouse up in Salt Lake. Are you going to let them remain empty, or are you going to fill them and see B.Y. High take State??? s, |
