FEOM THE cwmL’zmms
Gosh-Just look at that crowd I
ViThy does every single person in the
county have to come to our ballgames?
They certainly do a swell job of mak
ing me nervous• Reckon the rest of
them ever get nervous? I don't suppose
so5 they haven't mentioned it. Here
I go, time to try a cheer. Oh, no,
not fifteen rahs \ I don't guess
I really needed those knees anyway,
VJhoops I I slipped in the mud. "Why
did those ole* spectators have to be
watching? I can just feel my embar
rassment climbing up my legs, I t'd.sh
they would yell as hard as they
laugh. Chief sajrs it's time to do
another cheer. Let's go Seim—
Smithfield. Now please don't throw
those drinks on me. ‘I didn't mean
to step on your toe • I'm still on
it, you say 1 Please excuse me,
sir. Yes sir, I’ll watch where I'm
going.
Loyal fans of S, H. S. this is only
a tiny sketch from the usual routine
of a cheerleader. I can truly say it
has been fun and there never was a
dull moment, I wish to thank you
on the behalf of the cheerleaders for
your fine co-operation during our
Wonderful football season. Let's
make basketball just as successful
and let's keep up our support of the
team with loads of yelling. Only
you can help us retain the ole' Red
Devil spirit.

SMITHFIELD VERSUS BENSON
Wouldn't anybody go in for you?
Seems as if everybody likes o\ir
new coach. Huh, girls?? Gosh, those
boys sure played a scrumbunctious (?)
game. Don't we have some tall boys
this year, especially our co—captains,
Jerry H. and Douglas H, You boys
certainly are a great help to the team.
By the way, did ya see Joe Glenn chasing
that boy? It looked like a hound dog
chasing a rabbit (*cept the other way
round), From two green freshmen to the
silly sophomore boys—you all really
^ayed a splendid game. Keep up the good
work.*
That score of Smithfield ? and
Benson ? looked mighty good on the
scoreboard. Sure hope we can keep
that up.
We think all in all it x-zas a very
good sportsmanlike game, Hope we’ll
soon be able to vdn games in our new
gym. See ya at the games,

HOW I FFLT WHEN I GOT ON THE BASKET
BALL TEM
Have you ever wanted to do some
thing just a lot, like play basketball?
Well, I ha,ve. The afternoon Mr. Brown
called Mary Ann, I looked, then scmeone
said, '>Which Mary Ann?" It was I, I
just don't know how I felt or what I did.
It xfas one of the few seconds of my life
that I will never forget. A thought that
quickly flashed in mind was, a chance
to represent my school, Smithfield High
School. Then I began to feel more and
more excited.
All the x/eek-end my friends would
. congratxilate me, and I would think.
Buzz- there goes the clock starting ,5^^ real, tha.t I am on the tea
our first basketball game. As freshmen
We sat excited and attentive. Oh, by
the way, what did you say the score was ?
Although we didn’t x^rin, x^e thinlc every
one will agree the girls played an
exceptionally good game. BoyJ those'
girls really were hustling out there,
especially our fellow freshmen (Having
trouble getting the splinters out Betty
Lou, Nancy and Mary Ann?), No,
seriously we are extremely proud of
these girls and everyone else who xvas
fortxxnate enough to make the team-
•‘■orLxma'oe enougn uu uictj\c oiio —- ^ave
as we weren’t. Say, what was wrong Ann Br *
Is this real, th£?.t I am on the team?
Will I get a red suit?*' I have often been
told to be patient5 time will pass.
Believe me it did, Monday I got my suit
after practice. It is number six, my
sister's suit of last year. I suppose I
just danced when I received it; just don't
ask me. It is a beautiful red suit trimmed
in white and means more to me than anything
else I can think of.
I x-roxjild like to say I am glad to be
la part of Smithfield Girls * Basketball
team; I shall give to it the best that I
