CHEERLEADERS
This year’s cheerleading squad was coached
primarily by its Co-Captains, Meg Samek and
Becky Orlowski. Their job was to wake spirit in
the spectators, but more importantly, their chief
responsibility was to cheer the teams on. "The
squad has improved a hundred per cent from last
year,” exclaimed Co-Captain Meg Samek. To a
cheerleader, the most critical quality is spirit, and
with this year’s team we could hear it.
Even the spectators have noticed the great improvement
of this year’s relatively young cheerleading
squad. "It was great to have the cheerleaders
at the games to cheer for us, especially
when we didn’t have much of a crowd,” noted one
varsity basketball player. The students of W-H, a
notoriously demanding audience, no longer think
of the cheerleaders as a "joke” organization, but
as the real bearers of the spirit of Wardlaw-Hartridge.

When the chips are down,
And morale is low,
When the team can’t seem
To make it go,
Who brings jumps, and cheers and yells?
W-H’s pom-pommed belles I
Long time has passed,
Since first they cheered,
But proud lovers of Hartridge Sports
Have come to join Wardlaw’s cohorts,
And now each fall and winter rings.
With the cheers and smiles that spirit brings
