MORE CROTON MEMORIES: VARSITY CHEERLEADING THEN AND NOW

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

INTRODUCING CROTON MEMORIES, a new series that will focus on Croton from the 1940's through the 1970's, more or less. 

VARSITY CHEERLEADING
THEN AND NOW 

We sometimes forget the importance of the Cheerleading Squad, those energetic and enthusiastic young men and women, often athletic in their own right, who show up at every game—ready to whip the crowds—and the team--into a school spirit frenzy—whatever the weather. Generation after generation…So here’s a toast to the cheerleaders then and now. Click on the photo to see the Varsity Cheer Squad of 1946-1947, courtesy of Croton’s Historical Society—then visit today’s Croton Cheer Squad at http://www.flickr.com/photos/22283683@N07/5378829031/ and http://msgvarsity.com/westchester/croton-harmon/croton-harmon-cheerleaders-1.116571

  3. Not that it makes any difference this far down the road but the names in that picture are incorrect. Theresa McCoy is the tall girl third from the left, Not Patricia Rhode. I remember Theresa very well as a young boy who was always at her dad's grocery store hoping to see her.
