CHEERLEADERS limmy Scott, Barb Jroberg, Val Claus QhstsuiimjdshA., “Let’s have a‘Yea, Downers and spell it out! What do you say?” was the cry of Val Claus, Barbara Broberg and Jim Scott, rooters-in-chief for our teams this year. With six years of cheer-leading behind him, Val, senior member of the squad, has missed only one game in four years. Barbara and Jim, junior and freshman respectively, will be back next year doing the same fine job, so let’s have a “Yea, Rah, Rah, Cheer-leaders! What do you say? QiwhiL fotuiJbuf. With a squad of only eleven men including few lettermen, the cross country team, under the direction of Mr. Donovan Ingles, could boast only an average season. They split their dual meets, beating Morton and York and losing to Hinsdale and Riverside. Their entrance in the Conference Meet netted them fifth place. Bretz, Burns, Witmer, Lekatsos, and Keistler contributed much to the success of the team and earned their letters. 20 TOP ROW T. Thrawl, B Keistler, J. Elliott, T. Oifanas, P. Burns, D Ingles.
