Q . t V2 East High made quite a name for itself this season, winning 10 out of 16 games, taking the city championship, and winning the consolation champion- D ship at the Ashland tournament. East also established a new record by de- U', feating Central three times this year. 4 Gene Welshinger and Mike Hennessy led the team in scorian with 145 q points apiece. East is fortunate indeed, having one of them back again next Kg year. Gene Welshinger will be with us next year and we look forward to his gift leading the team to many victories of the 49,, season. 1, 14 Hennessy was the cleanest player with only 30 fouls. He also estab- W lished a position on the all-tournament team, for which we are all proud. x Bucky Thomas captained the team this year. He is a steady player, a N good floor man and an all-around sportsman. - This will be the last year for the following players: Joe Dinda, Mike Hen- nessy, Marshall Liebaert, all graduating; and Captain Thomas because he will have reached the age limit for high school basketball. We, of East High, wish to thank our team and our coach, Bill Finn, for giving us a year of thrills and entertainment and an excellent example of teamwork and cooperation. INDIVIDUAL SCORING . x ' Fg.

Cheerleaders Row 1. tKneelingl I. Thoreson, M. Rozowski, J. Fonger, C. Heirman, P. Lundgren L. Fonger, J. Waseen, L. Hagen. The 1948 school year is over and it has been a very successful one, not only for the basketball and football teams, but also for the cheerleaders. These cheerleaders have played a major part in all the pep assemblies this year. At these pep assemblies, they led the students 'in various yells and songs of our Alma Mater. Many new yells were also introduced. These cheerleaders did their best to keep up the school spirit whether the team was on top or not. Practice took place regularly twice a week in the gymnasium. They were fortunate enough to have been able to raise enough money to buy their new sweaters. The cheerleaders of East High have done their part for the Red and White.
