Assistant Coach V loseph Blaser '32 generously and whole-heartedly offered .V , his services to his Alma Mater when Coach Scharf's duties . , prevented his being with the boys every night. 'i 1 Blaser was a great athlete during his high school days- vvon nine school monograms, and put the greatest enthusiasm into everything he tackled. 'f TWO Years ago he organized an alumni team, that has ' been a credit to Blaser. Wg if Football Captain-Elect . . 1936 Captaineelect Earl Magers '37 was chosen by his next year teammates to lead the Mohawlcs on the gridiron. If' ' Earl will lead a veteran aggregation into battle in the fall. The students are confident that they will bring home many an enemy's scalp. Earl played halfback and was an inspiration to the rest of the team by his great offensive and defensive ability. Foothall Captain . . 1935 Captain Kenneth Holman '36 was placed on the - injured list early in the season, which kept him out of one of the principal games. Playing his old position as guard Kenny led a green squad into the fray and though the Mohawks failed to triumph, they were al- ways in the game to the end. .gg t . Holman won three football letters while he was in fy high school. Cheerleaders Virginia Klinepeter '36 and Dorothy Brickner '38 headed the cheering squad during the past season. Many a lagging spirit soared to a new height as the result of the volume of cheering. Virginia has distinguished herself in many extra-curricular activities. Dorothy, though only a sophomore, has al- ready brought great honor to her Alma Mater. The idea of a cheering squad in the high school was initiated last year by Eleanor Sherman '35 and approved by the Rev. Robert V. O'Connor. Virginia Klinepeter '36 was cheerleader during her junior and senior years. Page Fifty-Eight

Athletic Directors Cyril C. Scharf Rev. R. V. O'Conncr Dr. T. W. Geoqhegan As faculty manager of our high school athletics, Father O'Connor has en- deared himself to every boy who has worn the Black and Gold. A friendly, encouraging word to a trailing squad frequently put that spark of determina- tion into the boys who wanted to Win but seemed to be slipping. Father O'Connor made the trips regularly with the team and was not only a friend and guide but a spiritual leader above all else. Coach Cy Scharf ccmpleted his thirteenth year as Black and Gold mentor. This year his promoticn at the National Carbon company demanded more time and Mr. Stcharf, who will hold the position of Athletic Director will be assisted by Ioseph Blaser '32. Dr. T. W. Geoghegan has been the team's physician for the past five years. The Doctor accompanies the team Whenever his professional duties Will permit him.

During the football and basketball seasons the girls of the cheering squad faithfully attended the games to support the teams and by their cheering lead them on toward Victory. Under the capable leadership of Virginia Klinepeter '36, and Dorothy Brickner '38, the cheering squad has become quite efficient and indispensable to the football and basketball teams. Besides attending all the home games, some of the members of the cheer- ing squad have been present at many of the out-of-town games. The students belonging to this organization are to be congratulated upon their cooperation and interest. Appreciation is extended to them by the boys who so loyally fought for their Alma Mater, either on the gym floor or on the gridiron. We hope that this wondeful organization will continue to exist in the high school and grow larger and more helpful in years to come. During the past school year practice-meetings were held in the mechan- ical drawing room or in the gym, during which various cheers were practiced. M anagers William Wilson '36 -and Vernon Midget Elchert '39 were chosen as stu- dent managers for football. Both lads fperformed their duties faithfully. lf one were to glance into the locker rooms, either William or Vernon was sure to be seen cleaning up. Ioseph Ulman '39 and Gerald Kromer '39 performed similar duties for the basketball squad. Checking equipment and packing grips became easy tasks for these two reliable managers. Page Fifty-Nine
