Games must be arranged and sched- uled, tickets made, teams organized, cheerleaders chos- en, equipment purchased, in- surance bought, and other tasks must be accomplished by the Athletic Association. During the 1948 season, President Michael McCarthy presided over meetings and reported to the Athletic Council. When he was absent, Vice President Darl Sauber took command. Secretary Janet Brunner recorded the minutes while Treasurer Mr. Manwiller juggled the books. Since the sponsors, Miss Shephard and Mr. Shaner, called meetings every two weeks, the association realized that every sport season presented new difliculties. It is to the credit of this organization that athletics in West Reading have become a highly specialized game of skill, holding the interest of spectators and players alike. When we see a football or basketball game, many of us are not aware of the preparation needed to further the sports activity program. The Athletic Council prepares itself weeks ahead of the sport season. Some of their many responsibilities are arranging the schedule, choosing the coach, providing for necessary funds, and last of all, choosing the individual player's award. The Athletic Council met every month with Mr. Yeich presiding. Miss Shephard and Mr. Manwiller found the positions of secre- tary and treasurer stimulat- ' ing and important. Michael McCarthy, student represen- tative, worked arduously with the council to present the games we all enjoyed. ATHLETIC COUNCIL Sitting: M. McCarthy, Mr. Man- willer, Mr. Yeich, Miss Shephard, .
