This year's cross country team showed a marked improvement over last year's squad and improved steadily as the season went on. Coach Doc Sanford was especially pleased with the hard Work and Willingness to win of his harriers. Central's men placed filth in the west side league meet. Leading the harriers were track stars, Bill Stephens and Hal Thom- as two of the outstanding athletes at Central. Hal graduates this summer but Bill will be back next season to once again spark the Bla- zer cross country team. Letter winners were: Hal Thomas, Bill Stephens, Nehemiah Pitts, Herman Goldberg, Douglas Talbot, Benny Sol- omon and Art Leiberman. Who keeps up our teams' spirits when things aren't going right? Who are the girls who lead the school in blue and White with screaming cheers? The Cheerleaders ot course, and We salute them for the fine job they have done again this year at all our athletic events. This year the girls were led by Margaret White who did a superb job in helping to teach the student body the many cheers and songs ot Central. Many undergraduate girls participat- ed on the cheerleaders and Will be back again next year to lead Centralites in cheering for their favorite teams. CHEERLEADERS - Row l - B. Wiler Row 2 - E.

Along with exciting football must go good sportsmanship and Central can be proud to say that we had both during the tall of 1953. We were not only proud of our athletes on the gridiron, but were equally proud of the stu- dents in the stands, who at all times conducted themselves in a manner commendable to Central. seventeen
