NO TEAM COULD go on to victory without the cheering and backing of the entire student body. Centra1's cheerleaders give the students a chance to back their teams with encouraging yells. The varsity cheerleaders pictured are: First row, Bill lvlichell, Glenn Lewtong second row, George Hathert, Mr. lrwin Arnold, coach, and Bob Cottingham. To them goes a great deal of credit for the Tigers' good showing this year. To qualify for varsity cheerleading, a boy must have had his training in the cheerleaders' class that Mr. Arnold conducts on each Wednesday after school. ln this class the cheerleaders learn the yells and how to lead them. Experience in cheerleading is obtained in leading at the pre- liminary games. Letters, only, are given to the varsity cheerlead- ers each year until they become seniorsewhen - .v?'? they receive both letters and sweaters. ,fi C4 u...QV,,,., it ,S R .. -f X. n ,X Lx if 'R SEASON SCORE IS CENTRAL 228, OPPONENTS O1 6 If Sept. 20 Central 27 Central Catholic O Oct. 22 Central 33 Columbia City 24 Sept. 27 Central 39 Decatur O Oct. 23 Huntington 21 Central 7 Oct. 4 North Side 13 Central Oct. 25 Central 31 New Castle 7 Oct. 11 Central 33 Auburn Nov. 1 Central 14 Hgmmgnd Clark 7 Oct. 18 Central 14 Shortridge Nov. 9 Central 24 South Side 7 CENTRAL-SOUTH SIDE Iohnny Leon, the Tigers' hard-driving All- City fullback, is shown as he plunges six yards through the heart ot the South Side line to score six more points for Central. lt was the great play ot Leon and Dick Tackett that led the Bengals to this 24-7 smashing victory over the Archers in the final game of the season, November 9.
