with kUfkicltocl clieeM. Heap big pow wow! The tom tom beats of F Club members during the big pep rally announce, Indians on the warpath!” While boisterous cheers from the Peppcr- ettes ring out over the stadium, “F” Club silently lends support. Sponsored by the girls’ gym instructors. Miss Ray Davis and Miss Dorothy Breda, this is an honorary organ- ization for girls who have earned letters in sports. The loyalty of “F” Club is apparent, however, as students view the brightly-colored goal posts at every home game decorated previously by the club. Even stronger evi- dence will be furnished at the Thanksgiving pep rally where war whoops echoing over the gym will announce the “F” Club-spon- sored Indian War Dance. Excited Peppcrcttcs Barbara Chcndcs (vice-president), Judy Tubbs (treasurer), Harriet Mims (president), and Jean Ensinger (secretary) discuss the mechanics of the flash card section which will be led by Judy. Pre-game excitement—a member of the team, Ken Hardin, assists Janice Williston, “F” Club mem- ber, with goal post decorating. Gentleman to the rescue! Howard Auer, assistant prin- cipal, helps a too enthusiastic Miss Steinmetz, carried away by the pep rally.

Flint Central opened its 1957-58 football season, bowing to Midland, the top team in the state, by a 25-7 score. Losing the ball twice on fumbles, plus having a 62-yard touchdown run nullified, the disheartened Indians were unable to stop the drive that gave the Chernies their last two touchdowns with only five minutes left to play. Retaliating, the Tribe came through with a narrow victory over Muskegon 27-25. Central scored three of the first four times they had the ball, to make it a 19-19 tie at half time. Late in the fourth quarter, Muskegon tied the game, but the deadlock was broken when Muskegon's quarterback stumbled and fell into his end zone giving Central a safety to clinch the game. Despite a flu outbreak, unrated Flint Central entered Ann Arbor stadium with renewed confidence and grim determination. They held the Pioneers to a 14-14 tie. T he loss of four fumbles as well as an uncompleted pass kept the Tribe from an upset victory over Ann Arbqr. However, the potential shown at Ann Arbor did not materialize in the Bay City game. Against the powerful offense of Bay City, the defense of the Indians was unable to capitalize, giving the Bay City Wolves a 47-6 victory. Hit me hard. Ann Arbor’s line is rough.
