Grove, Mr. XVeatlicrwax The C Club is one of the most prominent organi- zations in Clarion High School with a total of 42 members, who meet several times a year to decide matters of importance to the lettermen. This yearis discussions were centered on types of sweaters to be worn by letter winners. The standard of the club is an eight-inch red C to be worn on a black sweater. The club has set stand- ards of white sweaters for North Iowa Confer- ence Champions in football and basketball. In the more individual sports of track and wrestling, white sweaters may be worn by district cham- pions, and second-place district winners provid- ed they place in the state meet. This year's State Wrestling Champions earned a total of five white sweaters. The club was petitioned by the cheerleaders to adopt a standard outfit for the schoolis cheer- leaders to be furnished by the school. The club selected white slipover sweaters and red skirts with a distinctive cheer letter, which is the standard eight-inch letter on a ten-inch mega- phone. The outfits were obtained and are to be used by all future cheerleaders. The C Club sponsored the very successful vic- tory dance after the Armistice Day game with Eagle Grove. The dance, held in the new gym, was one of the best attended of the year. This year it was decided by the athletic coun- cil, comprised of the superintendent, principal, coaches, and president of the C Club, to add the captains of the sports for the year to the council. This gives wider recognition to the club and opinions of the members in deciding the athletic policy of the school. This year Iohn Bancroft and jerry Rohrer represented football, Ray Cron- wall, basketball, Virgil Rink and Bob Egemo, wrestling, and Art Bohy, track. The C Club is well represented in all of the school activities outside of athletics. john Ban- croft is president of the student body with Rich- ard Sebert, vice-president, and john Rowen, sec- retary-treasurer. In the senior class, lettermen Art Bohy is president with Richard Evans, sec- retary-treasurer. The junior class has Dean Burt and Charles Birdsall as officers. The sophomores have Jesse Rodriquez and Roger Sumners. Rod- ney Larson, Paul Ramsay, and Bob Henry were in the one-act play. john Bancroft, jack Bird, and Bob Egemo are officers in the Science and Photography Club. The above should give you the idea that the lettermen are active supporters of all school activities. A member of the C Club must also uphold the standards of Clarion High School and of this club. 23

fl,0fLJ The Cowboys had a very successful season this year with a total of 7 wins and 2 losses. They were very fortunate to have the assistance of three returned veterans who played a major part in many of this seasonis winning games. They were Lynn Lunde, fullback, Pete Rodriquez, halfbaok, Bill Tucker, guard. Other outstanding players of the year were jerry Rohrer, who was chosen as one of the superior guards in the state, and Ray Cronwall, whose hard blockinfl and running proved of great assistance to the Clarion squad. A CLARION 47 - FOREST CITY 7 The Clarion squad opened the season with an easy victory over the Forest City eleven. After the first team had run up a comfortable lead in the early part of the game, Coach Grove used the remainder of the game to test the reserve strength of his second string. Forest Cityis lone touchdown came in the closing minutes of the game, but after this game hopes were high for a victorious season. CLARION 0 - HAINIPTON 20 Football gods frowned on Clarion as they lost their first conference game of the season to Hampton. Bad breaks consisting of two fumbles and a blocked punt proved the decisive factor as Hampton pulled to a 6 to 0 halftime lead. The second half was a see-saw battle but the power- ful Hampton squad proved too much for us. They won the conference championship at the end of the season. CLARION 6 - CLEAR LAKE 20 , Things looked even darker for the Clarion souad as they went down for the second defeat of the season to the Clear Lake Lions. The game was played fairly evenly the first two quarters as the score was 6 to 6 as the halftime gun went off. The second half proved disastrous to the squad as they were badly outplayed and out- scored. Our chances for Conference Champs were ruined by the loss of this game and the prospects for the future looked dark. CLARION 19 - HUMBOLDT 14 A revamped Clarion squad, hungry for vic- tory, got its revenge when it defeated the Hum- boldt Wildcats in a bitter battle. With Lunde switched to the fullback position the Cowboys became a new team. This game proved to be one of the most exciting of the season and a last- minute stand on the goal line proved to be too much- for the Wildcats as Clarion went on to its first conference victory. CLARION 14 - IOWA FALLS 0 Playing before a homecoming crowd, the Clarion squad pounded a smashing victory out of the Iowa Falls Cadets. The Iowa Falls squad put up a courageous battle the first half with neither team scoring, but the Clarion squad came through in the second half by smashing over two touchdowns that were the deciding factors of the game. CLARION 33 - WEBSTER CITY 7 For the first time in many years the Clarion team finally got its longed-for revenge over the powerful VVebster City Lynx. john Bancroft was our outstanding player for the night as he caught two Clarion passes-one resulting in a touchdown -and intercepted and blocked many Webster City passes. CLARION 45 - ALGONA 6 Before one of the largest crowds of the season the Clarion squad crushed the fighting Algona eleven in the fourth conference win of the sea- son. The game was marked with spectacular runs by Lunde and Cronwall. One of the out- standing plays of the night was Lunde's beauti- ful broken field run the entire length of the grid- iron on a return of an Algona punt. CLARION 66 - BELBIOND 0 In a game almost resembling a track meet, the Cowboys mauled the Belmond Broncos 66 to 0. The Cowboys were in the lead all the Way and in the second half the reserves piled up addi- tional touchdowns. Everyone realized at the end of this game that the Clarion team was one of the most powerful in northern Iowa. CLARION 53 - EAGLE GROVE 0 Clarion asserted its superiority over the Eagle Grove Eaglets when they crushed them 53 to 0 in the annual Armistice Day game. Due to the hot rivalry between the two teams, this victory was fully appreciated by the Clarion fans. This game will long be remembered by the seniors leading the squad, and will prove a goal for the younger members of the team coming up.
