About the middle of October, did you notice six students limping, groan- ing, and moaning around the campus? They weren ' t new members on the football team, although at times they acted as if they had been practicing with the grid squad: they were just our newly elected cheerleaders: Kay Cervone, Nathalie Neverla, Pete Kupsek, Belle Piper, and Dorothy Hillgartner. The first few practices found them stiff and unaccustomed to the type of muscular activity necessary for cheer leaders, but this minor difficulty soon was eliminated. After much jiractice they made their debut in chapel one morning, leading several cheers, and teaching the student body a new rally cry. The response was gratifying. On the night before the Edinboro game these cheer- jerkers conducted a pep meeting in the chapel. After Mr. Tippin and several members of the team had delivered short speeches. Eddie Edinboro was cut down from the gallows (ceiling to you ) and carried to the big bonfire on the football field for cremating. On through the season — rain, snow, or sunshine- out for each game, cheering our team on to victory. the cheerleaders were Lcfi lo lii ht — Hillgartnor, Ncvcrh, Kupsek, Wilson. Ccrvonc.

1 1 TIk ' goldL ' n nutumn dnys turned the minds of the students nlmost immedi- .ilely from freslimnn initiation to our footb.ill team. During the season, Clarion State Teachers College ' s Golden Eagles turned in a record of three wins, two losses, and one tie for the 1941 football season. I he three victories added to the ones registered in the four previous seasons ran the Tippinmen ' s record to twenty triumphs in five campaigns. The first scheduled game with Grove City college was cancelled due to the polio epidemic that postponed the openings of all state teachers colleges. On October 4 the Blue and Gold opened with Alliance College after but twelve pre-season practice sessions and defeated the up-staters handily by a score of 5-0 at Clarion with five players chalking up touchdowns. The second game was with strong Thiel college in Greenville. The Teach- ers fell by a 26-0 score before the Jack Stoeber coached team that was undefeated in seven games. Clarion ' s line led by the brilliant Irwin Fall at left end out- played the Thiel forward wall but the Golden Eagle backs were no match for the hard running Thiel backs. iack Row — Mr. Tippin.
