DORIS JEAN REICHEHT This being her first year of cheerleading, she proved very capable. Her good nature and ability to keep yel- ling in spite of the score of the game and in spite of me opposing cheering section made for her many friends. T00 mad that graduation will also claim her. The cheerleaders, dressed in their white satin dresses, added a lot to the games this year and were certainly a credit to the team and to the entire student body. BETTY DAAB This was Betty's second year as cheerleader and again she was a mighty good one. Her depend- ability and concern over the game were things noticed and acclaimed by the entire school. Betty will be back again neat year to help cheer the boys on to a victori- ous year.

A. has been indeed an active organization. We started the year by the initiation of new members which was quite spectacular! Then, too, there was Wsweets night' of which the profit was used to buy the athletic club some extra backboards. we did have some difficulty in establishing a meeting night, but when we do meet we have loads of fun. At present every member is busy earning points to get a nletter.' Plans are now being made for a party which we hope will be a great success.

The Home Economics Club, although it doesn't look busy, has succeeded in several projects. we conducted a nursery on P. T. A. nights, for children whose parents attend P. T. A. One issue of the 'Columbian Review' was issued by us in December. Two dele- gates were sent to the district meeting at St. Louis. In January we gave a Chile Supper which was well attended. with this money we are adding some furnishings in the Home Economics Room. This April we are attending the sectional meeting at O'Fallon. A short skit will be given by us.

B A S K E T B A L L As coach for the second year for C. H. S., Coach Rosen, and his Eagles, can look back on a successful season of basketball. The amount of victories was not as great as last year's but the season, as a whole, was a good one. Coach Rosan and the Blue and White Eagles know, with a great deal of satisfaction, that they played good basketball this year and regardless of scores were always fighting until the last whistle. With the coming of graduation, the varsity team will be severely crippled but we, the seniors, know the new Eagles will fight just as hard next year and in all the years to come. The 1944-45 basketball schedule follows: TEAM DATE THEY TEAM DATE WE THEY Freeburg 111 3144 52 Valmeyer 1112145 46 20 Mascoutah 111 7144 51 Dupo 1116145 26 55 B61l6Vlll6 llfllf44 54 Red Bud 1f19f45 42 25 Waterloo 11114144 50 New Athens 1125145 26 27 Dupo llf28f44 22 B6ll6Vill6 1f27f45 55 44 Red Bud 121 8144 22 Waterloo 1150145 50 52 Mascoutah 12112144 54 Bust .Louis 21 5145 25 25 Coulter-v1116 12115144 44 F1-eeburg 21 6145 56 65 New Athens 12fl9f44 52 V6n1C9 2115145 58 34 Coulter-v111e 11 5145 55 Valmeyer 2116145 40 55 T0ul'namento 0 o 0 e 0 e o o QNSW Athens WATERLOO--Kenny Jahr broke into the lineup for the first time this year. This was one game Columbia counted on winning but the odds seemed to be against us. RED BUD--The Eagles came- through with their first confer- ence victory. Hacker and Wlthum collaborated to sink 55 CHacker 17 and Withum 162 of Columbia's points. NEW ATHENS--Nell Woodward of New Athens accounted for 20 points and also accounted for the fact that New Athens led the conference. Columbia managed to divide its scoring fairly even- ly as each Eagle was able to score. VALMEYER--Kenny Harres led the Eagles to an easy victory over the Valmeyer Pirates to raise our conference standing another notch. RED BUD--Erve Withum and Bill Lewis paced the Colu bia cagers to a 42-25 victory over Red Bud. NEW ATHENS--COLUMBIA LOSES THIRD CONFERENCE GAME!!! Neil Woodward's 18 points, including an opportune free throw in an overtime period, caused the Blue and White to lose sight of the Kaskaskia conference trophy. WATERLOO--There went the trophy!!! It was a hard task to take another defeat from Waterloo but this game was an entirely different one from the previous one this season. game and a victory over the the Eagles to break even on VALMEYER--The last conference Valmeyer Pirates. This did enable their conference games for the year with a record of .500,
