For the Sake of Spirit THE CHEERLEADERS Who cheered Team ' s Ho: when it was the truth and when it was only a wish . . . ' With Co-captains Kempf and Garttner . . . Plenty of bruises . . . Plenty of noise . . . Plenty of praise . . . And wide eyes on the bench . . . Which were not so wide but just as admir- ing for the four High School boys who yelled as well . . . Sometimes good, sometimes bad . . . We loved em all. JL he basketball pep rally in the gym ... A near riot . . And loads of fun . . . Complete with Ish Gezinte and the of- ficial band . . . Posters, bal- loons . . . Loud colors and louder noise. THE TWIRLERS Rainbow-hued arms of black, blue, and green hidden undei what the gals described as out- grown uniforms with choking collars . . . But they brighten- ed up a few games . . . And, I suspect, had fun in the process . . . With Captain Eleanor Wendte.

I-} yWof .- THE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM Who came up with a half and half proposition at the end of the season . . . Having won seven and lost as many .... So no one was too unhappy . . . And Bohuny, star pitcher, was beaming . . . He wound up with six wins and three losses . . . Not bad. Blood. Sweat- and Queers THE H IGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM Composed of forty green prep underclassmen . . And one man with varsity experi- ence . . . All of whom did pretty well — for tenderfeet — in scrimmages with Eastchester and Children ' s Village . . . Won one game . . . Riverdale, six to nothing . . . Sported a broken ankle and a fractured collarbone . . . Rough.

. THE CONCORDIA CHORUS Who had quite a reputation to live up to . . . And after much rehearsal made a fairly good job of doing so . . . Ap- pearing first in the Annual Fall Concert . . . Then provid- ing incidental music to the Christmas play, Send Out Thy Light . . . The touring section . . . Who had to work extra hard . . . Sang concerts of re- ligious music here in the East . . . Some of our best public relations workers . . . Others took time out to form the nu- cleus of a choir to sing in the newly constructed church across the street . . . And some went out on their own and formed a mixed octette . . . Under the inspiration, if not always the direction, of Eugene Mott, who moulded their voices into one . . . Successfully. SIC THE ORCHESTRA Who that year reorganized and surprised . . . Somehow manag- ing to play quite well at their first appearance in the Fall Concert . . . Although those rehearsals in the Sieker Hall basement did increase the sale of asperin . . . But by hook or by crook Director Mott somehow cajoled at least half of their number into coming to those bottom floor rehear- sals regularly . . . Then pro- ceeded to produce music with a conglomeration of assorted instruments to which only we could fall heir . . . But the re- sults are what count . . . And no one could complain.
