Zmck 59 Concordia ' s track season turned out to be relatively successful, as the prepmen won 2 out of 3 dual meets in the second year of C C I ' s current track history. Undismayed by a 55-22 defeat at the hands of Hackley, we eared our legs and lungs for the re- maining contests with McBurney and Sacred Heart, and at those meets as- serted ourselves with scores of 49-28 and 61-16, consecutively. Captain Hubie Keuler broke tapes in the 440 and 880 yard races while Dick Duerr starred in the shot-put and broad- jump events ' . . .

58 (I- ci5enali fa ' -? ' ■8V » ' . Last season in l)ascball - character- ized by tough breaks, but balanced off by some smart pitching and home- run hitting . . . but not enough . . . ith close but losing games against neighboring teams, pitcher Bruce Bo- huny allowed only a few hits, chalked up 41 strike-outs. Later in the season he had boosted his record to 125 strike-outs, allowing only 29 hits in 61 innings. Home-runs were by Duerr and Prais, with other pitching victor- ies by Matty Theiss - freshman. An industrious, though sometimes frus- trating season, and a tally of 5 wins, 8 losses . . . prospects for this year look slim, with only 4 veterans re- turning, but dependable Dobby has been known to be quite the magician at times. . . . After the football rally, complete with roaring fire and spirited cheers, our confident, but green, prepsters, under the coaching of Vince Olson and line-coach Fahrenkrug, began a schedule of tough and strength-tax- ing games. Captain Dick Tegtmaier started this year ' s scoring with a safe- ty in the first quarter against Child- rens ' Village, but as the year wore on, with Liebe and Zadeik sitting out games in the infirmary, scores and scoring by Concordia ' s eleven were few and far between . . . The Home- Coming Day game, never-to-be-for- gotten for its mud, rain, and slip- periness, was just about the toughest game, and the toughest score to take . . . Hackley 40, Concordia . . .

60 TWIRLERS . . . Who after weeks of aching hacks, hruised elbows and disap- pointing attempts, emerged with enough broken overhead lights to their credit to merit a place in the gymnasium ' s spotlights . . . who added color and curves to half-times at basketball games, sparkle and spirit at football half- times. Tutored and led by Connie Diehl, these girls did much to liven the spirit and atmosphere of our athletic events, and twirled (heir way this year from a new re-organized beginning to a hap- py, though black-and-blue-end. CHEERLEADERS . . .Who at the beginning had as their only fears the inevitable banged knees and em- barrassing falls ... or losing a shoe while performing ... A synchronized combination of stimulating cheering-voices led by Helen Roscher and Joan Clausen, these guys and gals battled and yelled their way through a rainy, muddy Home-Coming Day football game, and later in the year, in de-pleated skirts and crowded cars covered the away basketball games . . . Cheers for the glory of C. C. I. - with laryngitis, sweaters, socks and saddle shoes . . . dreams about a cart- wheel . . . and little Jimmy, whose 2 cents and falling pants added so much to an al- ready successful year . . .
