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 . . . Cheers . . hoarse throats - p ' t peeve of Mr. Moll . . Gleaming, Twirling batons . . Concerts in the gym ■ . I ' e.sidenl Meyer ' s installation . . Phys Ed classes . . 4 suddenly frigid Reformation Sunday, with shivering crowds and a stirring sermon . . Open House, icith us veterans watching the service from Sieker ' s windows .

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 ' . . . Coach Olson has a right to feel confident with men like Luneberg, Collins, Hillmann, Gricsel, Tegtmaier, Mahl, Yensco. and Martin Lueeke returning for duty on this year ' s team . . . men with a good rec- ord, and a love for anything competi- tive and athletic . . . . . .

Bill Diehl our lighting engineer, and Phil Kraft, stage manager, long hours of stage preparation, costume-fitting and part-studying was put in by hoth tins committee and participating performers, Prof. Luecke di- recting at rehearsals . . . Then the choir . . . timing . . . and a weekend of well-attended pre- sentations ... A spring play? — no match for a Greater Concordia Fund . . . ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE . . .
