EQUIPMENT MANAGERS These six boys deserve the praise of the whole school. Headed by Gus Rump, the cage monkeys get the equipment ready for the various teams before practice each night and are at the games hours ahead of time to assist the coaches in any way possible. Cap- tain Albert McGill usually accompanies the teams at out-of-town games. The boys, in this way, earn their own letter and they really work hard for it. Five of them will be back next year. Phipps, a letterman, will graduate. McGill also has lettered. WRESTLING With eight returning lettermen, the Scarlet grapplers under Coach Charles Gregory are expected to have quite a successful season. Most of their '48 season was against oppo- nents in Des Moines while the '49 season will be conducted largely against Big Six oppo- nents. Wrestling takes a lot of drive and interest cn the part ot the athlete because he must work out for about three hours every night after school in a hot, musty room. However, the fellows' labors are more than repaid on road trips and in experience with the team.

GIRLS' GOLF Girls' golf, in just its third year at East High, has proven itself to be quite popular around these portals. Few girls are out for this sport at this time, but a ,larger number is expected to turn out when spring comes around. Under the excellent coaching of Gus Rump, they are expected to make a fine showing, as they have before. In the fall tournament the girls placed third in competition among the other city schools. Bonnie Roderick was first among East High girls with a score of 58. June Gander's 64 was second. Ro, J0Qr7 1' M - C Ofc . Benneffiifsyl lsgmlfviefing frgrniq Eiigoj-1g,,iCiQrge,,en H ' I-U79 C Ow 2.

Norma Knud- sen and Marcia Wieting were elim- inated in the second round. In the doubles competition June Gander and Nancy Sisam advanced to the semi- finals, but Carolyn Burdock and Janet Spitler were defeated in the first round of play.

CRCDSS CGUNTRY East High's cross country squad, through the means of hard work, came through the '48 season with flying colors. Winning three meets and placing second in the state meets, the harriers paced by George Rabbit Sullivan, individual second place winner in both state meets, worked un- der the direction of Coach Augustine who was welcomed back to the squad after several sea- sons' absence. While the cross country men receive little recognition for their labors, they feel their efforts will be repaid in the experience gained toward the spring track season. -s. SWIMMING Here are some boys who work under quite a handicap. East High's swimming team has always made a good showing in spite of the present conditions--that of poor swimming facilities. Each night after school the boys work out under their capable instructor, Mr. A. Y. Scotty Russell. During the year the boys meet teams from other schools in and out of the city. Some of the different positions on the team that a prospect may try out for are those of divers, free stylers, breast strokers, and back strokers, V se..
