' Brainiest Brawn ' Gridders ' Good Grades Earn Scholarship Trophy The old adage about an athlete ' s being all brawn and no brains was disproved by 22 Redskin foot- ball players and the Downtown Kiwanis Club. For the first time this year Kiwanians offered a Football Scholarship Trophy, plus individual citations, to the school whose 22 varsity gridders ended the season with the highest grade average. Each city high school named 22 regulars and compiled their grade averages at the end of the second marking period. Manual ' s 5.05 led all the others and brought the school its third Ki- wanis trophy in one year. Thus, the football team wrote its part of the year ' s story. Besides leading the city in scholarship and finishing with a com- mendable 4-3-2 record, Manual athletes dis- played evidence of a belief that it ' s the how you play that counts. Football players won shiny belt buckles for themselves and a handsome addition to the trophy case by ending their season with a 5.05 grade average.

' School Spirit ' Wins Second Year Pep Club Adds Color with Flag Drill Though school spirit is sort of a how topic that rarely gets a headline, one of the Booster ' s top stories last Fall told of the second consecutive Kiwanis award given to Manual ' s grid season cheerleaders and Pep Club. To win the trophy cheerleaders taught new yells and routines to Pep Clubbers, who were faithful fans in white shirts and red ties. Some girls wore shorts, even at the coldest games, to march with the Band in a colorful flag drill. Football weather can be mighty cold; but Manual ' s Pep Club, no coats over their white sweatshirts, kept things hot with a rhythmic stamping of feet, frequent clapping of hands, periodic jumping from seats, and almost constant exercise of lungs and vocal cords. r S M Ai£
