They composed some new cheers that proved to he extremely satisfactory. Our cheerleaders this year have been exceptionally inspiring. They seemed to be able, through their enthusiasm, to instill into the student body as a whole a genuine school spirit. They were untiring in their efforts to do their share for our Alma Mater. Nearly every Friday before a game, rallies were held in the auditorium where yells were introduced and practiced, and school songs were sung.

Football Lettermen RICHARD BECK-Dick was probably the smallest tackle in the school's history, but he proved to be a very efficient defensive player and was a constant threat to the opponents' defense. DICK BRITT- Little Dick was the small man of the team with the large spirit. He was placed on the second team of the Northern Ohio League. The team elected him next year's captain. DICK EICHLER- Ike had the honor of being placed on the second team of the N. O. L. and proved to be one of the most outstanding lines- men. We will long remember his uncanny ability of snagging passes. JIM FENDRICK---jim, a Navy veteran, was the mastermind of the works. His tackling in the secondary saved many touchdowns. He also had a good passing arm and could toss them long and far. HERB HELFRICH- Hap, playing his first full year following an ankle injury, proved himself to be a tough tackle. His great defense in the Norwalk game was a highlight of the season. DON HESKETT-- Pearly, another Navy vet, proved to be one of our most aggressive guards. Many a boy who played opposite him will re- member his vicious blocking. LYNN HESKETT-Lynn was chosen on the N. O. L. first team and proved to be an outstanding end. His lengthy arms saved many a way- ward pass for Galion. CLAIR HOFMEISTER, Mgr.-Clair proved to the coach he was an efficient and dependable manager by taking charge of the little de- tails which are essential in satisfying the players. DICK MARSHALL-As understudy at fullback, Dick was used mainly on defense in backing up the line. He will still be with us next year. JOE MCMANES-Although hampered by a knee injury at the beginning of the season, joe had that spirit which makes a team and showed it to everyone the latter part of the season. He was elected honorary captain of the year. RONALD NIYERS- Ronnie was the fastest man on the team, but was stopped in mid-year with a broken collar bone. His weight and speed will be something to watch for in future years. DALE POVENMIRE-Dale was one of the best tacklers on the team and always a constant threat. Big things are expected of him next year, especially in backing up the line. BOB PRICE-Bob started the season at end and then was switched to halfback because of his speed and passing ability. He will still be carrying the mail for Galion next year. HAROLD RAMSEY- Chunk', was one of our most consistent ground gainers and gave the added power needed on defense. He kicked G. H. S. out of many serious predicaments and will still be with us next year. MAURICE RITER- Big Maurief' a returned veteran, was the largest man on the squad. He did most of the place-kicking for Galion. Remember his vicious tackling in the Bucyrus game? DON ROGERS-Don's first year as a regular proved he greatly enjoyed the game, and showed he had plenty of drive. We will long remember his brilliant runs in the Norwalk game. CLYDE SMITH- Smitty played quarterback and halfback, mainly being used on defense. Clyde's team spirit helped out in many a situation. LEO TUSCAN-Leo, being a starter last year, again held down his berth. He played his greatest game against Crestline and being a junior will still be around next season. JIM VENTRONE-As the season progressed, BibsH also became more steady. We will long remember his bone crushing tackles from the line backer position. This showed he has what it takes.
