When the varsity machine faltered, it was Coach Peterson and his Settlers that provided the thrills for Pioneer rooters. The younger Pioneers went through the season undefeated, notching wins over Hammond Tech, Thornton Fractional, Mor- ton and Whiting. Bonds, Oaks and Wilson ran the defensive opponents wild and proved to all Clark fans and coaches alike, that the Pioneer camp wouldn ' t be so dark in 1952. 20
