wr s ,Z Q 0 FA e J i e OON and WHITE 5 QD111' hem' llieaherz HO WON the war, is a question that is still irritating the sensitive nationals and provoking much vehemence in speech from those who fought and those who didn't. The boys in uniform indignantly protest that they won the warg the others on the side lines maintain that unless they provided the resources for war the army would be useless. Both areiright, and we will let it rest at that. However, the latter class of the Who won its may claim our hard-working and inimitable quartet of cheer leaders. In the face of the strong- est opposition and against the loud and heated protests of others they still maintain that they were the important cog in the wheel of success. With their much-abused megaphones, their lusty shouts, their incessant appeal for life, pep and zest in the cheers, they sent the team off with a start that undoubtedly did prove a big factor in the season's success. When things looked threatening, these were the boys that sent the heartening cheers echoing down the lielcl, reviving among our squads that old fighting spirit, that often staved off defeat or brought us victory. During the bright spots of the game, when a con- spicuous effort of some individual member of the team warranted special commendation, it was this same quartet that coaxed from the stands a cheer to let that man know that we were right there in back of him, watching him and commending him for his efforts Encouragement is the source of success. It is the spice that whets the appetite and makes us look for more. This quartet of cheer leaders did all this. They were, indeed, a faithful crew. Time, weather or other adverse conditions left them undaunted. They did their work creditably. The same quartet will be the directors of the cheering section next year. Watch them! 76

Only the most experienced and the best of our performers will be pitted against the power- ful array of prep schools generally entered in this meet.
