Cheerleaders O that Central may display better sportsmanship and that the players of football and basketball teams may be encouraged, the students of this school elect eight cheerleaders, four girls and four boys, to represent them for the year. At the first football game all who wish to become cheerleaders try out and are later voted upon by the activity-ticket holders. Because the audience will not always cooperate and because they must be out in all kinds of weather, these cheerleaders go through a great deal of hard- ship. At the last Thanksgiving football game our yell squad displayed nifty new red and green uniforms and also led some new cheers. Often they go with the band to out-of-town games to inspire our players. With Edna Dotson and Junior Stimmel as our head cheerleaders this year, the squad was composed of Charles Bayles, Virginia Byrd, Rosemary Hardy, Carolyn Levy, Milfred Roush, and Gene Snyder. 4 be In assembly Edna Dotson and Junior Stimmel, who already had their letters, were presented with certificates of award, and Carolyn Levy was awarded a letter. . Since Charles Bayles, Rosemary Hardy, Milfred Roush, Gene Snyder, and Junior Stimmel have showed such splendid work and since they have more school ahead of them, we hope to see them again next year. -BETTY SNYDER sixty-eight

Basketball Lettermen ARREN WIDNER, a veteran guard, and DARRELL O'CONNELL, a vet- eran forward, both seniors, were co-captains of the 1938 basketball team. Warren was a very accurate shot from the field and because of his height could take the ball off the bankboard very easily. Darrell, or Mose as he is called, was among the high scorers of the city. .He broke very fast and shot extremely accurately. JAMES DAWE, a senior guard, sank many shots from the center of the floor and excelled in taking the balls off the bankboard. This was Jim's first year out for basketball. DONALD DAVID, a veteran forward who will return again next year, was one of the team's sparkplugs. TOM CAVANAUGI-I, a senior, was ably assisted at the center position by brother BILL, a junior, and senior veteran CARROLL LEWIS, both lettermen. ENN1s WALKER, junior, and CLINTON ALGUIRE, sophomore, forward and guard respectively, were the outstanding subs. You'll hear a lot more of them next year. BOB GRAHAM and FRED HOWARD, junior and senior respectively, also did their share in helping Central win games. Fred graduated in June while Bob will return next year. 1 Swimming Lettermen DON COOLAI-IAN was by all means the outstanding swimmer. He swam in the 40, 100, and 220 free styles, and was on the relay team. DAVE KELKER was the breast stroke swimmer of Central's team and was also on the relay team. BOB HARROD was the third member of the relay team. He also swam in the 40 and 100 yard free styles. BOB STUBER, a veteran from last year, was the fourth and last member of the relay team.
