Claeer Leeeelem' In the past years, Millcreek High School has selected different students to lead sport fans in the cheering at football and basketball games. From past years We remember Phyllis Anthony '39, Jim Kline '3 9, Dickjohnson '39- '4o, and Don Bartlet '4O. This year, under the direction of Mrs. Weislogel, our experienced and efficient cheer leaders, Betty Roesch, Laurine Engel, and Jack Cronin, were very successful in gaining the support of both student and adult spectators. Millcreek's cheerleading organization has added much to the spirit and interest in its school sports. Debate Club With Lettermen Robert Wells, Donald Hirsch, and Frank Carter returning, Mill- creek had the nucleus needed to form another fine debating team. Again this year, our team debated in the Lake Erie Debating League. Among the schools included in this league are: Strong Vincent, Erie East, Academy, North East, Girard, Harbor- creek, Albion, Wesleyville, Lawrence Park, and Millcreek.
