THE “M” CLUB President.............................. Ervin Engel Vice-President Maurice Ellison Secretary-Treasurer William Beckenbauer Sponsors Prof. W. Emerson Recl(, Coach Karl Lawrence Having as its purpose the advancing of sports, the “M club has worked toward the fulfillment of this end. Only those who have earned their mono- gram are eligible for membership in this organization. The strenuous and unusual type of initiation is well known throughout Fremont, and helps bind the athletes together in a spirit of fellowship. The “M” club for the fourth year had charge of the election and corona- tion of the Queen of the Gridiron. This is one of the most popular events during the school year. Through sponsoring high school athletics by an invitation basketball tour- nament and a track meet, the “M” club has maintained its purpose of advanc- ing sports. Meetings were held bi-weekly in the History room. Initiations are held after every major sport in order to permit athletes to join the club soon after they have earned their letters. The final event of the year is the formal banquet given in the spring for active and alumni members of the group. This banquet is given for the pur- pose of kindling a closer feeling of good will between alumni and student members. THE WARRIOR Page (7

The record book shows that the Chiefs made 69 first downs to their opponents’ 67, collected a total of 1,524 yards as compared to their rivals’ 1,348 and scored 54 points to their foes’ 43. Despite the loss of six eligible lettermen, who failed to return because of changes to professional schools or lack of finances, and the loss of six veterans through graduation, twelve lettermen reported for practice the week before school. Besides these twelve men who formed a promising nucleus for the squad, ten experienced men and eight freshmen reported for practice. Midland appeared to have plenty of good backfield material, but was short on beef in the line. Because of this defect, the coach stressed what he called the N. R. A. (New Running Attack) in practices, and this was ex- pected to bring a “new deal” for Midland in grid encounters. Coach Lawrence was assisted by Lauren Biffar who donned his tutorial trousers and industriously corrected the weak points in the Warrior line play. ’ £ • 68
