COACHES NEVER LOSE (II) But more importantly it’s to tearh them to live up to their potential no matter what this potential is. It’s to teach them to do their best and never be satisfied with what they are but to strive to be as good as they can be if they tried harder. A coach can never make a great player out of a boy who isn’t potentially great. But he can make a great competitor out of any child. And miraculously he can make a man out of a bov. For a coach the final scftre i’t read so many points for my team, so many points for theirs. Instead it reads: many boys. And this is a score that isnever published.

For the job of a coac! is over and finished once thestartir blows. He knows he's won or lost before play starts. For a coach has two tasks, The minor one is to teach skills: to teach a hoy how to run faster hit harder block better kick farther Attention Students: The State Cross Country Meet will be held this Saturday, Oct. 27th, at Milwaukee. Do You realize that this is the first time Monroe has ever sent a Cross Country team to a state meet? Do you realize that we are rated at the top in our division? Do you realize that when we win, we will have obtained TWO State Championships in the last few months? Do you want to be there to see it happen? Sign up for the bus to the meet before or after school this week, starting today. And now for a brief word of thanks: to Mr. Tom Mitchell of the MONROE EVENING T1MKS for excellent pictures and a professional helping hand. The second task the major task is to make men out of boys. It’s to teach an attitude Of mind. It's to implant character and not simply to impart Skills. It’s to teach boys to play fair. This goes without saving. It's to teach them to be humble in victory and proud in defeat. This goes without saying. Attention coaches of all sports, your help and perseverance have made this section possible. Thank you very much. And so to the right is our special tribute.

LEFT: BEGINNING AT THE FAR LEFT IS: Laurie Ganshert, Julie Kundert, Bonnie Gyure, Jan Springer, Cyndi Cherrey, and Charlotte Blum. They were the energetic highly spirited and never give up group called Varsity Football Cheerleaders. They came up with many decent skits over the football season. But it took two tries to get a picture of them. RIGHT: Almost the same order, but let’s explain this portrait. Laurie starts, “Hey! This is a great place for a picture retake in the middle of winter.” Julie, Laurie, would you please move your arm. Bonnie. “1 like this cement, it’s a nice place to do cheers.” Cyndi, “Yes, sir, right here in front of MHS, under the world-famous Arch.” Jan, “I’ll have nothing to do with this.” And Chuck says, “Hey!? Did you know he just snapped a picture?” They Yelled, Screamed, Stomped Clapped As last year, the cheerleader advisor was Mrs. Mag-lio, who is not pictured due to fear of cameras? However, just because one does not have the desire to be photographed, does not mean that one did not supply the leadership necessary. A curious thought for all you hard-thinking thinkers: Why are the same cheerleaders found in the various photographs over and over again? I think that means that they were the cheerleaders. One more strange line before I attempt to get serious or whatever (mostly whatever I’m sure): For those of you football fans that comprehend we have a thought: CHEERLEADER HERE! In real life being a cheerleader requires a lot of skill, twice as much endurance, being proud of the team you are cheering for and the people you are cheering with, and of course we must not forget the obvious reasons either. Just in case somebody decides to read this we’ll add an eye catcher here at the bottom of our page: 22 ABOVE: The J.V. Basketball Cheerleaders Are As Follows: TOP: Mary Kay Klarer. MIDDLE: Peggy Usher, Anna Albertson. FRONT: Louise Viney, Lisa Eberle, and Christy Donny. A well representing group for our J.V. Basketball players. They also managed to help make our pep rallies a little more life-like etc. or something. BELOW: The J.V. Football Cheerleaders have one advantage over all the other cheerleader groups: both of their first-time photos turned out well, therefore the JV’s in a tree: STANDING: Anna Albertson, Connie Daley, Kathy Schuepp. OUT IN FRONT: Mary Kay Klarer, Christy Donny, and AT THE RIGHT. Louise Viney.
