1EII'l IEIEIR ILIEMDIEIRS I Yeah Team! Yeah Team! Fight! Fight! Fight! When the football season opened this year Monroe High School was found with Leo Bauer as the only cheer leader, owing to the graduation of Bob Sawyer, the only other experienced hand. There was but one thing to do and Coach Frank Willis did it. A call was sent out for cheer leaders and it was answered by about fifteen live-wire students. Try-outs were held in the auditorium and from this number three were selected, Leo Bauer, James Winkworth and Mac Keeney. The boys received their training from Leo, who has had two years of experience. They were on the job at all of the home football and basketball games and as many games away from home as they could get transportation to. Let's help them out more next year! Several Pep Meetings were held and everyone joined in by lending his voice to the team before it marched out onto the Held of battle to meet the enemy. Previously the Cheer Leaders received a small M but this year they were awarded a large Varsity with a small white megaphone on it. 85

l ' A ' 7 TIENNIIS I In the Spring of 1929 Monroe High made its debut into the field of tennis, a half a dozen would-be players responding to the call. Without courts of its own to practice on, the team was compelled to confine its work-outs largely to practicing strokes against a brick wall. This type of practice was supplemented by work-outs on the Country Club and the Detroit Beach courts at such times as permission could be secured to use these two courts. Five matches were played during the season, all of them on the courts of rival teams. Four of these teams: namely, Ferndale, Wyandotte, Adrian and Tecumseh, had been in tennis competition for a number of years and all proved too experienced for Monroe's budding players, but Grosse Pointe, a team which was also entering its first year of competition, succumbed to the determined onslaught of Sawyer, Mclntyre, Mitchell and Renner. Although the season could not be considered a triumph from the stand- point of matches won, it produced the desired results and the beginning of the 1930 season finds 34 candidates out pounding the brick walls of the gym. Two school courts are being prepared for this year's team and should be ready for use before the season is far advanced, although it is now apparent that these cannot be completed in time for the first few matches. A stiff schedule has been prepared and Monroe High has entered officially into Southeastern League competition. The following teams will be played during the 1930 season: April 30-Adrian Cherel May 9-Grosse Pointe Ctherej May 2-Wyandotte Ctherel May 16-Fordson fherel May 7-Birmingham Qherej May 19-River Rouge fherej 84

VAIRSIITNY CEILIU IB I The Varsity Club has had a very active and busy year. It started out this year by electing Fred Schatte as President, George Imo as Vice-President, and Jacob Gutterman as Secretary-Treasurer. One of the major purposes of the club is to keep the graduating members of the school as interested in athletics as is possible. The Club has had apples on sale in the cafeteria, which is quite in keeping with its purpose as everyone who eats an apple a day, keeps the doctor away, according to their slogan. In addition, they have sponsored dances in the gym after the basketball games for the students and teachers. Later the members sold tickets for the Music Festival. With the money they have earned the club bought hoods for the foot- ball team and are planning on buying the basketball team new suits next year. The membership of the Varsity Club has again grown in size, having this year the following members: - Fred Schatte, Bernard Roberts, John Luft, James Godfroy, Gilbert Stoner, Michael Poli- mac, Henry Kuzewski, Dale Traver, Raymond Stein, Walter Neidermeier, Richard Robinson. John Benedict, Darrel Lindner, Victor Durrell, Charles LeFevre, Gordon Stadler, Charles Marx, Alvin Kohler, Leo Bauer, Walter Vandergrift, Earl Nadeau, Glenn Rauch, George Zimmerman, Clayton Ainslie. Jacob Gutterman, Clayton Liedel, Frank Buntz, Mac Keeney, Lester Clark, Harold Lanphere, Donald Blankertz, William Stoner, Ruben Lockwood, Roy Brodie, Elmer Frank, George Rcnner, James Ready, Nathan Reaume, Charles Diekman. Al Diehl. Loyol Heck. Rudolph Meyer, Albert Complo, Earl Basheau, James Winkworth, George Ixno, Bruce Teal and Edward Deinzer. 86
