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

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
