The Rah Rah element at Montclair had a change of voice this past year. The addition of Ernie Beier and Werner Schanzenbach were wel- come assets to our cheering sguad. The first Co- Ed cheering season was a spirited one. Ruth Fitz- Maurice and Margy McHugh co-captained this past sports season. With new cheers and new uniforms the squad did well in rahing Mont- clair through victories and losses. Vocal chords permitting, the pep rallies were successful and appreciated. The Red and White inspirations are a memorable part of MSTC ' s sports activities. Red and White, Fight, Fight! Red and White, Fight, Fight! Who fight? You fight! Fight! Team! Fight!

FDDTBALL With an inspiring coach and a fighting heart, the Montalair Indians ended an impressive season that held MSTC rooters spellbound through eight gridiron engagements. The Indians finished the campaign with a record of four victories, one loss, and three tie encounters. As we look back on the 1948 season, several aspects of football at Montclair are outstanding. First and foremost, of course, are the players themselves. To them we owe a hearty expression of appreciation for a job extremely well done. Hard work and pu-lenty of long hours at practice produced a fighting bunch of Indians who war- whooped their way through a worthy season. Fifteen performers from this year ' s squad are expected to form the nucleus of the 1949 team, for Armistice Day, 1948 and the victory over Trenton State Teacher ' s College, marked the last performance for many outstanding gradu- ating warriors. Co-captains Don Fusco and Ted Bland have bid farewell to MSTC fighting grounds, as well as Les Agnello, Mike Bury, George Cuz- zolino, John Duane, Ernie Gebler, Moe McGee, John Schmuck, Howie Skarbnik, Len Sobo, Gene Stempler, Bill Todt, Lee Walsky, and Marty Zwill- man. Montclair proudly boasts this year, however, of a new distinction, for the gridiron pride, Gene Stempler, leaves MTSC for bigger hunting grounds. Gene recently took another step for- ward when he signed a contract with the New York Giants of the National Professional Football league. With him on his march to pigskin promin- ence the pro way, Gene The Bear Stempler has the wishes of all Montclair for a successful future and a terrific career ahead. Next, honors and thanks go to the team coaches. The team could not have done it with- out the capable guidance and skillful training of Coach Alden Coder and his assistant Bill Dioguardi. These two men devoted time, ability, and a lot of hard work to the team, and the success of their efforts can be measured best by the scoreboard results. The unsung heroes of the gridiron are the managers. These fellows, under the leadership of senior manager, Floyd Robinson, did a great job. Floyd was assisted by his five able man- agers, John Bell, Joe Embry, Will Eaves, George Nichols, and Bill Robbins. To these faithful grid- iron backers go a great big round of applause and a medal for merits, beyond the line of duty. The traditional football spirit was kept alive and burning by a peppy bunch of cheerleaders who have developed into a worthy tribal council of pep and steam. The band is also to be com-
