Z Nar Nj a NS eal Cheer Leaders “Nub,” “Beef,” and “Nurk” had more to do with the instill- ing of the “never say die” spirit into the various teams repre- senting Oak Ridge than any other trio in school. When the team was on the field, these three pep dispensers were always on hand to give the wearers of the red and blue that extra bit of energy which is so necessary to a winning team. When spirits seemed to lag, a rousing cheer was always ready. The students and followers of the cadets cannot express their appreciation for the splendid efforts of these three cheer leaders who were the sparks for the fuel called school spirit. T. M.
