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.

DRESS PARADE PRS S — SNS “i Football THE SEASON AT A GLANCE When the call for football candidates was sounded, about sixty men reported to Coaches Weaver, Caldwell and Shuford. Several men from last season were back and the coaches immediately began to build a powerful team around this nucleus. The squad made rapid progress and merged into a husky, fighting eleven by the opening game. In the first exhibition a well oiled, smooth-working machine was put upon the gridiron. : The “Flying Cadets” started off at a sprint and as the season wore on the organization gained momentum. The opposing forces were of no mean ability, but under the splendid influence of Coach Weaver and his assistants the team gained recognition everywhere. Toward mid-season the “Flying Cadets” were basking peacefully in the limelight and were recognized as one of the greatest prep. school elevens ever to don the moleskins. As the scores will indicate, the offensive and defensive powers were unsurpassed by any school of our class in the southern United States. Colleges, college and university freshmen, as well as other institutions of higher learning, were humbled by the powerful onslaughts of the Red and Blue warriors.
