□ L) B T n THE CHEERLEADERS It takes more than talented players to have a winning school team. When the school spirit is high, the team’s spirit also is bolstered. That is why the school takes this opportunity to thank her peppy and confi- dent cheerleaders, Harold Cornelison and Dorothy Stine. On gala occasions they were assisted by Phyllis Stevens and Walter Amerman. This combination never failed to rouse the school body to a high pitch, and they should have a shai e in the honor of this season’s athletic successes.

Fool lm 11 September rolled around this year with several lettei’men and a good crop of prospective undergrads. By the end of the season, Coach Hanken- son and his proteges chalked up four victories, two ties, and three defeats. The season, although far from ideal, was considered successful be- cause it is the first time in several years that the win column has shown blue ink instead of red. It was evident that P. C. H. S. could have clinched the two tie games and possibly a few others had they grunted a little harder, so deep were they in opponents’ territory. During the first half of the season, the Wauseca trophy glittered in the eyes of the gridders. Tough opposition in demon form from Watseka dispelled all such dreams, however. Since four seniors will receive their paroles from the school board, there will be few seasoned linemen for next year. However, there remains an intact backfield ensemble. The captaincy was divided among the four seniors. The lettermen are: Flannigan, Henry, Healy, Stone, Hedrick, Lundy, Carlsten, Teesdale, Barr, Jones, Nuss, Van Antwerp, C. Cornelison. THE GAMES In the opening game of the year, with Gibson, Paxton scored twice in the first quarter and maintained the lead until the final gun. The recovery of a fumble on the eight yard line enabled Barr to plunge over in two plays. Later a short pass, Barr to Flannigan, ended the scoring. This game was a Wauseca League tilt. Paxton and Milford failed to score in the following game. The Milford eleven was heavy and imposing, but the greater part of the game was played deep in Milford territory. A penalty made a Paxton tally invalid. In the ensuing game with Farmer City, two fast and evenly matched teams again tied honors. Both teams were able to penetrate the opponents’ territory, however; and a Paxton drive to the Farmer City five-yard line was stopped by an intercepted lob pass. Bump Stone repeatedly place- kicked the opponents’ back into oblivion. Rantoul’s traditional prowess was broken in the next scrap. Revenge was sweet, and Paxton rolled up a score of 55-0. End runs and off-tackle smashes by Nuss and Barr did the trick. Bump (Manders) Stone com- pleted four successive tries-for-point. Everybody who made the trip played, and a good time was had by all. Paxton saw entirely too much of Vic Sampson in the game with Wat- seka. With a decided advantage in weight in Watseka’s favor, Paxton’s fighting spirit and flashing speed amounted to nothing but the first score upon Watseka in their league competition. Nuss scored on the old faithful scoring play in the final minutes. A long pass and a safety gave Onarga an early lead which was never overcome. Probably the only brilliant action witnessed in the game was the superb headwork of Flannigan when he blocked a place-kick with his snozzola. This old account will have to be settled next year.
