Chosen to guide the Muse-ing ones for this year arc Helen Weimer, presi- dent: La Verne Vanck, vice-president: Carolyn Blu- dorn, secretary; French Hardesty, critic and treasurer. Programs of original writings are presented at most of the club meetings, which are held at various homes, under the leadership of Miss Florence I. Otis. By popular request, Manley W, Immel, the little giant, conducts auditions for girl cheer-leaders. The few chosen from the many called arc: Elaine Buch- holz, Murii ' l Bull, Mary Crotty, Alice Evans, June Fausset, Helen MacPhail, and Marjoric Strong. YEE-ee-ay, team! Woody Salins, Pete Pekras, Wally Wright, Larry Ruet, and Marshall Fastcrt will try to hold their ov n against the feminine contingent. With leaders such as these, what crowd and what team wouldn ' t respond enthusiastically? forward to a highly successful season, rivaling last year ' s record of but one meet lost. A new course has been routed following Madison street, Thatcher ave- nue. Washington boulevard, and both sides of the DesPlaines river. An innovation in pep meetings is introduced on the twentieth as all Proviso turns out for a stadium rouser. Gerry Bruce leads the session, which is considerably enlivened by the band, en masse, and cheer-full Mr, Immel and company. The junior varsity makes its debut in a night game with the Leydcn varsity on September 20, losing, 19-0. Several hundred A. E. F. veterans arc present as special guests of the administration. Evidence that they are still fond of a good scrap is shown in the way they cheer for the Blue-and-White on the foot- ball battlefield. o The King of the Campus now enters OpOriS spotlight. While football has always been the most popular sport at Proviso, as another gridiron campaign rolls around, the Board of Education seeks to make the entire community foot- ball-conscious. By inviting various groups to attend Proviso games, the Board strives to increase local interest in the great fall sport. September 13, with the varsity and lightweights meeting York in the opening games of the season, mothers of Proviso students attend as guests. While the heavies drop their opener, 6-0, the lights have little trouble in winning, 25-0. Mother ' s first lesson in football is therefore rated a 50-50 success, thanks partly to the broadcasting of Manley W. Immel. Training for cross-country begins on Monday, September 16, with Coach H. G. Monilaw as the guiding spirit. The thin-clad harriers are looking MANLEY AT THE MIKE HEADS up: a series: Page 25
