Coach Laude gives advice, as members of the team shake hands in the huddle before game time. But whois the little stranger, number 51?

flaww, Clheefw, 526964 and afimidea, Go-o-o-o, East high, Go! , Go-0-o-o, East high, Go! Smash 'um, bust 'um, That's our custom. Go-o-o-o, East high, Go! Basketball is an exciting sport, both for the spectators and the players. You could say Rockford is basketball crazy and you wouldn't be far from wrong. Thereis some- thing about the game - remember West Aurora, when East was rated tops in the state, and Howie broke an individual scor- ing record? We were sure we were headed for the Sweet Sixteen, but it just wasn't in the cards. Dave broke his foot, Howie and Bruce were injured. Weire not blaming any- one, or making excuses, we lost to Belvi- dere and didn't go downstate. But, smiles and tears, sighs and cheers, as the season endedg no one denied we had a good year, and loved every minute of it. Sophomore cheerleaders, Charmaine Melin, Nancee Clark, Sandy Barber, and Helen Di Tullio, order a coke to rest their weary throats. Youlve got to F-I-G-H-T, You've got to F-I-G-H-T, You've got to F-I-G-H-T, You've got to WIN! Though the boys all have srniles as they sign teammate Dave Leppert's cast, they missed Dave on the squad to work with them. His injury, as well as others, hampered East greatly this year. Huddled around Dave are Rog Coffman, Dick Foerester, Dave Kjell, Howie Weyburg, Don Roos, Bruce Lantow, and Bob Holmquist. Q -Chicago Daily News Photo 27
