Jenna, Ghana, ifiigha and Jimikaa, Go-0-o-o, East high, Go! Go-o-o-o, East high, Go! Smash ium, 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 wouldnt be far from wrong. Theres 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. Were not blaming any- one, or making excusesg we lost to Belvi- dere and didn't go downstate. But, smiles and tears, sighs and cheers, as the season ended, no one denied we had a good year, and loved every minute of it. You've You've You've You've got got got got F-I-G-H-T, F-I-G-H-T, F-I-G-H-T, WIN! Sophomore cheerleaders, Charmaine Melin, Nancee Clark, Sandy Barber, and Helen Di Tullio, order a coke to rest their weary throats. Though the boys all have smiles 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. 2' IWW -Chicago Daily News Photo

Dick Harris and Gordy Thorell sweep the gym floor be- tween halves of the game, while other R-club men usher and take tickets in return for free passes. Coach Laude gives advice, as members of the team shake hands in the huddle before game time. But wh0's the little stranger, number 51? Why he's just a Rab, the little guy who represents the spirit and loyalty of East High rooters whether the boys win or lose. Come on team,-I'm all for you! Bcwkefdalf l9Juln,g, Let's back that coach, Let's back that team, Come on gang, let off some steam, With a U-rah, rah, rah rah, With a U-rah, rah, rah rah, With a team, team, team!

The plot involves a crooked Sheriff, a gang of outlaws, two love stories, capture and escape, and since it is a comedy, final happiness. The three-act comedy, The Royal Family by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, acted the story of the Cavendishes, a theatrical minded family who live in New York City and closely resembles the Barrymores of Broadway and Hollywood fame. Fea- tured actors were two French poodles, a parrot, and a real baby.
