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.

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
