ELL SQUAD The 1949-50 Yell Squad was made up of Hollis Hill, Yell Kingg Mike Colbert, Georgianna Clark, Fae Matthews, and Jody Briscoe. The squad put life into the football and basketball games played by the Southern Qregon teams. The bright red and white costumes worn by members of the squad lent color to the games. A spirit of sportsman- ship was promoted by the squad. Under the direction of Hollis Hill, the squad members traveled to the various cities at which Southern Oregon played. They gave unstinting support to the Viking Red Raiders. Sometimes, overly exuberant fans had to be pla- cated, but always the squad was busy urging S.0.C. stu- dents to stand behind their team.
