Cheer Leaders ARLY in the season it became manifest that more than one Cheer Leader would be necessary to handle the increased crowds, if anything like con- centrated yelling be continued. The Veteran Pat swayed the HBank of Humanity with the facile dominance which has always been his, but 10! over on the other side of the field was an innovation. The Knot-Hole Club, tnot offici- ally known as suchl, which had been tearing down fences had been admitted for the sum of one quarter, and reformed itself in its new quarters, constituting a Titan of lusty, cacophonic, treble opposition to all united cheering. Here indeed was a problem. These kids, loyal supporters that they are, were not only drown- ing signal acoustics and plays with their absolute pandemonium, and ructions in general, but actually succeeded in so intermeddling with the vocal efforts of the Grand-Stand under Pat, as to neutralize it. The Old-Timer would call the cheer, and none but the very near could get it or follow along in spite of his excess of gymnastics. The condition of alTairs was truly disheartening, and something had to be done. It was finally arranged that Pat continue to direct the elite, while Dick Deters and Ed McGrath would unite on the other side, and by pre-arrangement of cheers, work as one with Captain Geerin. It was a happy plan indeed. The kids who had defied the cops, provided for their guidance, be came as little lambs under the duet of yell semiphores. Each side thus cheering in unison produced an amount of pulsing volume that was simply sky-rending Oh it was great! Ame de Boue alone would have rendered one unresponsive to that beserker chorus. It was the blood cry produced by the delirium of the tight, and what fight is comparable to a football game. Vive le Football! Vive 1e Bruit! Page One Hundred Twenty-four

THE CO-OPERATORS ECORD BREAKERS -that is the distinction the Co-operators of '24325 have won for themselves. The activities of this organizatioh of the School of Commerce marks the fourteenth annual round of sociability and mutual helpfulness among the students. This organization had its origin in 1911, being at that time a class club promoted by Rev. John McCormack. The election of officers on November 28th was the signal for an outburst of the most spirited electioneering in the history of the Co-opsV After the clamor ceased the ttIdeal Ticket emerged victorious having succeeded in elect- ing Miss Marie B. Schenke as president, Leo. J. Wimberg, vice-president and Clarence Tabeling, treasurer. Miss Margaret Strotman of the Andy Gump Ticket was chosen secretary. Tuesday evening February 24th, the Hotel Alms was the scene of the annual card party and dance, the banner event of the year. Nearly one thousand persons attended, the largest number ever entertained by the Co- Operators. Adolph W. Haas, successful campaign manager of the Ideal Ticket was also the chairman of this affair. Miss Anna Schrage and Ed. C. Heile served as vice-chairmen. As a fitting ciimax to the yearts activities the banquet held on May 12th fulfilled its purpose. The members of the faculty were guests of honor on this occasionea tribute to their untiring efforts in behalf of the students. Ed. C, Bernhold acted as chairman Page One Hundred Twenty-six
