Juegos [Sports] THE CHEERLEADERS We had three new cheerleaders this year to help Dorothy Schwinn and Myra McMakin. They were Marilyn Getz, Phyllis Bolliger, and Mary Lou Fluegel. These girls did a very good job leading the fans in cheers to lead the boys on to victory. After some hard practice they were able to add stunts to the yells which always help. Since four of these girls were seniors, several junior girls practiced with them so that they might gain some helpful hints and ideas need- ed in cheerleading. TRACK AND WRESTLING Our coach introduced a brand new sport this winter. Wrestling was accept- ed very enthusiastically by the boys. We had an intramural wrestling match as well as meets with Pekin, Ke- wanee, and Peoria Manual. The matmen did very well considering the odds they were against. The coming years will find wrestling a major sport in this high school, Alvin Beutel, Ben Hodgson, and Floyd Stuber won a sufficient number of matches to quality for letters. No one hears much about the track team, but we have one and they’re real- ly burning up the cinders. We haven’t won a meet this year, but keep your eyes on this team. Ray Wells, Jim Pflederer, Bob Gibson, and Wilbur Giff- horn have done quite well in their first year of competition. Giffhorn finished second in the mile at the County Meet and Bob was fifth in the low hurdles. Left to right: Marilyn Getz, Phyllis Bolliger, Dorothy Schwinn, Myra McMakin, Mary L. Flugel Page 21 •
