The sun shone brightly, with just the right Qpi ss in the air for a football game. Would it end in ti for second place or could the Crusaders hold the mighty ulldogs? Thousands came out to see. The half ended by 19 to 0 in the Crusaders favorg the drums started rolling, for the queen was ready to make her long awaited appearance. Who would it be? The football boys had nominated five fair Crusaderettes and had then taken a secret vote for the queen of the day. From the north came the sound of a bugle and a black convertible came slowlv along the west bleachers. In it were the five, one was standing with the sunshine turning her hair to a crown of gold. Bethel Jo Adair, the queen of 1944. Slowly she and her attendants Colleen Newkirk, Ramona Brown, Joan Schwinn and Mary Sue Saunders rode arounc' the track as the crowd cheered. Stopping near the throne Oll the fifty yard line, the girls met four band attendants and Arch Wallace who escorted the ladies to their places of honor. Blushingly, he crowned the queen and bestowed upon her the best Wishes of the football warriors while the bandsmen with him presented her attendants with lovely mums. So inspired were the Ark City fans that they cried out as they saw the queen, VVhere is Waugh? and as their fight -V ing Bulldogs came back on the field, they rose with mighty fury in an attempt to down the Crusaders. But Queen Jo reigned well and the game ended with a 19 to 15 score. .29-

A , Yea, team! Fight! Fight! -Rousing cheers, vigorous new yells and bits of unauthorized rhythms came from the cheering Crusaders who showed a peppy spirit during both the football and basketball seasons. Led by two veterans of last year, Minnie Wood and Joyce Ann Fredrickson, the student body elected Bruce Green, Raymond Wolford, and Gerald Clark to give the yells a masculine touch. The guys and gals worked out some formations and came forth with classy cheering. In there helping were the Senior High Girls pep club in their flashy red and white uniforms whose long awaited em- blems finally arrived too lat-e for football season. Officers for the year were Phyllis Palmer Gaddie, presidentg and Dorothy Mercer, vice president. Bertha Sorrows and Ramona Brown led group demonstrations at the games. The pep fairly bubbled at the Turkey Day football game, and the crowd went wild dur- ing the basketball battle with Newton. Remember the football team's rendition of chorus girls in the pep assembly before the Thanksgiving day game? With plenty of pep while mindful of the good sportsmanship code, the Crusaders have been really behind the boys in their marches to victory.
