In rain or shine, winning or losing, they lead the school in the yells which often stimulate our athletes to make their finest efforts. The colorful uniforms of the cheer leaders add to the games. All of the leaders have vigor and pep. They deserve credit for Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! West Side! West Side! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! West Side! West Side! Rah! Rah! West Side! page forty-five

Page forty-four SO WE WONT FORGET THE SCARLET AND GRAY By S. C. Thompson Now again while we’re together, Let us all our praises raise, For the school we love so dearly As the Searlet and the Gray. May we never once forget her, Nor the emblem of the gray, Nor the color of gay scarlet, That her spirit does portray. Chorus We'll all stand by the scarlet and gray, The colors we love best of all. We never know fright with a team that will fight As they hasten to victory’s call. (Rah, Rah, Rah.) And as they fight with a vim and a might We'll stand by them come what may, To prove that we are loyal to the colors Sarlet and Gray. In the years that are to follow, Back to you we'll turn our thoughts. To your teams and to your heroes And the scrappy games they fought. To the happy days spent with you, To the good old days of yore, To the days when we stood by you, In the years that have gone before. Chorus W. L. VICTORY SONG By Marshall Howenstein Searlet and Gray We love the Scarlet and Gray We'll sing a song to West Side High where’er we go And fight for vic-to-ry against our ev’ry foe. Scarlet and Gray, We pledge our loy-al-ty to you, And on the field of battle we will prove our mettle for our West Side High—— -——— Yea!

The grid- ders kept their name in the “win” column the next week-end by slipping and sliding to a muddy 27 to 0 victory over Hoopeston. As you may have guessed, it was raining; but there was hard blocking and tackling. Bill Canfield scored all of the W. L. touchdowns. On October 1, W. L. knocked off their traditional rival from the other side of the beautiful Wabash. The game ended with a 14 to 0 Page forty-six
