CHEER LEADERS What is the most familiar sound at a game? Natur- ally the first thing you think of is the cheering. But who is responsible for organizing the cheers? Western has a select group of students who represent the school by leading cheers. This year's squad is one of the largest Western has ever had. The boys were led by two dynamic captains, Seniors Mark Blunt and Johnny Angelidis. Cheerleading is important at a game as it may be the deciding factor between defeat and victory. The players seem to put forth a greater effort when they know that the student body is behind them. The most promising leaders for next year's squad are Ralph Bojanowski, Armin Wolff, Jack Solsburg, John Manos, and Tommy Watson. Come on, fellows! Let's show 'em your stuff!! BADMINTON CLUB The Badminton Club under the direction of Coach J. Laub is purely an intramural organization for those who like badminton. The club meets on a specified day after school, and the members practice with birdies and racquets. The game is similar to tennis except that the racquet is a little smaller and a cork with feathers or birdie is used instead of a ball. The game provides lots of enjoyment and exercise for the participants, and it is becoming a very popular sport for everyone. The president of this year's club is Charles Mishakis. l M Blunt K Kuhn J Solsburg J Manos T Watson R Bojanowski Front V Swenness W Crider M Ke Tomory A Karnafil Back J Gierak B Mernovage J Laub coach H Dickinson C Mishakis A Pasko G Abdo Page jtjty nm l . , . , r . 8 , . , . , . . : . , .
