l.. Craig. B, Enloe. M. Abbott of ZfB fans. Our school morale was so high that even Anasthesia, our plastic doll, rattled her approval when our team scored. Our fans were not only high school students, but adults and grade school children as well. Some adults never missed a home game, and cheered louder than the high school students. These leaders were quick on the up' take when school rivalry in cheers was suggested. Our great rival this year was Vkfarren, and each school had quite a lot of fun trying to outcheer the other. These three girls are talented not only in cheerleading, but in acrobatics as well. ZfB will long remember Mary's famous flips, 'Berta's spunk and perfect timing in her face fall, and Laurell perfect rhythm in leading cheers. ZfB gladly and humbly take their hats off to you for your superb cheering and loyality to the teams and school. In other words, you were always on the ball . Eden M LM ln the early spring of 1944 a large number of boys reported for track train' ing to Coach Fred Stanton. They first held a few indoor sessions and then began regular outside practice at the football field and surrounding roads. The intramural meet to determine outstanding trackmen was held April 3and 4. Interesting and keen comf petition resulted and top trackmen came to the front. The senior class held a comfortable lead throughout by taking blue ribbons for ten out of eleven events to win 70.5-26.7 over the juniors who were second highest. Though many who came to daily practice show abilities in their particular lines, a few have consistently stood out as better than average. Among those chosen are Martin, Eliason, johnson, Burt, Stockstill, Blonn, Olson, J. McDowell, and C. McDowell. Although the dates have not been definitely settled upon, ZionfBenton thinclads have secured several track meets. They are: Intramural Meet. . .April 3 and 4 Horlick ..............

Q Amateur Wrestling was introduced at ZionfBenton during the winter months of 1943744. This ZfB sports addition was started through the efforts of Mr. V. O. Hain' line, who also coached the team. The main advantage of wrestling experience lies in developing coordinaf tion needed to overpower an opponent. Wrestling also gives a small boy the chance to compete with opponents his own size. Due to war restrictions, the squad was limited to two outside matches. However, next year they plan to conf tact some Chicago and Wisconsin schools for meets. The squad lost two matches to Washington Park, Racine. The majority of the squad are fresh' men and sophomores, who will develop C6 into more formidable grapplers by next year.
