Council Names

'49 Yell King
Blond cheer leader Joe Janko
vitch was named '49 Yell King by
the Student Council at their
meeting Wednesday.
A sophomore in biz ad, Janko
vitch is from Grand Island and
has been on the cheering squad
for two semesters. He was re
sponsible for this year's new "Let
Her Rip" yell.
Other cheer leaders nominated
for the office were Norm Leger
and Bill Mickle. Leger declined
the nomination because the posi
tion would over point him.
Although any student is eligible
for the position of Yell King, it
was the decision of the Council to
select a varsity cheer leader, as
has been the policy in the past.
Besides being in charge of the
cheering section at athletic events,
it is the duty of the Yell King
to assist in an advisory capacity
in the selection of cheer leaders.
He works with the Com Cobs and
Tassels, pep organizations, and
with the rally committee. He co
ordinates rallys with the athletic
department. The operation of the
card section is under the Yell
King's direction, and he also as
sists Mr. Lentz with the stunts
put on by the band.
