1926 NSTC Yearbook - Yell Leaders

Few people realize that the yell leaders for an institution play a very prominent part in the school’s athletic engagements. Their role is equal in importance to that of the athletes themselves. Keen insight, good judgment, alertness and understanding must be embodied in the person holding this position. The morale of the team; the ability to win over all obstacles is the result of consistent support from the sidelines.

Wiley White as head yell leader, and Doris Carmen as assistant, formed a formidable team of “pep” promoters for Northwestern this year. Their part in the victories for the “Rangers” cannot be overlooked and the glory of the Red and Black will live forever it the fine support and unsurpassed spirit shown at the majority of this years games can continue.

‘Tis the duty of the “Hot Line,”
To make Rangers of ‘em all –
For when they land at old Northwestern,
They ha’nt got no “pep” a-tall.
But a session with the Tuff Nutts
Makes for fight and grin and grit,
And “pep” at old Northwestern
Would sure be lackin’ – but for it.
