"The biggest problem I had was trying to make sure every thing came out evenly spaced. But I think it came out all right." , About artist: A graduate of Youngstown College and past presi dent of YSU Alumni Association, Rempes, 78, said he fully supports the school's athletic programs ... all of them, not just football. "I was one of the first cheerlead ers the school ever had," he said. "Me and Chuck Baer cheered for the basketball team in 1934. After that year, Chuck transferred to an other school, and I cheered by my self for the next three years. "I graduated in the summer of '38 and the football program started that fall, so they asked me to come back and cheer for the football team. I did for the first few games, but I couldn't keep up witli those younger kids," he said, smil- ing. , Feels pride: Rempes is proud of how the school has grown since his days as a st\ldent. "When I was attending Youngs town College, there were only two buildings - Jones Hall and a house right next to Jones Hail, which was tlie business school," he said. ' Rempes said he never imagined "in a million years" seeing the football team play on national tele vision. Colorful anecdote: The talk of change brought out another lit tle-known fact about YSU's school colors, which, in his day, were red and gold. . " Frieda Flint was the public re lations director at Youngstown Col lege," he said. "When she had to send out publicity material, it was expensive to print two colors, so she encouraged the school to do away with the gold," he said. That left just red ink on white paper, hence YSU's official colors today: red and white.
