YOUR HARMONY EDITION A OF THE QjO W Q ,435 7 CLOSE HARMONY BUILDS FOR A BETTER FUTURE This is a triumphant year! The darkness of world conflict is passing. The men of the armed forces of our country are returning to their native land-their schools, their work, their homes. Life is coming back to normalcy. But We cannot rest on the victories of the past. To "win the peace," we must develop greater understanding, tolerance, unity, and fidelity among men and nations. Harmony is our theme as we face the "open road."

The functions of the Board are fixed and con- trolled by state law fPennsylvania's School Codel. The more important items which require the atten- tion of the Board are: levying taxes for support of schools, authorizing expenditures, employing per- sonnel and fixing salaries, providing adequate school buildings, approving curriculum, and purchasing textbooks, furniture, and other supplies. Page Eight A Challenge for Enduring Peace Principal The challenge of the future is to achieve the real art of living together. Graduation from our high school should mean that you have acquired such attitudes toward your fellowmen that you would strive to live with them harmoniously, helpfully, and con- structively. This world, torn with strife and misunderstanding, needs cit- izens with a capacity for self-direction, a sense of personal and civic duty. We need a generation with clear vision and undaunted determination to search for the truth. The enduring peace that the world is so eagerly seeking must be erected on the foundation of character, truth, and understanding. We hope that, in your experiences in the Altoona High School, you have acquired not only the ability but also the urge to make your contribution in the establishment of a better World in which to live - a world in which each individual can experience true freedom and the opportunity to achieve to the limit of his capacity.

Harmony in the classroom, teamwork in sports, and cooperation in all school activities are obtained under the guidance of the A. H. S. faculty. These capable, well trained people are not only our advisers and teachers -they are also our friends. Although we, the pupils, must assume responsibility for our own classroom work, although we plan parties, dances, and other activities, all eyes turn to the teachers when new problems and difficulties arise. They help us to solve these problems. The members of our faculty have earned degrees from institutions located in many parts of the United States, a few have studied in other countries. Their experience has been rich and varied. They are actively interested in community affairs. They are fully qualified to prepare us for good citizenship. At the beginning of the school year, ten of the group were serving in the Armed Forces. During the first semester, Messrs. Moore, Lamont, Whittaker, and Wood returned to civilian life, six are still in the Service. Front Row-Mr. Haverstick, Miss Krouse, Miss Bloomfield, Miss Plitt, Mr. Smith, Mr. C.

This group is made up of representatives from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes and every major organization of the school. Many of the little things,- as Well as some more important accomplishments around A. H. S., are the result of the efforts of the Senate members. Along the entertainment line, the students witnessed a gala event when the Senate sponsored one of the first dances of the year-the Hallowe'en Dance. This group aided the American Legion Auxiliary by collecting food and soap coupons for the benefit of veterans in Valley Forge hospital. They took part in the observance of American Education Week, helped in the book drive, and were active in collecting student contributions for the "March of Dimes." College afternoon was sponsored by the Senate. The group provided ushers not only for this occasion but also for P. T. A. night and Visitors' Day. This year the Senate constitution was revised. Much interest was shown in helping other schools organize stu- dent governments. Six delegates Were sent to the Student Government Convention. The sophomore members of the organization take care of the indispensable "Lost and Found" department and in case you're wondering who trimmed the trees in the light- wells at Christmas-the Senators did that, too.

Bill of Rights, a number of veterans of World War II, honorably discharged from the armed forces, returned to our school to continue their education. Some of these men were enrolled in regular high school classes, but the majority of them were enrolled in either the vocational night school, or in the Special Veterans' Group. The latter group, taught by Eugene Lantz, pro- vided an accelerated course in English and Social Studies with the opportunity to enroll in other high school classes. A number of these veterans planned to work off the requirements for a high school diploma, and many of them completed the requirements during the year.

'Q 1 , 1 A Wi: Activities Association Mr. Dickey BENEFITS EVERY A. H. S. STUDENT The Activities Association is probably the most popular organization of the school among teachers and students-if one can judge by the number of members who enjoy the extensive program sponsored by the group. Not long after school opens in the fall, the students purchase their tickets. Why? Be- cause, as all humans do, they like fun! For the small sum of fifty cents, they purchase the all- important piece of cardboard which enables them to receive the school paperg to attend the many special, novel assembly programs, to at- tend athletic games at reduced rates, to take part in friendly competition, and to purchase the yearbook, the Horseshoe, at a small re- duction in price. In fact, for fifty cents they re- ceive a five-dollar value in "fun." However, the benefits derived from mem- bership in this organization aren't all so tangible as those listed above. Nearly all of the students join the Activities Association, and every mem- ber can partake of that special "feeling of be- longing" which means so much in school life, it is their privilege to share in the different ac- tivities such as class dances, the senior banquet, and other similar pleasures which bind the group together. This association, under the leadership of Earl W. Dickey, does much to link closely to- gether the teachers and the students in a harmonious school life. The entire school per- sonnel can cooperate in its enjoyable, interest- ing, and profitable program. In the many activities promoted by the association, as it gradually developed through the years, many students were able to display qualities of leadership and develop other abili- ties. League Gives Service Most active among the organizations dedicated to the interests of the girls at A. H. S. is the Girls League. Every girl entering the school automatically becomes a member and benefits from the services rendered by the league. Many interesting and varied assembly programs are sponsored by this organization and planned by its program committee. Programs are arranged so that as many girls as possible may participate. In keeping with this plan, two style shows were pre- sented in the auditorium. The speakers heard in assembly included Doris Corwith of N. B. C., who spoke on the opportunities offered in the field of radio, and Emory Nelson, whose topic was "Boy and Girl Relationships." An assembly program in the form of an amateur show was given to raise money for the Girls League scholarship fund. Every year the girls offer two scholarships which the recipients may use for college or other training courses. A booklet presenting local employment oppor- tunities was published by the vocational committee and issued to Senior girls-a project which undoubt- edly proved helpful to many girls.

The Home Room Representatives, under the guidance of Miss Heiss, put our school "over the top" in many drives. They boosted the sale of Parent-Teacher Association tickets, bring- ing the total memberships to 2,178. They convinced students of the importance of salvaging coupons from various household products to contribute to the building of a green- house for the Valley Forge General Hospital. The Activity Ticket sale is always large, and this year the sale totaled 2,666 "Horseshoe" sales totaled 1,029 copies, and during the Victory Loan Drive our school sold a total of 350,315.60 in bonds and stamps. The representatives collected contributions for Red Cross and Friendship Boxes. They sold tickets for the Girls League special pro- grams, the band and orchestra concerts, the annual show, and other school events. Through the cooperation of Home Room Representatives and their classmates and teachers, these school drives were successful. Front Row-D. Rice, K. Collier, L. Davis, J. Himes, J. Gority, G.

Al- though the Echo is still going 'round the world, the number of copies mailed has been decreased with the return of veterans. The Echo helps to publicize school events. Also, it follows graduates who have entered various fields of training and the boys in the United States Service. Sponsoring the contest for naming the annual show was one of the privileges of the Echo group. Makeup, style of type, copy, and circulation methods, all under the sponsorship of Miss Heller, are those of an up-to-date school paper. A new column, introduced this year, was entitled "Chatterbox," and included items not important enough for an articleg this served as a medium for comment on brief news items not included elsewhere in the paper. i To conclude a year that was full of activity, the staff at- tended the Blair County Scholastic Press Convention.

This is the opening sentence of the Compass, a handbook that is au- thoritative and helpful and acts as a guide for incoming students. It is pub- lished each year and is adjusted to suit that year's need. Thus it meets the ever- changing conditions of the school. The contents are invaluable. Among the many things included are floor plans, the proposed school calendar, the daily schedule, a list of faculty mem- bers, school rules and regulations, and information about courses of study and the extra-curricular program. All this -in a pocket-size guide which is easily handled. The staff, selected by petition and subjected to the approval of the spon- sor Mr. Lantz, does excellentpwork for . ,, , , ! the incoming students. The Compass leads to better adjust- ment for Altoona High's students and teachers. STAFF MEMBERS Editor-in-Chief ...................... Joan Settle Business Manager ........

The smooth and efficient management of our publications is due largely to the helpful supervision of the Board of Publications. This organization is composed of advisers and students, representatives from the three publications, the Compass, the Mountain Echo, and the Horse- shoe. Mr. Dickey, the head of student activities, who presides at all meetings, and Miss Bancroft, head of the English Department, are also mem ers. . The group secures and approves contracts for the publications, establishes the budget for each one, and approves the staff members. It aids in arranging local press conferences at which our students fre- quently participate in programs. In the past, delegates have been sent to meetings of the Scholastic Press Association held at Columbia Univer- sity, but travel restrictions have made such attendance inadvisable during the last few years. It is likely that in the future these trips will be resumed. The board aids in the success of the Annual Show by excellent management and promotion of the ticket sale. For many years, near the end of the school term, the members of the Publication Board have sponsored an annual banquet or picnic. From time to time it has arranged for interesting speakers for the staff groups, many of them representing famous magazines and news- papers, such as Life magazine, the New York Herald Tribune, and the New York Times. ,Y Page Eighty-one uill and Scroll National Scriveners Miss Heller Seated-J.

Frances Balliette Did you ever notice a tiny gold pin worn proudly by certain members of the Horseshoe, the Mountain Echo, and the Compass staffs? If such a pin has aroused your curiosity, it is the official insignia of "Quill and Scroll." Membership in this organization has become a coveted goal of A. H. S. journalism aspirants. Over WFBG, the local chapter presented many "snappy" programs Written by its members. The hustle and bustle of arranging a program is a thrilling expe- rience for every member . . . one never to be forgotten. For the initiation, observed twice a year, the new recruits are chosen from those who have done "top" work on one of the school publications and have high scholastic standing. Directed by Miss Heller, the "Scriveners" have essay, short story, and poetry contests within the school, they also enter contests, sponsored by the in- ternational society, which help fit them better for a place in the World of journalism.

They depicted, with good taste and discrim- ination, various school events, holidays, and seasonal interests. In the selection of themes and materials, they endeavored to develop an appreciation of fine arts among the stu- dents of A. H. S. They also made an out- standing contribution to the growth of school spirit. Aeronautics Club "Now this mark here means an observa- tion station 5 this one means a fire tower." That's the kind of information gleaned in Miss Sauserman's Aeronautics Club which meets every Friday after school. The object of the club is to become familiar with Civil Air Regulations and to learn to read and interpret airway maps. The mem- bers also study Aerial Navigation and plot ground speed by the wind. At airports they receive first-hand information and pick up bits of meteorology. Art Display Club ley, P. Weyant, G. Gotshall Second Row-C. Handmaker, V Gable. 1 Front Row-B. Young, P. Mark- D.

To assist in preventing interruption in the movement of the lines, to insist on a stu- dent's respecting the rights of others, to re- organize tables and chairs for the benefit of the incoming classes-these are just a few of the reasons Why the Cafeteria Patrol was instituted.

These students are curious to know more about chemistry than they can learn in class. The club members, under the direction of Mr. Hoffman, perform experiments, profit from lectures and movies, and go on field trips. All members must be above average stu- dents in Chemistry. This requirement puts the club on an honorary basis. The Flask and Beaker is one of the oldest scientific clubs in A. H. S. Five F Club To spread ideals of Christian fellowship among the young people here at school is the purpose of the Five F Club, sponsored by the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Paul Milburn. The Five F's stand for fellowship, faith, forum, food, and fun, discussions by the group, interesting speakers, and an annual banquet are among the enjoyable and profit- able ways the group carried out these ob- jectives. This year the regular meetings were marked by choruses and testimonies. Hi-Y Club The purpose of this club is to "Create, Maintain, and Extend throughout the School, Church, Home and Community, High Stand- ards of Christian Character." Any boy who is attending High School may become a mem- ber of the Hi-Y Club providing he is willing to make the purpose and ideals of this club his guide for daily living. After hearing interesting speakers at their weekly meetings in the Y. M. C. A., the boys participated in a wide variety of athletic and social activities. Music Program Club Singing at the Penn-Alto for civic organi- zations and in the annual show were only a few of the accomplishments of the members of the Music Program Club. Under the direction of Miss Eberle, the girls sang both sacred and secular music. Their specialty was the rendition of Fred Waring's music. Besides choral work, they featured special numbers by individuals and by small groups. These girls were welcomed on many programs because of their gracious manner and pleasing harmony.

Nature Observation Club The members of the Nature Observation Club and their sponsor, Miss Faust, helped to plant hemlock and walnut trees at Lake- mont Park, the hemlocks add beauty, and squirrels will probably compete for the walnuts. The club members established feeding sta- tions to insure a plentiful supply of food for the birds, they also encouraged the use of conservation of plants by displaying decora- tive arrangements for Christmas, the use of branches of pine trees or ground pine was discouraged. Girl Reserves Club This year the Girl Reserves launched a new program. A "Putter Shop" and a club room were equipped at the Y. W. C. A. for the convenience of the girls. Monthly, a "Co-Ed" party was held with the Hi-Y members. , The Akitt Club, one of the many special Girl Reserves clubs, met on club days at the high school under the direction of Miss Louise Williamson. Each member adorned her own sweater with blue and White nume- rals which she, herself, made. , Roller Skating Club The Skating Club, sponsored by Mr. Morse, was composed of approximately one hundred members. They met the first and third Tuesdays of every month at the J affa Mosque. Some of the members were skilled, others were not so adept. The skating act in the annual show was a brilliant performance. The club members appreciated the use of the excellent facilities offered at the Mosque and thoroughly enjoyed the evenings set aside for skating-evenings of wholesome fun. Rifle Club Bull's eye! That's the aim of the members of the Rifle Club of A. H. S., sponsored by Mr. Walter Dietze. The club, composed of the basic and graduate Clast year's mem- bersl groups, totaled forty-five and met every Thursday. The members shot in relays. The club is affiliated ,iyvith the National Riiie Association. The graduate group spent the first part of the year in improving their shooting for the competition in the Hearst and Inter-Scholastic tournaments. Page Ninety-one Squad Leaders Front Row-D.

Squad Leaders Giving commands, demonstrating exer- cises, leading calesthenics, and assisting in gym tests are some of the many duties of the Squad Leaders in the boys' gym. These boys are picked because of their leadership qualities and their good scholas- tic standing. They take an active part in all intramural sports and contests. Their con- tribution, which helped to make this term a successful and harmonious one in physcial education, proved to be a profitable asset in the gym routine. Squad Leaders The Squad Leaders, selected for their quality of leadership and their ability to co- operate, have many duties to perform. They get the girls on the gym iloor on time, they turn out all the lights in the locker roomsg they call the class to order, take the roll, assist the teacher with the gym work, care for valuables, and record showers.

No, they are not drowning! They are the members of the Swimming and Water Safety Club-learning a new stroke. This club is sponsored by Mr. Morse, two able life guards assist him in training these students. The club met every Thursday at the Y. M. C. A. pool. The swimmers were graded on their basic strokes and were divided into three classes: the first, for life saving, the second, for diving, and the third, for im- provement. Their motto is "Practice Makes Perfect." Sub-Deb Club Girls who are interested in self-improve- ment found the meetings of the Sub-Deb Club profitable. These programs, sponsored by Miss Hare and Miss Morrison, dealt with problems of the average teen-age girl. Mrs. Allen gave some interesting facts on cosmetics and a demonstration of hair styles. Miss Boyle gave details about the DuBarry course. These are but two of the excellent programs presented throughout the year. One of the outstanding activities was the recording of each girl's voice.

These girls, chosen after a series of competitive tests, participate in the An- nual Show and give a performance for a Girls League Assembly. It takes a great deal of cooperation, long hours of hard Work, and harmonious team- Work to achieve the breath-taking perform- ance seen in the Annual Show, but the girls who join this club do so for the sheer enjoy- ment of it. Traific Patrol The Traffic Patrol, under the direction of Miss Lauver, who is aided by a general cap- tain and floor captains, keeps order in the halls and on the stairs during the change of classes.

The change from boys to girls was due mostly to the "man shortage." Miss Eyre, the sponsor of the club, made the new idea a "hit" and the girls enthu- siastically enjoyed their varied duties. The most important engagements of the year were the English Department Play and the Annual Show. This courteous and efficient group also helped at concerts and other civic affairs.

Mr. Krivsky Page Ninety-eight Messages in Music The Altoona High School band and orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Krivsky, have pro- vided musical backgrounds for many school programs and have been the source of much enjoyment in our school and community. The one hundred piece band aroused the en- thusiasm of spectators at our football and bas- ketball games and strengthened our cheering sections. The annual band concert, which was presented in February, featured a variety of musical numbers, including the "United Na- tions Rhapsodyf' "Jack and the Beanstalk," and the trumpet solo, "From the Shores of the Mighty Pacific." The band also represented our school in parades and other civic affairs and always made a good showing. The orchestra concert, which was given in March, featured "Desert Song," "March of the Toys," and other Well-liked numbers. The or- chestra, besides playing for our school assem- bly programs, provided the musical background for our school plays. Both groups were highly complimented on their line programs.

S., but also in the city and surrounding areas where their services were in demand. The year's program in high school included special numbers for assemblies and dances. Their contribution to the Annual Show was much appreciated. The band had at its command a Variety of numbers and could include "favorites" for everybody. The "jivers" will long re- member its harmony and swing. Dance Band Front Row-C. Nagle, D. Laher, J. Bratton, D. Shellenberger, J. Vames, D. Ake. Second Row-J. Leasure, R. inger, R. Helms, D. Lenz.

H. S. dramatics department. The annual English department play started the season off with iiying colors, when Janie, the stage-hit, was enjoyed by an appreciative audience which iilled the Roosevelt auditorium to capacity. The Christmas pageant, Miracle of the Clock, was a beautiful and impressivei portrayal of the Nativity scene. A Posture Program gave a very good presentation of the defects of all too many students. The sketch stressed the possibilities of corrective measures for poor posture, in an effective but entertaining manner. Two comedies featured assembly programs, Yes Means No, and Wild Hobby Horses. Both plays met with the hearty approval of the student body. The cast of Wild Hobby Horses brought honor to A. H. S. when they presented the play at Shippensburg State Teachers College Where nine schools gave one- act plays. Comments and criticisms were enumerated by a critic from Time magazine. The last program of the year included humorous skits produced by a "physical culture" class and by an "elocution" class. "Production, plus," is the motto of the members of the dramatics group and Miss Magee, their sponsor. "The Miracle" 2 if . TJ f A 25, .

S. gridders faced South High. Prosperi kicked off to open the new season. Getting the ball on the 43-yard line, Altoona marched 57 yards for the first score. A pass fell into the hands of Mathewson, who ran 40 yards for the second touch- down. At the beginning of the third quarter, Prosperi's pass was intercepted by Kostek, who made South High's lone touchdown. Prosperi carried the ball across from the 3-yard line. Young rushed the extra point to make the final score 28-6. Celebrating Pittsburgh month, the A. H. S. team welcomed another Steeltown foe, Westinghouse. The Electrics really tied a knot in the tail of the Mountain Lion by handing them a 12-0 defeat. Westinghouse kicked off, Young fumbled, and the Electrics recovered.

Westinghouse kicked off again, Prosperi went the whole length of the field to score-but it was called back because of a penalty. Near the end of the second quarter Altoona threatened, but failed to score. The second half was evenly matched until the last quarter, when the Electrics pushed over another score. Celebrating Dads' day, the Maroon eleven squeezed out a 6-0 victory over the New Castle Hurricanes. The first half of the game -.. was a closely contested battle and the fans had an exciting time of it. The ball was marched up and down the field, each team threatening, but neither succeeding in forc- ing it across the goal. The third quarter, however, proved the Waterloo of the Hurri- canes, as a blocked punt from the 9-yard line was recovered by Guido. After a few running plays, a pass, Mathewson to Prosperi, proved successful. This score brought Altoona its first WPIAL victory. For the first away game, the Mountain Lower Row: W. Durkin, R.

A couple tosses of the ball, within the first five minutes of the game, and Latrobe led, 6-0. During the first three quarters, the ball was toted up and down the field but neither team could score. Altoona had to wait until the fourth quarter to even the count. The extra point was tried but failed - much to the regret of the A. H. S. fans. At Mansion Park the Altoona Lions met the Greensburg Lions. The first score came early in the game when Altoona marched 40 yards to score. Prosperi carried across the extra point. The scoring was stalemated till the last period, when Altoona led, 14-0. -W K Coach Bashore Trainer Bartholo Coach McDermitt Coach Dinges Front Row-W. Durkin, B. Rich- ards, J. White, R. O'Donnel, F.

Final score, 14-7, Altoona. Playing host to the service clubs of Al- toona, the Mountain Lions grabbed a 20-12 victory from the Windber Ramblers. In a close-fought battle, Kutch and Turcovski turned in the score. With passes and penal- ties, both teams scored in the second period. Altoona managed to convert, Windber did not. Scoring once in the third quarter and once again in the final quarter, the Maroons put the game on ice. The undefeated Donora Dragons ran the Altoona lads ragged and emerged victorious with a 34-7 victory. The magnificent line and a speedy back led them to victory from a Lion half, ending 7-6. In the second quarter, Earon stole the ball from Towler and crossed the goal for a touchdown. Prosperi converted and A. H. S. led, 7-6! "Deacon" Towler ran wild in the last half to score four touchdowns and to clinch the victory for Donora. Get Tickets Here In the final home game of the season- and the last appearance for the seniors at Mansion Park-the A. H. S. fans saw the Mountain Lions decisively beat the Braddock Tigers, 34-0. It was Altoona all the way as they scored 20 points in the xirst quarter. The subs played most of the game and Brad- dock paid for the defeat they handed us last year. Playing the last game of the season, the Mountain Lions toured away to meet the Williamsport Millionaires. The field was muddy and play during the first half was slow, but the Millionaires forced across a touchdown in the first quarter. In the second half, they came back strongly and scored two more touchdowns. The Billtown gridders showed great power and handed the Bayites a 19-0 defeat. This marked the last game for twenty-one seniors. These fellows really did a great job and upheld the athletic standards of A. H. S. -always coming through with a great team.

An inter- esting thing to note is that Mahaffey is a girl-coached team. The A. H. S. starters quickly scored a touchdown, Kolbenschlag crossing in the first period after a pass interception. Meyer, substitute half-back, went over twice in the second period. From there on the other three strings were in and out of the game alternately, scoring twice in the third period and once in the last. Replogle A couple of forward passes, perfectly executed, produced a pair of touchdowns that led to a tie. The two teams were evenly matched the iirst halfg and both scores came in the second period. Wible scored for the Little Lions. Replogle dominated the entire second half and three times Altoona had to hold inside the 10-yard line. Replogle showed fine team Work and good line plays. All in all it was a thrilling game and worth anyone's time to see it. Final score, 7-7. One Hundred Fourteen mothers pponents Bigler After resting a week the Little Lions came back with a bang and swamped the Bigler boys, 42-0. Scor- ing came easy as the J. V.'s tallied in every period. Bigler couldn't seem to get very far against any of the four Lion teams Coach Paul Adams used. Al- toona made six straight extra points on rushing. Carrolltown Winding up a very successful season, the J. V.'s turned back a tough Carrolltown eleven, 20-0. All the scoring came in the first half, with Wible and Beauch- camp doing the ball toting. The result of the season was three Wins and one tie with Replogle. Congratula- tions are in order for Coach Adams and the Little Lions as they finished their second undefeated season. May they be as successful on the gridiron in 1946! J. V. RECORD Team AHS Opp Mahaffey ........ 46 0 Replogle .......... 7 7 Bigler .............. 42 0 Carrolltown .... 20 0 J. V.

The weather was great and the boys got themselves in shape for a tough season ahead. Starting off in traditional style, the track- sters showed real promise. In the first and second Handicap meets, Bob Hay, Captain, won the thousand-yard run, Clapper and Fluke the sprints, Crozier and Debo the hurdles, Frontz and Guido the weights, and Mathewson the broad jump. For their first scheduled meet the Mt. Lions toured to Ambridge while the mile relay team went to the Penn Relays. The boys at Philadelphia didn't do so well be- cause of lack of experience. At Ambridge, although they didn't come out on top, the Thinclads really showed their colors. Two iirsts were taken, the most important being the discus, which gave us permanent pos- Front Row-R.

Our team consisted of Hay, Boyles, Nixdorf, and Nichol. We also took two seconds, one third, and two fourths, which gave Altoona third-place standing. Next on deck came the inter-class meet which was won by the juniors with 66 points, the seniors were second with 22 points, and sophomores third with 19. A week later the Coaches' Relays were held. The mile relay team came in first, as did our sprinters. The shuttle hurdle team also came in first. In field events, the discus and shot brought first places while the jave- lin, pole vault, broad jump, and high jump brought second places. In the ensuing weeks, our team competed in two dual meets. The first one, with Wil- hamsport, was Won by a small margin. Williamsport took most of the first places but Altoona led in the weight events and managed to win by a small margin. The sec- ond, with Bellwood, the J. V.'s won easily. Following these dual meets was the Dis- trict Six Meet which Altoona took in her stride with 84 points. Outstanding perform- ances were given by Paul Weaver, high jump, Ray Frontz, shot and discus, and the mile relay team. r The boys who were district champs went to State College for the State Meet. With their usual fine showing, Altoona grabbed second place honors, trailing Upper Darby. The broad jumpers, high jumpers, hurdlers, sprinters, and weight men all brought home a few points. The State Meet brought to a close the 1945 Track Season. The excellent records of these athletes brought Altoona High to the favorable attention of the public and brought honor to our school. This was accomplished under the able leadership of Coaches Bar- tholomew, Adams, and Dinges. Our hats are off to them. Front Row-H. Rose, J. Fluke, R. Lucas, J. Hay. Second Row -- A. Crozier, P.

Athletic Council Athletics in Altoona Senior High School are supervised by the Athletic Council. This organization not only governs major sports but also plans a well-rounded program of intramural sports. Under the authority of the Board of Directors, the council meets semi-monthly. Each head coach is invited to meetings concerning his particular sport. This council consists of the president and the secretary of the school board, the superintendent of schools, the high school principal, three faculty members, and a student representative. The group makes up and approves schedules, purchases equip- ment, arranges for games, adopts rules, and presents awards. Cheerleaders Hip! Hip! Hurray ! I I .... Three rous- ing cheers for the "Cheerleaders" who gave their untiring efforts at pep meetings, on the football field, and the basketball court. They planned some spectacular features for each game and gave a Well-rounded support which helped to make this an eventful and successful year. Under the supervision of Miss Lauver, the boys did an exceptionally good job. Their all-out support helped our fighting football Lions hit the line hard and carry the pigskin over, for many a touchdown. Their cheers encouraged the hardwood champions to score baskets in a prolonged season. Cheerleaders Front Row-D. Emerik. J. Beach, F. Corrodo, K. Cun- ningham, C. Febbo. Second Row-J. Alexander, C.

' N 'ik Miss Eyre Director of Physical Education for Girls Many activities, which gave a better understanding of cooperation and team- work, were offered to the girls of our High School in our intramural program under the direction of Miss McGinnis. To give each girl an equal opportunity to participate in some sport, a schedule of various athletic activities was carried on in the gymnasium and at Mansion Park Field. The girls were taught hockey rules and regulations and then were shown how to scrimmage. Many girls played and enjoyed this active game and group teams competed with each other. Basketball and volleyball games aroused enthusiasm among the girls. Basketball participants practiced passing, shooting, and team play, after this pre- liminary practice, teams were chosen. Although these teams gave stiff competi- tion to each other, good sportsmanship prevailed. Volleyball, which was played in the gymnasium among classes, proved to be very popular 3 in the tournaments F rolic and un For Ever one held between the teams, about one hun- dred iifty students participated. Badminton and mushball ended the sports season. These games, which at- tracted a great many participants, were full of thrills and excitement. The girls played kickball in the gymnasium on rainy or cold days but on warm sunny days they hiked to Prospect Park and had a much looked-forward-to mushball game. Many other games also afforded fun and competition. The girl who is always "on the go," participating in almost everything that comes along in the way of sports and showing that she is really outstanding, is presented with an award. This award, given on a point basis, is in the form of class numerals, but when a sufficient number of points are won, a chenille "A" is awarded-an emblem worn proudly on the jacket. This year, we are proud to say, more girls competed for their "A's" than at any other time since this program was organized.
