HIGHWAYS AND BY-WAYS
"Two roads diverged in a Wood, and I-
l took the one less traveled by" ----
Robert Frost 'LSCSFQ
In these modern days when broad ribbons of !,l2lfjliX?,?,x
concrete tempt the motorist to travel only on the main Q5 f li
thcrofares perhaps few would prefer to take the road gilt! xx
"less traveled by." Zgliti,
On the superhighway the traveler will find speed, 'ii 'fits
comfort, safety, and comparative security. On the '.,,
less traveled routes he may encounter detours, dis-
comfort, and even a certain amount of danger. im
The man who favors an easy solution, who de-
sires fob security, who likes "the quick buck", will N ll 5, V
travel the main routes. However, the man who is un- T
afraid to be "diHerent", to tempt fate, to seek oppor- fl 17' Tlfix Q V l
tunity, to serve his fellow man, will find plenty of fjlls,Q,g:1cf.L,z3"
adventure on life's by-ways. Which way will you be , ..,.t

BOARD OF EDUCATION
The nine members of the Board of School
Directors of the city of Altoona have the legal
responsibility for the operation of all city schools,
including our own building.
Besides controlling a 650 employee staff
and almost a two and one-halt million dollar
payroll, these ladies and gentlemen arranged
during the past year for the construction of a
new and modern field house at Mansion Park,
remodeled and re-equipped three home eco-
nomics classrooms, completed the painting and
relighting of the high school building, reduced
the real estate taxkone mill, created a higher
salary schedule for the teachers, and spent ap-
proximately S20,000 for new instructional equip-
ment 'For the high school alone.
Mr. Frank Marsh served his second term as
president of this civic-minded group during the
1955-56 term.

To the Class of 1956 x
Graduation from high school marks a most
significant event in your life. ln the first place it
identifies you as one of a select group because
only slightly more than half the youth of your
age attain this enviable goal. Perhaps the great-
est outcome of this achievement will be the in-
creased opportunity you will have for self-
direction and self-determination. With this
cpportunity will come an increased personal re-
sponsibility for your ideas and your actions. I
sincerely hope that your experiences and lessons
in high school, the guidance of sincere teachers
and the counsel of devoted parents will fortify
you against errors of iudgmentf against conduct
repugnant to good breedingp and against the-
ories and doctrines that are alien to sound
reason, the spirit of America, or the will of God.
'll
THE SUPERINTENDENT
MR. JOSEPH N. MADDOCKS, Principal
MR. EDGAR J. BROOKS, Assistant Principal
PRINCIPAL
Since the fiftieth anniversary of this
building comes on a day when some
believe they should get more and more for
less and less work, it is particularly impera-
tive that our young people learn the dignity
and honor of honest work. For this reason
we still insist that our students be diligent
and dependable in their studies. We be-
lieve that it is important for young people
to have a wholesome attitude toward hard
work.
We hope the members of this class have
acquired an abiding faith in our American
ideals, an appreciation of honest success,
ambition, courage in the face cf difficulties,
and resourcefulness towards the ever-
changing problems of the world of to-
morrow.
May the lessons learned in the Altoona
High School equip you for a future of genu-
ine progress and achievement. Congratu-
lations.
ASSISTANT
PRINCIPAL
Fifty years ago the Altoona youth were
admitted to this building for the first time.
Thereafter a graduating class left on the
final day of each school year to achieve
positions in education, business, the pro-
fessions, and vocational fields.
Each class has found, as the class of '56
too will find, that the day seems to carry
with it a likeness to what has appeared on
this same June day for many years, name-
ly, that each such day is a good day to start
anew.
They have found, as you too will find,
that every yesterday seems but a dream and
each tomorrow is only a vision. However,
a today, well lived, makes every yesterday
ci dream of happiness and every tomorrow
can be a vision of hope. Look well to this
day.

The Sophomores
The sophomore class benefited this year
by a Key Club-sponsored innovation. Prior
to the opening of school the sophomore
boys were given an orientation talk and
then a tour of the building. The following
day the routine was repeated for the sopho-
more girls.
The sophomores lost no time in electing
their class officers for the year. Heading
the list of officers, Dick Carothers was
elected president, while Jim Russ, Patty
Parks, and Michele Walters were elected
vice-president, secretary, and treasurer re-
spectively.
Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lorene
Rhodes, chairman, Miss Edith Shrensky, Mr.
Rcbert lsenberg, Mr. Louis Ernest, Mr. Tim-
othy Roberts, and Mr. Raymond Hoffman,
the sophomores sponsored a dance, "The
Cupid Twirl," on February ll, at the Jewish
Memorial Center, featuring the Continen-
tals, Dee Hunt, and the Velve-tones.

some of the busiest people in school. It is
their job to collect the money for Horseshoe

ing. Another one of their important duties
is to carry on the home room programs dur-
ing the school year.
These representatives are elected by
their fellow students in each home room.

ing, their valuable participation in school
attairs and student financial operations is

Deciding on picture layout and design.
From early October until the end of May,
the Horseshoe staff kept busy composing per-
sonnels, cataloguing and checking pictures, writ-
ing, rewriting, and typing articles for the fifty-
first edition of the yearbook.
The yearbook contains a new arrangement
this year. Each senior picture is comparatively
larger. The candid shots of many familiar school
sights are in the middle of each page with the
senior pictures placed around them in alpha-
betical order.
The staff examined every personnel item
STAFF WORKS FROM OCTOBER TO M
and chose the most interesting activities and per-
sonal interests o'F each student. The staFF harried
every school organization and club until every
detail that could be used was recorded. An
attempt was made to assemble these write-ups,
not only for accuracy but also for pleasant mem-
ories of those "good old school days". The typ-
ists were given a real workout.
The major part of the work was completed
by the end of March. The staff then sat back
and awaited the arrival ofthe books for distribu-
tion on Senior Day.

The Compass
THIS HELPFUL LITTLE BOOKLET lS INDISPENSABLE TO SOPHOMORES
Without the Compass sophomores would
be even more bewildered than they seemed
to be upon entering the high school. The
Compass included such helpful bits of in-
formation as attendance regulations, fac-
ulty lists, required credits, book report read-
ing lists, school facilities, and even a floor
plan for those who had trouble with their
sense of direction.
We give full credit to those staff mem-
bers, who worked faithfully to get the book-
let to the press. Each staff member was re-
sponsible for her own duties, which in-
volved consulting heads of departments
and administrators for the latest specific,
accurate information. Upon the completion
of that task the material was assembled
into page form, then checked, re-checked,
and last of all proofread. The Compass was
then sent to the publisher for printing, and
the work of Miss Mabel K. Bowman, spon-
sor, andthe staff was finished. Each sopho-
l more will be presented with a copy of the
MISS MABEL K. BOWMAN booklet 'FOI' OWU personal USS at The be'

The Band . . .
Regardless of the score Altoona High's
'I09 piece band, led by an outstanding
drum maior and 25 maiorettes, earned the
plaudits of the crowd at all home football
games and was favorably greeted by the
fans when away from home.
In the fall the band traveled to Johns-
town to put on their best performance of
the year before l2,000 people in a show
dedicated to public servants and service
clubs. Later, they visited Penn State Uni-
versity where, with 63 other bands, they
participated in the annual Band Day fes-
tival in a televised program.
The annual Band Concert on April 27
featured a piano solo by Paul Winter ac-
companied by the band playing "Rhap-
sody in Blue." Also a new descriptive
composition titled "North Sea Overture"
was introduced. The remainder of the pro-
gram included solos for saxophone, trum-
pet, and marimba and numerous novelty
numbers.

The Altoona High School Orchestra,
under the direction of Mr. Russel Bohn, and
containing 88 musicians, had one of its
most successful seasons in 1955-56. The
orchestra performed at the Annual Show,
February 17, and the Language Department
play, November 18, helping to make each
a great success.
The orchestra presented its annual con-
cert on March 23, which was enjoyed by
everyone present. The selections included
in the program were: "Schubert Symphony
No. 8" CThe Unfinishedjp "Autumn Leaves",
"Beethoven Contredansesng "Tick Tack Pol-
ka" by Johann Strauss, opus 365, "Three
Seventeenth Century Dutch Tunes" ar-

SUCCESSFUL SEASON WITH ANNUAL CONCERT
ranged by Kindler, "Russian Sailors' Dance"
by Gliere, "Andalucia Suite" by Lecouna,
and "Russian and Ludmilla Overture" by
Glinka. Terry Ward gave a clarinet solo,
the "Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra"
by Artie Shaw. Another soloist of the even-
ing was Jack Rodland, playing an organ
concerto, "The Cuckoo and the Nightin-
gale," by Handel.
The orchestra is one of the finest high
school orchestras in the state because of its
very excellent instrumentalists and because
it has full instrumentation, a condition
which is very unusual to 'find in a high
school orchestra.

SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL AND THE PUBLIC
Science Academy
The Junior Academy of Science opened the
1955-56 year with its first meeting on October
12. The officers of the Academy were: Kirk
Wicker, president, Walter Dickey, vice-president,
Carol Graham, secretary, and Roger Kerlin,
treasurer.
The club participated in the State Science
Fair at Indiana. As one of its field trips the
Academy made a trip to the State Hospital at
Hollidaysburg, January 28. One of the inter-
esting speakers of the year was Dr. Donald
Rockwell, who gave a talk on "New Fields in
Organic Chemistry."
Future Teachers
Headed by Mr. D. Robert lsenberg and pre-
sided over by Morris Krape, the 42 members of
the Future Teachers of America held their meet-
ings monthly. Highlighting FTA activities was
teaching during the elementary school visitation.
Also, the teachers of the future visited Indiana
State Teachers College to get an idea of col-
lege life.
After the Windber game on February 10
and also after the Williamsport game on January
13, the club sponsored basketball dances. The
local chapter also entertained a group of Future
Teachers from Tyrone.
Key Club
"We Build" is the motto of Altoona High's
new Key Club, which was chartered by Key Club
International in April 1955.
The Key Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis
Club of Altoona, is one of the most active clubs
in the school. Its main obiective is to make a
better school. ln the 1955-56 term it has spon-
sored a sophomore visitation day, the Snow Ball,
which benefited the polio fund, busses to away
ball games, and the Crusade for Freedom cam-
paign.

KINDLE A WHOLESOME DESIRE FOR A COLLEGE EDUCATION
"This is a view ofthe campus-"
"And here is a recent catalogue."

College Club
The College Club, under the sponsorship of
Mr. Timothy Roberts, was organized as an edu-
cational club for college-bound students to in-
form them on such things as entrance require-
ments, courses offered, scholarships available,
and degrees conferred. Membership in this club
is limited to senior college preparatory students.
The college preps met bi-monthly during the
year, and at their first meeting elected Kirk
Wicker as president, Carol Axe, vice-president,
and Dorothy Smeal, secretary-treasurer.
The program committee was fortunate in
securing the following speakers: Mrs. Ruby
Crumm, dean of girls, Dr. Hugh Black, dean of
boys, Dr. A. Bruce Denniston, superintendent of
schools, and Dr. Robert Eiche of the Altoona Un-
dergraduate Center. Also included in the pro-
gram were two movies, one on St. John's Col-
lege and another on Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity.
The scholarship committee, whose aim it is
to give deserving students scholarships, was
headed by Mrs. Crumm and Dr. Black with the
following members: Miss Sarah Bell, Mr. Joseph
Maddocks, Mr. Edgar Brooks, and Mr. Harold
Stong. The committee kept a card file of all
available scholarships. Altogether they had
several hundred. The committee also distributed
fcrm letters to the members of the club to be sent
to the director of admissions at a particular col-
lege to facilitate obtaining college catalogues
and bulletins.
The members of the club were given an
opportunity to take the American Council on Edu-
cation Psychological Test, which gave them their
percentile rating for college entrance. The club
was also given information about the dates and
locations where the College Board Entrance Ex-
aminations would be given.

CENTER THE MINDS OF YOUTHFUL DRIVERS ON SAFETY
Car Teens Club
Seventy-five students from the safe driving
class comprised the Car Teens Club. This club,
under the sponsorship of Miss Marie Lauver and
Mr. Archie Umstead, seeks to inform the students
thoroughly on today's auto safety rules and pro-
cedures.
The club and its officers-Dave Clinger,
president, Alfred Gates, vice-president, Barbara
Ellen Pegg, secretary, and John DeArment, treas-
urer--ran a full schedule ofmeetings and social
events during the year. The group gave its en-
tire support to "Safe Driving Day" by putting up
posters and distributing literature. At Christmas
time, the members of the club went on their an-
nual carol sing. The group was well received
and received much praise for their fine wcrk.
At the meetings, which were usually held in
the evenings, there was always some topic of the
hour, such as safety movies, a speaker on safety,
or a panel discussion. ln March, Mr. Clark
McClelland spoke to the club about auto safety.
The meetings usually ended with a social hour
and refreshments.
Varsity "A" Club
Support and participation of the athletic
program were teh key obiectives of the 7'l mem-
bers of Altoona High's Varsity "A" Club, now
in its third year and headed by Dr. Hugh Black,
dean of boys.
The club annually honors letter winners in
award assemblies for all athletic teams. Out-
standing awards during these assemblies in
'I955-56 were made to Curt Plowman, the
Mountain Lion Blanket award, and Paul Porta,
winner of the "Blocker-of-the-Year" trophy.

Business Leaders
Future Business Leaders of America, an hon-
orary club for business education students,
toured the Bell Telephone, the A 81 P offices, and
the banks of Altoona, to get a clear picture of
how prominent business places carry on their
office work. The club also installed Cresson
High School as a new chapter in the state organi-
zation.
The FBLA sponsored an after-game dance
with orchestra music and an after-school dance
with records. The proceeds of the two dances
aided the students in paying their way to the
district meeting in State College and the state
meeting in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Fellowship Club
The Fellowship Club, under the sponsorship
of Miss Sarah Duncan, met two times each month
for the purpose of promoting better religious re-
lations among the students. The otiicers elected
to lead this organization were: Bob Brunner,
president, Connie Wagner, vice-president, Bar-
bara Ellen Pegg, secretary, and Jack Rodland,
pianist.
Each meeting began with a song service and
a Bible reading. This was followed by a special
speaker. Two local pastors, Rev. Craig Massey
ofthe Independent Bible Church, and Rev. Henry
Kulp of the Altoona Bible Church, and several
missionaries spoke to the club.
Flask and Beaker
The Flask and Beaker Club, which had been
inactive for several years, was reorganized this
year under the direction of Mr. Wilbert HoFFman.
Thirty-five students who had taken either
Chemistry A or B and who had a genuine inter-
est in the subject comprised the club roster. Kirk
Wicker was elected president, Herb Stoner, vice-
president, Helen Notopoulos, secretary, and Bill
Mackey, treasurer.
At a joint meeting with the Junior Academy
of Science in January, the group heard a talk
by Dr. Donald Rockwell, entitled "New Fields in
Organic Chemistry."

THEY SERVE PATRONS OF THE SCHOOL AT ALL MAJOR EVENTS
Looks like a mighty good program.
Sponsored by Miss Marie Lauver, the
Ushers' Club plays an important part in
Altoona High School life. Identified by
their maroon and white caps, girls from the
55 member group ushered at all home foot-
ball games. The young ladies served at
the Altoona Choral Society's Christmas pro-
gram, the Language Department play, the
presentation of "Amahl and the Night Vis-
itors," the band and orchestra concerts,
Baccalaureate and Commencement exer-
cises. The group of girls, nominated and
elected by Ushers' Club members, is cap-
tained by Faun Cox and Judy Hileman,
while Connie Adler and Doretta Ruggles
serve as co-captains. Co-captains of one
year automatically become captains the
following year.

N INAUGURAL OF ANNUAL SERIES WITH JOHNSTOWN AND WINDBER RIVALS
Narrowly missing a crack at the coveted
W.P.l.A.L. Class AA title, Altoona High's Moun-
tain Lions reached a new high in performance
this year under the coaching of Earl Strohm in
compiling a 7-3 record including upset victories
over rivals Windber and Johnstown in the in-
augural of the Silver Scoop series.
This, plus the fact that fullback Curt Plow-
man was named to the all-state team, makes
the T955 season one of the best since the hey-
day of "Snaps" Emanuel and "Sonny Boy" Mil-
lOY'l.
Plowman did exactly what his name im-
plies 'From the very first. In the opening rout of
DuBois, 40-6, Curt scored three touchdowns on
runs of eight, 61, and six yards. Bert Stoner,
Lou DeAngelis, and Mike Wherry each tallied
once in one ot the worst defeats pinned on the
Beavers in recent years.
At Mansion Park the following week the
Maroon and White gained an early grip on the
Silver Scoop and took sweet revenge for three
straight previous losses in thumping Windber,
25-7. This time Stoner hit the double figures by
scoring on a twin touchdown effort on sprints of
36 and T2 yards. Terry Ward and Plowman
added insurance markers.
Although Curt Plowman racked up two
touchdowns in the next game on rain-swept
Mansion Park, an epidemic of fumbles, with

last mile after they had shattered Altoona's
title bid, 20-O, at Mansion Park. Apparently ex-
pecting little trouble from the Brown Lions and
gazing too intently on Johnstown, A. H.S. could
muster only one scoring threat in reaching the
Greensburg TO in the second quarter after Ron
Corbett recovered an invader fumble on the 29.
ln the game of the year at Point Stadium
Johnstown saw its ll-game winning streak, a
shot at the league title, and the myth of its in-
vincibility all disappear in 48 minutes. The
Jawns, stunned by the lightning-like thrusts of a
spirited Mountain Lion crew, succumbed 27-21
before the largest crowd of the season for both
schools, 'l5,000.
With the satisfaction of taming an old neme-
sis, the Lions also captured the first annual Sil-
ver Scoop, symbol of supremacy for the season
between the two rivals and Windber.
Plowman signed his own name to the all-
state team that fateful night in Johnstown. He
gained T15 yards in 28 attempts to match the
runs from scrimmage of the entire opposition
and accounted for two scores.

LITTLE LIONS NOSE OUT JAWNS ON LAST MINUTE PASS
Coming from behind in the final minute of
play the Junior Varsity football team nosed out
the Johnstown "B" team, I2-7, as Paul Campbell
flipped a l5-yard pass to Ralph McGirk for the
winning tally. Campbell was the spark plug
for the Little Lions as he returned a kickoff 85
yards for the first touchdown. The Windber "B"
team also felt the sting of the Campbell to
McGirk passing combination with Altoona com-
ing from behind to earn a 7-7 tie.
The Little Lions opened the season by wal-
loping Saxton-Liberty 40-6, and the following
week tied Windber. In their third outing Wil-
liamsport fell before the locals 33-6, and the
Baby Lions also trimmed Bedford, I9-O, in their
next encounter.
Meeting varsity competition for the first
time, the Jayvees were mauled by Robertsdale,
32-7, but roared back to defeat Johnstown. In
the final two games the locals broke even, los-
ing to Northern Cambria, 7-0, but edging Chief
Logan, 7-6.

TAKE OVERTIME TILT FROM TROJANS
Altoona High came very close to being
the bride instead of the bridesmaid during
the 1955-56 varsity basketball season.
Ccach Jim O'Donnell's Lions C21-5D came
from behind to cop the District Six cham-
pionship from Johnstown in a torrid over-
time tilt only to bow out to Farrell, the even-
tual bride, or P.l.A.A. class "A" state cham-
pion.
Notable consolation for being "left at
the altar" came in posting three good vic-
tories in four tries over rival Johnstown.
A.H.S. suffered an early season loss to the
Jawns in the War Memorial Tourney, but

rebounded to take 94-54 and 65-60 regular
season wins and likewise to record a 77-73
victory in the hectic District Six play-off
game. The Lions were beaten by New
Castle, 79-60, in their other tournament
appearance.
Earl Clouser, high scorer for the Lions,
ended his three-year career with -zz berth on
the All-State United Press second team,
while senior team mates Chet White and
Jack Ray made honorable mention.
Clouser broke the A.H.S. standard for
points scored in a single game with 36
against Johnstown. Just a few nights pre-
vious he had counted 34 against Cone-
maugh's Iron Horses.
Altoona met defeat during the regular
campaign at the hands of Westmont, 87-84,
and Conemaugh, 92-89. Both setbacks,
however, were avenged by 72-41 and 80-
53 wins over the Hilltoppers and Iron
Hcrses, respectively, in other games. A.H.S.
also downed Conemaugh in the District
playoFfs, 69-52.
The Lions also spoiled an otherwise per-
fect season for Lewistown's Mountain
League champs by topping the Silktown
Five three times.

Altoona High's Varsity basketball team of
1957 should be one of its best if the record of
16-4 compiled by the 1955-56 Junior Varsity is
to serve as an indication of things to come.
The Little Lions of Coach Guy Denniston
were beaten only by Windber, 45-37, Duquesne,
63-55, Williamsport, 63-44, and Westmont, 51-
46. Ralph McGirk, high Jayvee scorer for the
year, collected 15 points in the last contest.
The season opened on a sour note in the
Windber loss, but the Little Lions ran up two
straight, lost to Duquesne, and then knocked off
11 straight opponents before losing to William-
sport. Victories came at the expense of Kittan-
ning 164-301, Lock Haven C55-281, Chambersburg
H51-293, Punxsutawney C36-241, Johnstown C46-

C38-361, Windber C64-421, Conemaugh K77-411,
Lewistown C68-391, and Chief Logan C77-211.
McGirk gained high man honors fsingle
gamej for the Jayvee crew by scoring 30 points
against Johnstown in a dramatic 46-45 triumph.
Ralph connected with two foul shots in the last
three seconds to decide the issue.
Cheerleaders
PEPSTERS KEEP UP FAN MORALE, SPARK TEAM TO VICTORY
Here's a rousing cheer for the cheer-
leaders of A.H.S.l lt takes a vast amount
of effort to get that big, enthusiastic re-
sponse at pep meetings and football and
basketball games. ln all kinds of weather,
these live wire pepsters kept up the morale
of the fans and players and helped to spark
the team to victory.
Drilling and rehearsing, leading pep
meetings, and greeting visiting cheerlead-
ers were the duties ofthe group. This year
the girls did an exceptionally 'Hne job and
their untiring eftorts were an important
factor in the success of our athletic contests.
This squad, consisting of nine girls, was
chosen on the basis of citizenship, scholar-
ship, and personality factors. Before school
began, the cheerleaders practiced at the in-
tricate routines required for more than
twenty cheers. Miss Dorothy McGregor
worked as the sponsor of this versatile
group, which was a credit to her and the
school.

Climaxing a banner year with a series of
superb individual performances at the P.l.A.A.
state track meet at Penn State University on
May 28, the 1955 cinderpathers of Coach Paul
Adams finished second for the team title to
Clairton High with 19 points to the winners' 25.
Although Western Pennsylvania athletes
dominated the meet, Altoona's Terry Clarke won
the 180-yard low hurdles in 19.8 seconds and
finished third in the 120-yard highs. Junior
Bob Wherry took a second in the half-mile run
OUT IN FRONT
while Senior Bob Crago's iavelin heave earned
him a fourth.
In addition Lion relay runners came in
fourth in the half-mile event and finished third
in a fast mile relay.
Earlier in the year the Adamsmen had fin-
ished second in the Tri-State Coaches meet at
Pittsburgh, swept the field in the West Central
Coaches meet, copped the Pitt Junior College
event at Johnstown, and annexed their 24th
title in District Six P.l.A.A. competition.

Tick Ramey chooses sides with team mate Bob Burchtield.
An elephant, they say, never forgets. In
any case Coach Hugh BIack's A. H. S. Elephants
are not likely to forget Friday, May 13, for a
long time. On that date the local tossers
dropped the second game to the Johnstown nine
giving the Trojans a clean sweep of the series
for the first time in many years.
Aside from this dual setback the Blackmen
did a very commendable job, downing their op-
ponents nine times in 14 outings, sweeping both
games with Windber and Indiana and taking
single encounters from Hollidaysburg, Clearfield,
Mercersburg, and Saxton.
The 1955 season was featured by an 11-8
triumph over Mercersburg and a brilliant one-
hitter hurled by right hander Jess Zorger against
Indiana. At one stage the Elephants racked up
a win streak of five in a row which was ended
by an unexpected loss to Clearfield. After a
one-run defeat by Kiski the Elephants closed out
the year with three more triumphs.

Boys' Intramurals
CHAMP GIVES GUIDANCE TO GRAPPLERS LEARNING GRIPS
Wrestling became another attraction of
the Altoona High intramural sports pro-
gram for l955-56. Mr. Paul Morse and Mr.
Robert Wolfe directed activities in tumbling
and basketball, while Dallas Webb, junior
high science instructor, guided the grap-
pling program.
Three eight-team leagues playing on
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, com-
prised the basketball circuit. Approxi-
mately 300 boys participated. All action
started at 6 o'cIock with a twin bill in the
boys' gym and the same in the girls' gym.
Home room 217 copped the championship.
The cage program, in addition to devel-
oping a sense of team work, alertness, lead-
ership, and sportsmanship, attorded all in-
terested boys an opportunity to be active
in athletics. A.H.S. students who were not
varsity or junior varsity team members
were eligible to play.
Intramural wrestling was introduced at
the expense of over 52,000 to its sponsor,
the Altoona School Board. In hopes of fur-
thering the possibility of a varsity team in
the near future, extensive developing per-
iods and the teaching of basic fundamen-
tals were the nucleus of Mr. Webb's under-
taking. Webb is a former intercollegiate
champion from Penn State.

Girls' Intramurals
FOSTER GOOD FUN AND PROMOTE GENUINE FELLOWSHIP
The Girls' Intramural Club is responsi-
ble for most ofthe shouting, pounding, and
whistle blasts in the girls' gym. Under the
leadership of Miss Frances McGinnis, the
girls learn good sportsmanship and fair
play in badminton, volleyball, basketball,
dodgeboll, and kickball, playing each
game with enthusiasm and skill.
These sports are open to all girls who
are interested in participating in them after
school. The standing of the girls is based
on the point system. Points are received
for each sport, and o specific number of
points is necessary to earn awards. The
points are totaled from the beginning of a
girl's sophomore year to the end of her sen-
ior year. Participation in all contests gives
the team member full credit, while part
time contestants get only one-half the num-
ber of points given for each sport.
These sports do much to stimulate in-
terest and growth in athletic activities, to
aid in physical development, to promote
good fellowship, and to foster genuine
sportsmanship among the girls of this high
school.
