THE ENDING of the 1949 football season meant the ending of the high school playing days for many of the gridders. There will have to be eleven new faces to surplant those that are leaving. To be at practice every day, to give most of your time to football denotes great determination on the part of all of these athletes. Harassed by early season defeats, East Pittsburgh was still able to display the hard fought football that pulled major upsets. The Staff congratulates the football squad and wishes them good luck for next season. ff .. all The Coach Albert Mihalco poses for the photographer with his two student managers Richard Dumi, eighth grade and Edward Keny- herz, Senior head manager. -Qin. - 4 1 Lining up for the Hrst night football game ever played at East Pittsburgh are Martini Mur- ray, Howard Schindler, Robert VVheeler, Charles W'oolard and William Dumi.

HIGH SCHOOL opened the 1949-50 basketball season with one of the toughest schedules ever en- countered. The team is in Section XIX of the W.P.I.A.L. If the team can give a good account of themselves they havea very good chance to be in the running for the section championship. The team will be strong at all positions, losing only three seniors from last year. Eight players will graduate from the varsity squad this year.

During the warmer days of September we played kick- ball outside-but resorted to soccer in the gym- nasium on cooler days. The following month we showed our ability on the mats-doing somer- saults, headstands, etc. Following tumbling, the boys weer invited into our classes for square and social dancing. Some of the students were chosen to demonstrate a few square dances for "Patrons' Night". Then came our favorite sport-basketball. After several weeks of prac- tice, captains were picked in each home room and a round-robin tournament was scheduled. Then came a turn to the finer things in life, and we had modern dancing. This involved rythmic exercises to the beat of the tom-tom, dancing to music, and finally, our own original dance compositions. Following modern danc- ing, the nets were brought out for a program of volleyball and badminton. There was a mixed doubles tournament in badminton to help build up co-recreation in the school. Also along this line, co-recreational plans were made for volleyball-each team consisting of four girls and four boys. During May, as the days became brighter and warmer, we were able to go out- side again to end the year with softball games that provided a lot of excitement and fun. Not to be forgotten in our physical education- al program is our beautiful swimming pool. Q 'ah' Syzcvdh is' 'f The students of East Pittsburgh are fortunate in having a pool as we are one of the few It is hoped that the students will continue their interest in sports and -recreation in the future. , , ,.,,-,.,.a ,.,,, , , a ...-...........Y Aman...
