It worit be a stylish marriage. VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club is open to boys of good character and personality who have achieved the Varsity E in football or basketball. This year's club has twenty-three members. Mr. Puskar, head football and basketball coach, is the faculty sponsor. At the beginning of the year Henry Cocain was elected president with Louis Rose, vice presi- dent, Ronnie Ridenour, secretary, and John Hobson, treasurer. During the football season the members promoted the sale of programs at the home football games. After our victory over Scottdale, the club sponsored a Victory Dance to celebrate the occasion. On February seventeenth, the Varsity Club again held the annual Varsity-Faculty basketball game. This was a thriller all the way with the Varsity winning 41-40. The highlight of the year was the all sports banquet held in the gym on March fifth. The main speaker was Dr. Ned Culler, supervising principal of Connellsville High School. At the banquet Mr. Puskar presented the senior members of the club with their sweaters. These sweaters have been adopted as the standard award for athletic achievement. Ten members will graduate this spring. They Wish to thank Mr. Puskar for the help and guidance he has given themg they also want to wish the Varsity Club much success in the years to come. l 1st Row: G. Lyons, T. McNair, J. Hobson, P.

Attired in a white gown, she carried a bouquet of red carnations. Her attendants also wore white gowns and car- ried blue carnations. After the ceremony the queen and her guests went down into the gymnasium for the Star- Lite Ball where music was furnished by the Polka Dots. 37

Everyone was anxious to go to press and produce the most interesting and memorable yearbook possible. With Miss Pfoutz and Mr. Hough as our sponsors, the staff began the long, grueling process of planning the theme, reading proof, securing ads, conducting a subscription campaign, and check- ing details to meet the approval of our sponsors. Everyone worked diligently and without complaint while our yearbook was being created. The deadline was drawing near. Each little detail was checked for the final time. At last it was completed. p It is impossible to give each individual recognition for his contribution, but the unselfish co-operation of all, without thought or credit, made this book a reality. Our work is finished. We know that our work has not been in vain, because, as a result of it, we have our Mirror -a complete volume of the unforgettable days we spent at East Hunt- ingdon High School. Yes, everyone who worked on the yearbook may breathe a sigh of relief-the work was well done. We hope in future years that it may recall happy memories of associates and activities. 39
