FALL . The Miracle Worl4er, a demanding play for a high school drama production class, was successfully accom- plished on a single stage setting at one evening and two matinee performances. The bright orange of the Sun- downer sweater was seen for the last time on the Uni- versity High campus as the Senior A's presented the Graduation and Awards Assembly for the upper-classmen. The door to room l84 remained continually open for sign-ups during the Fall semester. First the Sundowners signed up for Graduation portraits for the Chieftain. Next, Warriors placed their names on a sheet of paper which would have to be signed three more times before the election results were final, thus exercising their pre- rogative as registered voters. Then, qualified Senior A's applied for Ephebian screeningg and with ballots printed on mimeograph paper, fellow Sundowners decided who the one-in-forty would be. Later, students wishing to run for Student Body Offices came to room l84 in order to sign the candidate's chart and receive their applica- tion forms. Finally the activity moved toward the Spring semester as Board sign-ups took place in IS4. Classwork gave way several times during the semester in order that Uni's traditional elections could take place. A closely guarded election result was out when the secret envelope was opened and the Girl of the Semester stepped out from among the Girls of the Mcnth at the fashion show entitled Strictly Female. ln their his- tory classes the A-l l's voted for their class name, color, and patchg and the A-ll council selected a committee to choose the new senior sweaters. The boys elected the semi-annual Sports Queen from among the nominees presented on the Graduation Terrace. The Sundowners voted for the one boy and one girl to receive the gold American Legion trophy presented at the Graduation and Awards Assembly. They also elected outstanding indi- viduals for the Senior Poll, revealed for the first time in the Senior Edition of the Warrior. By the close of the Fall semester the Band, Orchestra, and Choir had moved into the new Music Builclingg the Auditorium had new blonde seatsg and the Girls' Gym was in use. These buildings were new additions to Uni, but all the sports activities, the drives, the assemblies, the sign-ups, the elections are established traditions that will continue into the future. The semester came to a close as the underclassmen registered for their Spring classes and received their report cardsg the Sundowners came to the all-important day of graduation: and Uni- versity High School looked forward to a new semester.

VARSITY GRIDDERS TAKE THIRD IN LEAGUE The close of the i962 football season found the Univer- sity varsity football team in third place in Western League standings. Under the inspirational coaching of john Trump and Duane La Rue, the Warriors ended with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses, and a tie, a great improvement over last year's record. Uni gridders were victorious over such teams as Taft, Cleveland, Hollywood, and first-place Fairfax. They also stopped second-place Westchester in a hard fought tie. The Uni line was unusually small in l962, being out weighed as much as forty pounds per man in some games. But despite the weight disadvantage, outstanding individ- ual play by the Uni linemen contributed greatly to this year's success. Another key to success was the fine catching of ends Bob Franklin and Don Peterson, both choices for All League teams. Franklin gathered in ISO yards of passes as well as leading the blocking on tight end. Peterson caught ZOO yards of passes, proving to be one of the best ends in Uni's history. Pete Vassel also assisted as an end, catching a total of 90 yards of passes. Still another vital reason for success was the Warrior backfield. Quarterback Steve Durbin, chosen Western League Player of the Year, as well as given a spot on the All City team, carried the ball for 5 touchdowns during the year. He carried the ball a total of 78 times for BIO yards, and passed 49 completions for 536 yards, the latter being the best record in the league. Also outstanding in defense, Durbin seemed to be all over the field and in on the majority of the tackles of opposing ball carriers. Full- back po-sition was filled by Mike Tozzi, a junior, who was also chosen for the All League teams. Tozzi carried the ball 135 times for a total of 427 yards. He also plunged over the line for four touchdowns during the season. Dan Hoffman and Gary Sherwin shared halfback position, and both proved good ball handlers as well as excellent defen- sive backs. The last key to Warrior success was team defense. Be- cause this team did not score heavily, the team defense took on great importance. Defensive tactics were tailored for each opposing team by Head Coach Trump. Outstand- ing members of the defensive team were right guard, Steve Giacomig left corner, Manuel Talamentezg right tackle, George Seminoffg left back, Chuck Evans, and left end, Dave Lyday.
