Participation in varsity football required determination combined with individual skills. Triumph through Determination ... Bill Kouvolo found that throwing the javelin required certain skills developed only through long, hard practice. The personal satisfaction and prestige an individual receives in recognition of some worldly triumph can be fully appreciated only if sincere determination and honest effort were necessary factors in reaching this goal. The Harmonists, by maintaining the trend toward self-sufficiency throughout the community, reserved for themselves alone the recognition due for their numerous cultural achievements. Refusing aid from profit-seeking foreigners, the Harmonists were determined to manufacture within the community all the essentials of their livelihood, except the basic raw materials which could not be obtained nearby. The athletes at Ambridge High express these same ideals of determination, and utilize their strongest physical, mental, and emotional efforts in pursuit of personal satisfaction as well as overall triumph. 10
