In 1950, the Golden Panthers had a lot of luck, mostly bad. By taking the decision in their final contest, the Bulans finished in the third-place slot of the Lake Shore league, behind Geneva and Conneaut. Both LSL losses were close ones, as the Black and Gold gridders trailed by one touchdown at the final gun in both the Geneva and Conneaut games. On the whole, the season wasn’t a very successful one. Coach Guarnieri’s men chalked up three wins as compared to twice as many losses. Bula failed to bring home a victory in any of the exhibition games. Although the Panthers hail more losses than wins, however, they scored 141 points to 113 for the opponents. The AIIS eleven received more than their share of injuries. They lost Bill LaMarsh, vet center, in the second game, and Mel Ed-wards, senior flanker, in the Erie East fray. A bad leg kept.

Second Row: Donna DcPiero. Esther Anderson. Jean Vacca. g iid queen Reigning over the Ashtabula vs. ('onneaut game Friday, Oct. l.’J, was football queen, Phyllis Herbert. Each senior homeroom nominated a girl and the football squad elected the queen. The other candidates who served as Phyllis’ court were Louise Carlo, Anna Cosimi, Beverly Monda, Norma Orlando, and Peggv Yocom. Hula's 1950-51 sportsmanship and pep were largely due to the six Senate-chosen cheerleaders. Captain Esther Anderson and Janet Church, seniors; and Donna DePiero, Shirley Kangas. Marie Marta, and Jean Vacca, juniors, made up the Varsity squad. The Reserve squad, nominated and elected by the homerooms and Senate, consisted of Pat Johnson, VeKtta Keagle, Sandra Martello, and Peggy Volpone. Black slacks and white sweaters with gold A’s made up the Varsity uniforms, while black slacks, white sweaters, and blouses were the Reserves’ attire for football season. Black anti white saddle shoes were worn bv both squads. During the basketball season, the varsity leaders wore long-sleeved blouses and black jumpers; the reserve squad wore black long-sleeved blouses with gold weskits and skirts. Leading the cheers in assemblies as well as at games, these girls performed such feats as splits, cartwheels, and back-bends in addition to the yells. Karly morning practices were their means of rehearsing old and learning new cheers. Mrs. Gertrude Van Norman served as adviser to the girls. eightei'n
