The loss of his M- W- DP-UBHNSPECK judgment, counsel, and l879f195l leadership in the conduct of school affairs cannot be measured or expressed in words. However, we hope this dedication, which is a record of gratitude, will carry his achievements to others who will also serve the community in as noble a manner as did Mr. Daubenspeck. ENTER T0 LEARN - GO FORTH TG SERVE FOREXNORD , Because of the color and gaiety of the days when the rattan switch and the pointed dunce cap were standards of education, the staff of the '51 ANNUAL has sought to recapture in this yearbook a fragment of that time. As you leaf through the pages of this book, imagine yourself in the days when the gorgeous Lillian Russel and Diamond jim Brady were headliners in VARIETY, and john L. Sullivan was the national boxing idol. Remember, too, the hit tunes of the eraf- When 'You Were Sweet Sixteen, HA Bicycle Built for Two, and Shine on Harvest Moon, But first things first. Remember the old swimming hole, and the hrst plunge into the icy water in springtime. Remember the little schoolhouse where old lady Pinneyu inducted you into the hickory stick method of learning the verb to be?

Dr. Charles C. Wepsic, our new superintendent, formerly of Brookfield, Ohio, was not a newcomer to the Pittsburgh area. Formerly, he taught at New Kensington and Shade Township High Schools, plus several summer sessions at the University of Pitts' burgh. Dr. Wepsic proved to be both a companion to the high school students and capable director of grade school activities. Interviewing teachers, supporting the Parent Teacher's Association, and making reports to the school agenda, Dr. Wepsic found himself involved in several social organizations. The Doctof torial Association of Educators, Phi Delta Kappa Can honorary educational fraternityl, the American Association of School Administrators, and the Pennsylvania Association of School Directors and Superintendents, held most of his interests. He is also a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church of Avalon. Many a lost or bewildered student was shown the right road through Dr. Wepsic's guidance or past experience with former students. He aided social organizations within the school, along with bolstering the morale of the football and basketball teams. Innovations in the school curriculum were introduced by Dr. Wepsic early in September. These new rules, accepted both by students and faculty, kept the school running smoothly and orderly during the entire year. The class of 1951 will always be grateful to Dr. Wepsic for his fine leadership and understanding. The interesting new guidance program, which was conducted by Mr. John R. Edwards, our new principal, was well liked and remembered by all students of junior and senior high school. Mr. Edwards, who also comes to Avalon this year from Brookfield, Ohio, attended Kent State University in Ohio, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in education, and Ohio University where he received his Master's Degree in Pschyology. Administrators set a new goal Left to 1ightfMr. Edwards, Dr. Wepsic Aside from conducting the weekly guidance program, Mr. Edwards conferred with senior high students concerning their future plans of careers or college educations. In every assembly, Mr. Edwards could be found issuing new instructions as well as rejoicing with the School's victorious teams. His outside activities took up much of his time. Belonging to the American Legion, Principals Associaf tion of Allegheny County, Vocational Guidance Association, and the Pennsylvania Association of Secondary Schools, consumed much of his time. Mr. Edwards was never too busy to help a teacher or explain rules to a student. Class officers could often be found in his office discussing their latest problems, and receiving Mr. Edwards' honest advice. To both Mr. Edwards and Dr. Wepsic, the class of 1951 owes gratitude for the fine work they have done to make Avalon a better school for coming classes. Without their interest, the school year would not have progressed as well as it did. Board of Education 'CRULERSN OF OUR SCHOOL C. D. GRAY President HENRY L. BETCHER W. J. ROBINSON A. A. THOMSON VicefPresident Treasurer R. L, STHVENSON Dr. R. E. SMITH DR. T. EWING THOMPSON Disregarding the hickory switch, our modest schoolhouse boasts of a different: sort of Board of Education. Led by the forefsighted President, Mr. C. D. Gray, the Board made sure that every phase of school management was up to the par synf onymus with Avalon. Mr. Gray was capably assisted by Mr. H. L. Betcher, VicefPresident, and Mr. W. J. Robinson, Treasurer, the remainder of the board consisted of Mr. Thomson, Dr. Smith, Mr. Steven' son, and Dr. Thompson. The Board rose to every demand placed upon their capacity by the changes made necessary by a new administrator. First of all, the Board showed good 12 planning in choosing a man for the important office of Superintendent. After conducting exhaustive interviews with many hopefuls, and carefully weighing every applicants' good points, they chose Dr. Charles C. Wepsic, who met with the approval of all conf cerned. As principal, the Board selected Mr. John R. Edwards, a man with a great variety of experience in many fields, from sports to dramatics. A vote of confidence by the students, faculty, and towns people is due this year's Board of Education, who have done everything in their power to set up higher on the list, our school's academic and cultural standards.

A very inexpensive trip around the world was enjoyed by Miss Irene Austen's geography classes. Wide eyes followed her as she told of far off and wondrous countries. Miss Austen also gave the students a background knowledge of Pennsylvania History. Miss Stella L. Carden, with her friendly and lovable manner, guided senior high English classes through a very pleasant year. Her readings of inspiring poems and Shakespearean plays entranced the pupils. The spark of our basketball team could not have been one boy, for the unexcelled coaching of Harry A. Dennison put a flame of energy into every one of the players. Gym and hygiene classes added extra credit to Mr. Dennison's fine record. The businessflike man about school was Edgar K. Gardner who handled AfTicket with efficiency and ease. The courses he taught were sales, commercial mathematics, business law, oiiice practice, and typing. Dudley W. G.

Miss Hoover's junior classes enjoyed informative sessions in public speaking, and she led the Travalonette through a highly benef ficial year. Miss Margaret E. Hummel, aside from rendering friendly guidance in girls' gym classes, taught hygiene, sponsored the Girls' Athletic Association, cheer' leaders and majorettes. The success of these clubs was solely accredited to Miss Hummel. The increasing membership of the Future Homef makers of America showed the popularity of its sponsor, Miss Marion T. jones.

The student wolves were all disheartened when they spied her lovely engage' ment ring and later on in the year she was married. The subjects of general science and biology were capahly taught by Fred B. McCormick. Mr. lv1cCormick also was adviser to the boys who had charge of the visual education equipment, and he correctly instructed them how to operate the machine. Mrs. Beatrice F. Ivlouganis, who taught junior high English and history, devoted an endless amount of time to the sponsorship of the junior cheerleader and the Dramatic Club. Her most extensive project was the direction of the senior class play. DR. R. H. MCCORMICK M.D.. University of Pittsburgh School Doctor Doizoruv W. WALK A.B..

Mr. O'Rourke, also our HifY sponsor, who formerly taught at St. Mary's on the Mount, was heartily welcomed by the students and fellow faculty members. The football coach of the year, to Avalonites, was David L. Parker, who proudly paraded his team as O. V. C. winners at the end ofthe season. Mr. Parker proved to be an excellent teacher of physics and chemistry. Miss Lois B. Pontius, school librarian, was always eager to help a student find material in our library, and she conducted classes in how to utilize the reference room correctly. She also acted as cofsponsor of the student council. Arithmetic that puzzled the junior high students was clearly explained and demonstrated by Miss Ida M. Price. She wisely advised the Junior High Student Council in any decisions they had to make. Few art teachers can boast as many rapidly develop' ing artists as can Mrs. Pearl W. Roedell. Her room was always a bright spectacle, with numerous projects encircling the walls. Diligence and preparedness were the keynotes to Howard E. Ryser's success in teaching band and chorus. He gave up many of his free hours to enable our amateur musicians in putting on their respective programs during the year. Mrs. Dorothy W. Walk kept a busy pace this year with her classes in English, Latin and history. In addition to her classwork, Mrs. Walk sponsored the Tvavalon and led the members through a year of literary accomplishments. joseph J. Wertacnik showed skill in teaching of higher mathematics. Students always considered Mr. Wertacnik a swell sport and his coaching of the junior high team was, to him, a pleasant task. Constantly at her job of managing the office, Miss Margaret E. Miller proved to be an essential of the school staff. She helped the oiiice practice girls with any unfamiliar problems which confronted them. Many an ache and pain were carefully looked into by Dr. Richard H. McCormick, the schoolis visiting physician. His jovial manner and clever witticism made him popular with every student. The vacancy left by Dorothy W. Whipple, school nurse, was capably filled by Mrs. Mary T. Davis. Not only was Mrs. Davis an asset to her profession, but also to the Avalon school system.

RINGS THE BELL IN LEADERSHIP It has been said that a government run by women would be very inefiicient, but the high school student council, composed of all girl representatives except Paul Thompson, proved this theory to be false. Presided over by prexy Margaret Moellenbrock, Mildred Schlarman, secretary, Brenda Kaiser, treasurer, and Carolyn Kelley, vicefpresident. Sponf sored by librarian, Miss Lois Pontius, the council this year carried out many successful projects for our little red schoolhouse. This year, the council inaugurated Avalon's first homecoming celebration, which featured Margaret Moellenbrock as queen. Being progressive, they initiated our school into the National Honor Society, held numerous informal dances, made up the school hand book, sold candy at basketball games, and planned a schedule of assemblies. To the student council, as in past years, fell the task of planning and executing 20 the important May Day Pageant. The council showed unexcelled capability in everyf thing they undertook. They were truly the leaders of the school and their fine job is evident in the projects which they successfully initiated and completed. The junior high student council, under the direction of Miss Price, regulated the affairs of the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, and discussed suggestions brought up by the students. Leading the council was Eileen McSorley, and Norbert Mziier as vicefpresident, Lynne Caddick keeping the notes, and Patricia Newell serving as treasurer, were her capable staff. The officers were representatives from the freshman class, Travalonette, Drama, and Home Economics Clubs respectively. The junior high pupils proved, on council election day, that they knew who were their leaders and they trustingly chose them as their representatives in the junior governing body. Mfgiil' Lois B.

JOHN R.' EDWARDS Cofsponsor Qutstcmding Seniors Crowds poured into the little red school house on May 31 to behold the Class of 1951 who were about to receive their well earned diplomas in recognition for twelve years of physical and mental development. As speeches were being made, each mind began to reminiscence about the outstanding events of the past three years of senior high. As timid sophomores, the class had learned the rules and regulations and then settled down for a year packed full of activities. The climax of this eventful year was the Davey jones' Locker Party. More confident, the class entered their junior year with plans for their highly successful prom held at the Shannopin Country Club. Dramatic ability of the class was proven by their play Mother Is A Freshman which was long remembered by all class members. All too soon the seniors found the last of their school years unfolding before them. First came football, followed by basketball and the class play entitled njunior Miss. As the strains of Pomp and Circumstance sounded, the members of the Class of 1951 left the portals of Avalon High School and stepped forward into the future as better citizens, backed by the motto, Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve.

Arnette KW The Tmfualon Doixorx-iv WALK Adviser Loitering students, an air of excitement and mystery, chattering girls, and enthusiastic boys-this was a familiar occurrence the last Friday of each month -the reason-the Tmvalons were distributed. With the aid of Mrs. Dorothy Walk, sponsor, Editor Margaret Moellenbrock, and News Editor Alice Stehman, the literary staff published an ex' ceptionally fine school paper. Interesting editorials and news concerning all social functions of the school appeared on the front page. The alert reporters who compiled the current news were: Peggie Peters, jane Clark, Judy Cumming, Angelo Collura, Jane Carter, Sallie Lawton, Grace Pauley, Mercedes Palmer, Jane Betcher, Janaline Nicklas, Dorothy McBride, Virginia Carroll, Cynthia Harvey, Leo Bergert, Barbara MacGregor, and joe Miller. All articles were accurately written and presented to proof readers before the typing was begun. Feature articles and the exchange columns were cleverly written under the supervision of Larry Gray, Feature Editor. The sports page held the girl's interest as well as the boy's. Exciting refcreations of football and basketball games were written by the Sports Editor, Valdy Sandberg, assisted by joe Miller and Leo Bergert. Also, an innovation to the sport's page was the eyeecatching column We Look At The Opposition, in which was recorded the wins and losses of rival schools. At first the disappearance of the gossip column, Spilt Ink was missed by all the students, but because of its absence, The Tvavalon won the coveted award of the state, the first in quite a few years. The tireless typists, who worked overtime on deadline days, were Marie Mura, Peggie Peters, Carolynne Brink, Eileen Zdinak, and Ethel Bowman. This thankless job was the last performed before the copy was sent to press. After a day or two of rest, Eleanor Burt, Makefup Editor, began her job of arranging the dummy. When the paper returned from the printers in Hnal printed form, Nancy Carroll, Circulation Manager, and her assistant Diane Mawhinney began their duty of distributing the papers to the eager students and teachers who bought subscriptions, and mailing copies to outfoffschool patrons. Grade School Scoops, a resume of activities in the first through sixth grades, under the direction of Nancy Gray, was an added attraction to all readers. Written solely by grade school students, it created great interest for future Tvavalon reporters in the lower grades. The work of janet Haley, Business Manager, was carried out with all the efficiency that a news publica- tion demands. She and her assistant, Paul Arnette, were responsible for all advertisements sold to local merchants, as well as all publicity for the sale of Tmvalons. The financial stability of the Travalon this year was evidence of their fine work. As a special money making scheme, the typists mimeographed and folded hundreds of programs for each home football game. Salesmen were posted at both gates to sell them to all patrons for small charge. The programs contained linefups of both schools. For the first time, Tmvalon members and their dates were entertained at a social event in Avalon Park. A camp fire, familiar songs, freshly roasted hotdogs, and marshmallows, made this weiner roast one of the outstanding events of the school year. The Tmvalon stalf closed the door on 195O'51's experiences, certain that they had produced some of the finest editions ever to go on file in the little red school house. 1... nf V-Mtn Q , 5 3f N09G X, .

The students were chosen as members of this national organization because of outstanding literary work on either Travalon or the Annual. Under the role of Annual editor, Judy Cumming had one of the most difficult and responsible jobs in the high school. She also wrote for the Travalon, and she did an excellent job on both publications. Humor and a highly developed vocabulary gave Dick Wood top billing among fellow writers. He lent his talent to both the Annual and the Travalon. M,-W' rx I .

Milton Gaster, business manager of the Annual, held the diflicult job of supervising the sales and makefup of the advertising part of the yearbook.

Stage Grew The pupils of the little red school house always swelled with pride when topics of conversation turned to the many productions in our newly painted audif torium. These artful plays could not have been possible without the aid of the stage crew, sponsored by Mr. Harris, who saw that every performance Went to completion with the necessary props. They mastered with utmost efficiency, the intricate mechf anisms which many think have no complications. These boys gave freely of their own time, among numerous other duties, to set up the stage for the class plays, to set the scene for the band concerts, to pull the curtain and work the lights at every assembly and at P. T. A. programs. Head of the crew was the capable, unassuming, Ed Hood, who kept the boys in line, and who saw that each production was up to standard. The crew itself consisted of Paul McBride, Ray Sorg, Glen Brittain, Dave Nusz, John Potts, and Dave Montgomery. Costumes, furniture, and all stage property were evidence that the property girls, Nancy Carroll and Mildred Schlarman, provided these necessities for every performance. To these efficient and very necessary assistants of our thespian programs go many laurels for a ine job.

When speaking of the Class of '51, the conversation would hardly be complete without a synopsis of the class in their most outstanding activity, that of the dramatic arts. The class produced two plays to their credit, the junior play, 'sMother ls A Freshman, and the senior play, Junior Miss. The plot of the former centered around campus life as found at Pointer College. Featured were Margaret Ritter as Abigail, Carolyn Kelley, as Susan, and John Caldwell as the Dean. The cofeds were played by Alice Stehman, Judy Cumming, Mildred Schlarman, Nancy Carroll, Joan Heine, and Peggie Peters. Their housefmother was Carole Long. The Joe Colleges were headed by Richard Domville, supported by Thomas Paff, Milton Gaster, and Angelo Collura, and the male lead was Richard Wood as the Professor. The senior play, Junior Miss, starring Carolyn Kelley, was the study of one teenfage girl's reaction toward life. Harry and Grace, her happily married parents , were run ragged by their daughters Lois and Judy who are blossoming into maturity, and by Harry's boss J. B. Curtis. Fuffy, Judy's friend, solves Judy's 50 problem of datelessness by providing Haskell Cum' mings, a pal of Fuffy's brother Barlow. Long lost Willis, Grace's brother, one day walks into the Grave's household and marries J. B.'s daughter, Ellen, in an affair provoked by Judy. Lois' numerous boyffriends, Merril, Sterling, Albert, Tommy, Charles, and Henry are victims of a wrathful father, while Joe, Paul Gilliland and a Western Union boy, Angelo Collura, are lost in the shufile of confusion. Janet Haley and Eleanor Burt were featured as the Grace and Lois, respectively, with Paul McBride as J. B., Margaret Ritter as Ellen, and Gerald Wolfram as Willis. The part Fluffy was portrayed by Joan Heine, and Thomas Paff played Barlow, her brother, Judy's hearthrob, Haskell, was portrayed by John Caldwell, and Lois' boyffriends were Charles Caye, David Nusz, George Neale, Homer Greene, Bill Meiser and Milton Gaster. Barbara Rogers played Hilda, the maid, and Richard Wood had the role of the hither. lt will be many a year, stated the seniors, before the old schoolhouse echoes the laughter and applause given these plays, and the majority of the spectators heartily agreed. 9.4 ,Qs Angel, come into my arms!!

Being composed of the outstanding voices of senior high, meant leisure time was usually not available to its members. They were in constant demand from September to June at both school activities and community functions. To start the year, Eugene Sullivan was elected president for 1950551 and Judy Cumming, vice- president, while Janet Haley played the dual role of secretaryftreasurer, and Paul Thompson represented this melodious group at Student Council meetings. Who could ever forget the Snow Mound Christmas Concert presented in December or the equally delightful Spring Concert in April. It took many a Monday night practice and daily rehearsal in order to render such favorite songs. The Avalon ParentfTeachers Association, Lions Club, and numerous other organizations and churches, were fortunate enough to have as their guests this group of wellfblended voices. And, so, another record goes on file in the little red schoolhouse which proves that the 195051 chorus was slated for success. N if .es Q Qbesreessoe 4 iw sts Q Q L9 ,Q . 6 ....

Four junior class members were the only holdfovers from last year's octette. These were soloists Alice Hay and Eugene Sullivan, along with Bob Beran and Valdimar Sandberg. Twelve new members had to be chosen in September, and of these twelve, there were seven juniors, one senior, three sophomores, and one freshman. Supplying the melody were jane Carter, Alice Hay, jean Reel, and Janalene Nicklas, the four sopranos. Doing ably well on their more diflicult role were the four altos, Nancy Newlin, Margie Rupert, Sally Fisher, and Joan Heine. The harmonious tenors were Bob Beran, Richard Haring, Paul Thompson, and Don Sullivan, and last but not least, the bass section, filled by such capable singers as Eugene Sullivan, Valdimar Sandberg, Dave Humphrey, and Joseph Miller.

This popular group was asked to perform at the G.A.A. Carnival in November, as part of the floor' show. They came dressed in clothes typical of a farmer Qdungarees, plaid shirts, straw hatsj and gave their arrangement of Country Style, which will never be forgotten by any member of the listening audience.

You dn't need a crystal set when the dashing high stepping blue and gold band struck up a song in their own matchless style. Playing to the swinging baton of talented Mr. Ryser, the hand labored long hours in practice to perfect the marches and popular tunes that typilied their stellar performances. When Avalon's gridders had made their exit from the Held at half time, the band would keep the interest J of the spectators with eye catching routines. High B , ' stepping majorettes led the way up the field flashing ' 2 chrome batons. Immediately following came the perfect ranks of blue and gold uniforms.

Other more complicated formations were the football which was pumped up by the majorettes, as the band members expanded the ball, the zipper, the oil well, the cake, and the keystone for Pennsylf vania Week. The music played by the band was inspiringly played, and triumphant in matching our winning teams. Yes, the band was hard pressed for their services in Avalon, for whether they led a football parade, or rendered service at one of the class plays, it was always felt that they played to the utmost of their ability. Maiiy visitors and friends of our little school house have commented favorably about our band, which without Mr. Ryser's helpful tutoring, would not have been a success. So throw away your ear trumpet, Grandma, and let them strike up the Band. Batons flying high in the air, white boots raised in perfect strutfthese factors distinguished Avalon's majorettes, as seven shapely girls led the band onto the field before every football game. Howard E. Ryser had no qualms about sponsoring our peppy majorettes and the band was proud to march behind them. Petite Jeannie Reel led them, she being a representaf tive of the junior class and a veteran from last year. Aiding her in the twirling were Eleanor Burt, the only senior, Alice Ann Nash, Shirley Brendle, Ann Somerhalder, Nancy Cray, and Mary Lou Connolly, all juniors. The latter three marched in the ranks for the Hrst time this year. The girls made a bright spectacle at the half time of every game and their clever routines, made up by the girls themselves, plus their snappy white uniforms with gold and blue brought loud applause from the bleachers. As majorette mascot, little Beverly Burke added to the appearance of the high steppers and she learned the routines and the steps with utmost ease. Even though the majorettes did not sponsor any activity this year, taking a well deserved rest after having raised money to pay for their uniforms, they remained in the limelight. The majorettes performed several times in assembly and their talent was always in demand for parades. Football victories were not complete unless they strutted up the avenue. The majorettes were definitely a part of the games and a pleasant compliment to the school program. MHICKCRY STICKS BECOME BATCNS ajorettes First row, left to right: B. Burke, 1. Reel. Second row: S.

CHEERLEADERS Always cheering the team on to victory in fair weather or foul, adding color and spirit to the football and basketball games, the cheerleaders were an inspiring asset to Avalon. Led by Margaret Moellenf hrock, the cheerleaders, judy Cumming, joan Heine, .lane Betcher, janalene Nicklas, Jane Carter, and Eileen Zdinak showed originality and talent in their assembly programs and at the football celebration for our O. V. C. champs. New cheers were popular with the students and their bright new blue and white uniforms, setting a standard for Avalon's cheerleaders, also evoked complimentary remarks. Although Joan Heine and jane Carter were newf comers to the group, they were well instructed by last year's capable staff and with them they worked diligently through the entire summer. The hard but pleasant work done by the cheerleaders proved well worth the time for they played an important role in Avalon's sports schedule this year. All hands up for a victorious team.

Under the capable leadership of Carole Long, Margie Ritter, and Sally Lawton, single tickets along with season tickets for each sport were sold. Mr. Gardner was the willing sponsor of the organization and his leadership proved to be the best. It was no easy task to keep track of all the money spent by the spectators at our football and basketball games, but the committee was always willing to put forth their time and effort to make the athletic program a success. Much credit should be given to all who served on A ticket this year for they are the ones who made it possible for Avalon to make profits on football and basketball games. But, even more important, A ticket members are morale builders and they have performed an excellent job in making the morale of our school and town tangible in its support of our teams. h zk . is ,. if i ,1 1 ' . .7 5 21' ' X ' W Lats '31 w lf z . - 5.9211-r'i3 -, 1...s .. is' 5,3 5' .

At these dinner meetings they decided on club functions and combined HifY programs. Among these included were swim' ming parties, guest speakers and HifY basketball games.

O The little boys who once wore knickers and short pants are wearing, in their place, high school football togs. Playing under the experienced coaching staff of Mr. Parker, and his two assistants, Mr. Dennison, and Mr. Wertaciuik, the football team went undefeated through eight contestsfthe only undefeated football season in the history of Avalon High School. The little Panthers began their winning streak by shellacking Neville, the Islanders, 2OfO. On the first play from scrimmage, Bruce McGinnis took the ball off tackle and scooted down the sidefline for seventyflive yards for a touchdown. The next score was registered by Tom Paff. Don Tobin took the extra point in the end zone to make the score 13fO. Once again in the third quarter McGinnis took the ball for thirtyffive yards and another score. Dave Nusz's conversion was good. The only mar, if any, in the Panther's football season was the Trafford game which was a bruising battle for yardage with neither team scoring. .. v A ' ' 'Km alms 'fills -rw -5' . ,,. I N Km irc' KEPT AFTER SCHOOL PCR PRACTICE Next, Avalon traveled to Millvale. The blue and gold eleven found Ivlillvale quite easy, as they coasted to their second victory to the tune of 19fO. In this contest Ronnie Miiyer, Don Tobin, and Dick Domville were credited with touchdowns. Mayer also scored the extra point. Then came the Bellevue game with the most inspired group of Avalon Panthers as ever were seen on a gridiron. The first three quarters resulted in a scoreless tie, but in the fourth quarter, Avalon came through when Bob Beran caught a pass from Nusz on the four yard line, and went on to score. A Nusz to Mayer pass was good for the extra point. Iviinutes later, Don Tobin intercepted a pass, and on the next play, IvIcGinnis broke away for the last tally of the game. The Panthers followed this victory by defeating Avonworth. The highly tutored Panther eleven, in the first half couldn't hold on to the pigskin. It was all Avonworth, and they led at halftime, '7f2. In the second half, the team looked like a different ball club, sparked by the running and passing of Dick Domville, who jaunted 50 and 65 yards respectively for pay dirt in the third period. The final score came when lvIcGinnis plunged 3 yards into the end zone, for a 20113 victory in fxvor of the inspired Panthers. Avalon's next contest was with Leetsdale. The high riding Avalonites took this game in stride as our boys fought to a 19f6 victory over the Spartans. Dave Nusz's two touchdowns and Bruce McGinnis' seven points made the total score. The Little Red School House boys then traveled to Sewickley for their worst game of the season, as they edged the Sewickley Indians 7f6. On the second play of the game, McGinnis scored the lone tally of the afternoon. The attempt for the all important point was good as McGinnis split the uprights. The last game of this memorable season was with Robinson Township. In the first quarter, Dave Nusz crossed the goal for an early tally. In the second half Don Tobin intercepted a pass which he attempted to block, and ran 55 yards for a second score. The third quarter found lvIcGinnis darting across the goal for the linal six pointer of the season. McGinnis' pass was complete to Mayer. Robinson, as all others did, yielded to the unquenchable blue and gold Panther. Thus ended the first undefeated season in the history of the school. First row, left to right: E. Hood B. McGinnis A.

After completing an undefeated gridiron campaign, the boys from The Little Red School House decided to switch their talents to basketball. Coach Harry Dennison had Nusz, Tobin, and Mayer back from last year's quintet on which to build his starting team. Domville and IvIcGinnis finished the starting five, and Williams, Toward, Sullivan, Frenz., Paif, Beran, and Sipe also were willing substitutes. With this handful of boys, Coach Dennison brought glory to A. H. S. by flashing through Section 13, which was one of the strongest again this year, in formidable fashion. The Panthers began their season by traveling to Mt. Lebanon only to have history repeat itself, as they bowed to the Mouiiters as they did last season. The Avalonites then went through the rest of the season heroically, taking every game as they came, losing only to Beaver, a strong Class A school, twice. The twin victories over Bellevue, Avonworth, and the rest of the Section 13 quintets were taken in stride, as they ran their league victories to 30 straight, a streak which extended over three seasons. Loyal Avalon citizens' thoughts now rose not only to the W.P.I.A.L. but to the State finals. To give a certain player the credit for the team's success would be unjust, for every boy was an asset to the team. They all played their part in the team's great campaign, and played it well. Experience played a very important part in the great 19504951 season, and Mr. Dennison will have a majority of boys with experience next year, for another great season. The W.P.I.A.L. playoffs were played on the Dormont floor as they were last year. In the first round of play, Avalon drew a bye. In the quarterf finals, Avalon played Wampum, and defeated them 63f52g the next victory was over Verona 42f37, in the semiffinals. The W.P.I.A.L. Hnal was played at Pitt Stadium, with the same Irwin team who dropped us from the ranks of the unbeaten last year. The story was different this year, however, for we dropped them and became W.P.I.A.L. Class B champs for the third time. From this game till the last, we were known as the L'Spoilers. Undefeated Cresson was next to feel the Panther's claws at the stadium. In the Western Regional Preliminary game, the Basketeers shattered Cressonls 22 game winning streak by whipping the Indians 5944. Again the Spoilers, went on the rampage at Farrell in the Western Regional finals, they dropped Mercer from the ranks 69 Basketball of the unbeaten by suspending their 25 game winning streak 51f42. The Class B State Championship game was played at Pitt Stadium. Avalon, the hoist of the W.P.l.A.L. was matched against Kutztown, defending State champ. During the three periods, the Panthers exhibited their wellfknown form and poise and dis' played their highlyftutored craftsmanship reflecting Mr. Dennison's able coaching. But in the final period, the Easterners came back fighting hard and caused the score to be tied several times. Then, as always, the ball bounced the wrong way and time ran out only to find the blue and gold quintet on the short end by three meager points, 51'48. This Avalon basketball team of 1951 was one of the greatest teams in the history of Avalon High School. It was the only team to reach the State finals. The football and basketball teams of 1951 leave records that can really be Nchalked up on the blackboards of our Little Red Schoolhouse, they will long be remembered for going all the way!

McGinnis -6 Girls Basketball MAKES THE GRADE The beginning of the new year in the little red school house found all the girls from the freshmen to the seniors hustling down to the gym after school in the afternoon. The reason, of course, was the start of a new basketball season which everyone welcomed. The freshmen were taught the different rules and plays at practice games while the sophs, juniors and seniors were busy brushing up on new and different sneaky plays. Miss Hummel worked on a new project this year of teaching her classes the guard zone defense. This system worked quite well and proved to be a great help to all teams that used it. While the guards were kept busy, the forwards were by no means idle. They also were trying new and different shooting techniques. Color teams were selected from the girls who came out for afterfschool basketball. The teams selected a captain and a team name. The schedule for the color teams was set and it was decided that the games would take place Wednesday evenings. Each game proved to be an evenly divided match and it was often un- predictable just what team would come out on top. When the last of these games had been played, the class teams were selected by the class managers and Miss Hummel. This job was not easy because of the small number of players on a team and the large number of exceptionally good players in the school. However, the teams were posted and the competitive games began. The sophomores, headed by Char Stringert, gave the juniors and the seniors their toughest battle. Captain Joan Heine led the seniors to first place and the juniors came out second. Each wellfplayed game in these contests showed that the girls had come a long way, both in athletic ability and in good sportsmanship. Make this layfup, joan Left to right: Clark, C. Davis, A.

SHIRLEY SPRAGUE The Girls Athletic Association of 19504951 chalked up another successful year on the blackboard. The first activity that was marked on the board took place during each home football game. The familiar G.A.A. girls sold redfhot hotfdogs, candy, and hot coffee to the shivering spectators. While the girls were busy ordering weiners and buns for the football games, they were also preparing for their yearly bake sale. The money that was received was set aside to buy equipment for gym classes and after school sports. Millie Schlarman, president, was constantly on the move to start a new project and find interesting topics to discuss at meetings. Millie and Miss Hummel, sponsor, worked together to plan the calendar for the school term. Miss Hummel always assisted in all the activities and directed the girls in sportsmanship and leadership. When Millie was absent, Joan Heine, vicefpresident, very capably took charge. Alice Hay took the roll and kept the minutes while Shirley Sprague kept an accurate financial record. October and November were two busy iinancial months for the G.A.A. They played hockey at Leetsdale and defeated their opponents by a 2f0 score, went to the Pitt Stadium to witness the PittfMiami football game, and had a carnival. The carnival entitled Country Fair was held the day before Thanksgiving in the gym. Entertainment, fun, 72 prizes, dancing, and refreshments were provided for everyone. During December the girls played many basketball games with different local schools and continued these games in january. G.A.A. proved to be the victor in all the games. During the second semester, the club went bowling, swimming, and had their traditional alumnae night. Recreation and entertainment were offered and a refreshing snack ended a delightful evening. Tryouts for new members were held in March. Seven senior girls were graduating and their places had to be taken over by the underclassmen. Girls who were interested in becoming members of the club signed up and attended sessions where they were taught rules and regulations of all sports. A test for skills and a written test was given and the girls with the highest scores were accepted at the installation service on May 22. The new members were in charge of the last event of the year which was a picnic held at North Park. They had complete charge of the food department and showed their initiative by managing the cleanfup committee. As the seniors received their G.A.A. pins at the end of the term, they looked at the G.A.A. blackboard of activities and knew that it would be quite some time before these things would be forgotten or erased at A.H.S. 4 .M 'Mfrs 1 -1: f-' QL fi .P ,X X u ..:fSfaiS 1 H ockey The thinkers - Left to right: C.

Back to school meant back to hockey for the sports' minded girls of Avalon High School. The first gym class was held in the locker room where the different rules, penalties, and regulations were discussed. The first few gym periods, held outside, were used to practice hitting, dribbling, bullying, and stopping. After the practicing the girls donned their shin guards and goalie guards and really played hockey. Every day, weather permitting, the girls played hockey games. Before color teams were chosen, they attended practice games where they organized teams. Shortly afterward the color teams started their games with victories in mind. E. Z. Zombies came out on top by winning four and losing none, while Cuddie's Commies ran a close second. Carroll's Barrells took third place and Haley's Green Hornets, a real hard fighting team, took the honors for last place. Around the time that the color team contests were busily going on, a team composed of sophies and 74 freshmen played Sewickley Academy on the latter's field. Avalon came out of the contest on top by defeating the Academy by one point. The class teams were now ready to begin and the seniors were really at work to take all the games from the underclassmen. Their first game was with the fastfpacing freshmen. Although this was the freshies first year they put up a good battle being defeated by only three points. The senior string, piloted by Margie Ritter, chalked up three victories establishing them in first place. The juniors were next in line, then came the sophies, and last but by no means least the everfchallenging freshmen. November found the girls putting away their hockey sticks for the end of another enjoyable season. The seniors felt that the sport of hockey would bring back many happy memories of their days spent in the little red schoolhouse. Volleyball Make it good, Blabsy Left of net, back row, front to back: E. Burt, E. Zewe, M. Schlarman. Front row, front to back: M. Mura, M. Ritter, J. Heine. Right of net, back row, front to back: J.

As soon as the hockey sticks were put away, volleyball was on the agenda for the next few months. Sports life in the little schoolhouse was moved from the held to the gym, the net was put up, and practicing started. During the class periods, the girls were taught different skills used in volleyball. Spiking and serving were among the things taught to the girls by Miss Hummel. Wednesday night was reserved for volleyball in the gym. Girls who wished to be on color teams came to the two practice games, signed up, and were placed on one of the teams. The teams were well chosen this year so the contest would be more interesting and exciting. After a few weeks, the tournament ended in a tie between two teams, captained by Babs Rogers and Eleanor Burt. The organization of class teams took place im' mediately after the last color game. The senior eleven chose Babs Rogers as their captain and her excellent organization of the team and the enthusiasm of the girls brought the seniors out on the top. The junior team held the position of second place and they proved to be the most outstanding team in the tournament losing to the seniors by a slim margin of three points. Grace Pauley and Nancy Vaughn were two very important members of the junior team because of their ability. The sophomores landed in third place with the enthusiastic freshmen close behind them. The fresh' men lacked only experience and it was presumed that in a few years they would become stiff competition for upperclassmen. After the last class team game was over, the volley' ball net was taken down, folded, and put away for another season. Everyone agreed that there had been many funfpacked hours in all the games and that they would long be remembered by the graduated seniors. 75 Softball KNOCK THE APPLE AROUND As soon as spring came and the weather permitted, the softballs, bats, and bases were taken down from the shelf, dusted off, and taken out to the Held for another season of softball activity. Miss Hummel instructed the girls as to how to improve their pitching and batting skill. All the girls were eager to learn and played many games of roundsies while waiting to practice or to play on a team. After a number of practice games were held, the color teams were chosen and the tournaments began. The color teams chose their captains and gave their team the name of a particular Indian tribe. Because of the increase in size of the Held, two games were able to be played at the same time, and the tournament ended sooner than usual. The outstanding players from each color team were put on the class teams. Carolynne Brink and joan Heine were two of the outstanding players on the senior team. The seniors were defeated by the quick acting juniors but won both of their other games. Alice Hay and Char Stringert were two of the hardehitting players from the junior and sophomore class. The juniors tied for first place, being defeated by the sophomores. All the games were very close and the outcomes were a surprise to everyone. When the last game of the softball season had been played the balls and bats were brought in from the Held and placed on the shelf not to be used again for another year. All the girls were sorry to see the school term end for they had found the year packed full of fun in the wide range of sports activities Softball had been one of the best liked sports and the seniors found it hard to believe that they would not play on the Held in class competing games. 76 Show 'em how, Cuddie First row, left to right: B.

Athletic Awards WIN GCJLD STARS IN SPORTS The Class of 1951 was gifted with six students, who, because of their ine attitude, knowledge of rules, and skill, were chosen as outstanding pupils in the varied Held of sports. Three boys and three girls have undoubtedly lived up to the standards of our sports at Avalon throughout their short high school careers. Dick Dasher Domville, the quarter back of our unbeaten football team, by running with the pigskin for high yardage, played an important part in our winning the O. V. C. title. Dave Nusz captained our football team through seven victories and one tie. Darvels superior gridiron feats will make a name for him in college football. Mr. Touchdown A.H.S. was the appropriate title given to the speed demon of the team, Bruce McGinnis. He was small but tough, D. Domville M. Schlarrnan D. Nusz Bottom row: J. Heine B. lvlciiinnis C. Brink and scored 6 touchdowns. Separate recognition to these stars in basketball would seem unethical as they served as trifcaptains on the team. Together, they worked cooperatively and apart they handled the ball with skill. These three captains certainly deserve the recognition of stellar athletes. Mildred Schlarman, the president of the Girls Athletic Association, showed equal skill in hockey, basketball, volleyball and softball. Millie always kept the activities buzzing through her quality of leadership. joan Heine gave girl participants plenty of com' petition, for she was the Ristest senior on any team. joan excelled, however, in basketball, in which she racked up high scoring honors. A lively member of all girls' sports was Carolynne Brink. She had endless determination and was difficult to outplay in any game. 77 Top row. left t ri it Avalon Annual Staff Crganization Editor ........... .,.. J UDY CUMMING Business Manager ,... ..,..
