Giving voluntarily and freely ot their time and abilities, Board mem- bers dealt with and satisfactorily solved many of the problems oi the school district. For the Board, the year 1955-56 was an espe- cially important one. As ot luly l, the Ohio Township and Avonworth school districts were united. From that time the two boards met together to administer the attairs ot the new union school district. The board set the policies tor the use ot the school buildings and approved the expanded use ot the gymnasium. BOARD OF EDUCATION They hired all persons employed by the district. Three additional people were added to the faculty: a part-time reading consultant, a speech correctionist, and a science resource consultant. The position of assistant prin- cipal was created. Dr. Fred Krause was selected to till this position. Apart from these actions, the board con- cerned itselt with several other things. The problem ot taxes and the budget received much attention. The field house and athletic iield were completed and put into use. The total cost ot this project was approximately 95lU3,000. Board members also studied a Front row: Mr. Charles H.

WARREN HOLLENBACK special census survey to determine the need for new school buildings. As a result, con- siderable time was spent in discussing the building program. Thus, the board has done and continues to do an excellent job in the handling of the administrative problems of the district. The job of the supervising principal is one concerned with putting the policies of the board into practice. Despite the time and effort spent in carrying out this work, Mr. Iordan found time to deal with the prob- lems of various organizations and individu- als. Many of his suggestions and policies were well received by faculty, students, and parents. His friendliness and cooperation added to the spirit of the school. Mr. Hollenback was faced with many problems directly concerned with students and their activities. In his own way he man- aged to smooth out many of the tangles which resulted. Busy as he was, he always found time to help an individual student. Because of these things Mr. Hollenback was an important part of the Avonworth spirit. Thus, the Board of Education, Mr. Iordan, and Mr. Hollenback have done what they could to provide an excellent school system for the Avonworth district. Miss Yeck, secretary to the supervising principal, works on school finances. Preparing a transcript is Mrs. Thompson, secre- tary in the guidance office. Miss Amy McClelland, school board secretary, fills out another tax form. 'it 5' xg .b. ,V 1 u , 1-Q: I ,lk-A M' - 'X I T .M . Wh-np, :gt W 1-ig 0 -.,, .r L,.4K .

Pi7za's the latest rage among the senior girls. On May 28 members of the Class of 1956 will be graduated from Avonworth High School. The events and personalities of their high school careers will then be but memories. But it is those memories which give meaning to the illusive term, spirit of Avonworthf' We shall list some of the mem- ories. From the memories expressed and those which are inexpressible they shall know of the spirit of the school as they experi- enced it in the years they spent here. Scholastic achievements of the seniors were notable. Several members placed high in the Civic Club test. Two senior boys were entered in the semi-finals of the National Merit Scholarship League. lnterest in schol- arship was general, for one-fourth of the class maintained honor roll averages. Many members of the class held respon- sible positions in the extra-curricular activi- ties of the school. Much work was accom- plished under their guidance and leader- ship. Now see here , . . says Ted in Time Out for Ginger. Tod Egg, Mike Mostoller, lim Wepsic, and lohn Dim- ling read for their Advansed English course. The athletes of the Class of 1956 will not soon be forgotten. They contributed much to the 1954 O.V.C. champion football team and to the 1954 and 1956 basketball teams which won the section title and entered into post season WPIAL competition. The female ath- letes of the class were responsible for the victories in many varsity volleyball and bas- ketball contests. Great was the dramatic ability of the class. Members had the leading roles in Arsenic and Old Lace and in Time Out for Ginger. And then they were credited with two original productions: a take-off on Wilkens Amateur Hour and one on This ls Your Life. Memories of a different sort, perhaps, linger from the many dances sponsored by the class: Sombrero Swing, A Night in Camelot, Football Finale, and the Senior Prom. Such were the memories which belong to the members of the Class of 1956 as they were graduated from Avonworth High School.

The luniors went to work shortly atter the beginning of school to record a series ot successful class functions. Phil Deringer served as president. The tirst project was the highly profitable and enjoyable dance, The Basketball Bounce, after the Oliver game. Later in the year the class elected Tim Hodgdon as lunior Rotarian. ln the spring the luniors presented their class as- sembly, entitled Rock Around the Clock, which provided entertainment tor the entire student body. Climaxing the social season tor the luniors was the lunior-Senior Prom in May.

Linda Walton and Lucy Shornbert added to the luniors' prestige by capping lead roles in the school play.

The Sophomore Class started its activi- ties early in the year with the election of four capable and energetic officers. Linda Golds- borough was placed at the helm, with Helen Pomeroy as vice president, loan Gerlach as secretary, and Toby Watt as treasurer. Friday, lanuary 13, marked the Sophs' first dance, The Black Cat Bounce. This not only provided money for the class treas- ury but an enjoyable evening for everyone who attended. They also held a semi-formal dance in April. Their class assembly re- volved around the theme, The Evolution of Dance. Among the representatives on the fashion boards at Horne's and Kaufman's were Linda Goldsborough, Ioan Gerlach, and Dee Knecht.

Sophomores spent much of their time and effort in the various clubs at Avonworth and contributed to the success of many of them. Warren Clark won the distinction of being the only soph to secure a role in the fall play. The Sophomore Class, eager to enlarge its record of achievements, looked forward to the events and opportunities of their junior year.

We Welcome Two New Friends From Europe The senior class was happy to have two exchange students, Marion van ' lzerlooy and Eusebio Elices, with them during the year. Each partcioated in class activities, belonged to several clubs and made many friends while living in the community. Marion played forward on the girls' varsity basketball team, served on several student council committees and modeled in the Y-Teen fashion show. She eagerly looked forward to a trio through the United States before returning home. Eusebio was an officer in the Photography Club, a charter member of the Math Club, and found PCD. to his liking. Planning to major in chemical engineering at the University of Madrid, he took chemistry and johysics at kvonwortli. ln Marion and Sibi, Avonworth students found two wonderful friends.

With the selection of Linda Masoner as editor and George Pomery as business man- ager, the yearbook staff began its work. Qnce again Miss Harris served as sponsor. The staff worked on the book during the summer and early fall. Then in October the circulation staff began its sales campaign with an assembly program, The 564,000 Question. As a result of their efforts, the staff received orders for more than four hundred books. Beginning in October and working through December, the photo staff planned and took pictures of each person and activity in the school. After Christmas things began to buzz as the various staffs worked in earnest. The photo staff identified all the people in the pictures and wrote captions. The business staff finished its task of collecting ads, names of senior parents, professional people, and patrons. As the March 26 deadline drew near, work grew more and more frantic. At times it seemed as if the book itself would be noth- ing more than a spirit. But somehow the printer did get the dummy copies on time. As the staff has felt some of the spirit of Avonworth in working on and in publishing the book, we trust that you shall find some of the spirit of the school as you read it.

AVON EWS The Weekly Paper Publishing the school newspaper pro- vided a workshop experience for Avonworth journalists. Under the leadership of Mr. Durst, mem- bers of the Avonews staff tried to gain ex- perience in all phases of newspaper work. Betsy Manners was elected editor for the first semester and Corinne Farmin served during the next period. Since special effort was made this year to include items of interest to the junior high, several junior high reporters were added to the staff. Other staff mem- bers tried their hand at writing, mimeograph- ing, typing, and circulating. lt was a com- mon sight to see the staff working as late as 5:30 on Thursday afternoons putting out Fri- day's edition. Once a month the Scholastic Roto Magazine, printed by National Scholas- tic Press, was distributed with the Avonews. In addition to publishing the paper, the staff started a fund with proceeds from a bake sale to purchase a mimeograph machine. The campaign will continue until sufficient funds are obtained. The usual Friday crye Where is my newspaper ?e-is proof of student interest in the Avonews.

Rickey Stephens, Linda Young Secretary .......................,.........,.,...... Gayle Thomas Treasurer ............ This year under the capable leadership of President Iohn Dimling and under the guidance of the new sponsor, Dr, Krause, Student Council initiated several projects in addition to their regular tasks. Qne of their first projects was the print- ing of the student handbook instead of the usual mimeographing. This book served as a guide for new students. In addition, the handbook provided all students with valu- able information on the calendar, on the various courses of study, and on the activi- ties offered by the school. This year Avonworth was very fortunate in having two foreign exchange students. One of these students, Marion van izerlooy, was sponsored by Student Council, while Eusebio Elices was brought here from Spain through the efforts of the North Boroughs Rotary Club. ...................Iohn Stitt For the first time the Council promoted the annual magazine campaign. Money raised in the campaign was given to many of the clubs and organizations at Avonworth. The Council's series of informal dances during the year took on a new appearance. Several of them featured recreational activi- ties other than dancing, Free refreshments and unusual themes made these record hops some of the best that Avonworth has had. ln the spring the All-Sports Banquet, an annual event sponsored by Student Council, was held in the Ben Avon Presbyterian Church in honor of our victorious lettermen. Ray Scott, a local sportscaster, was the guest speaker. Serving as the nucleus for school activi- ties and a voice for student opinion, Student Council did much toward the betterment of our school.

VARSITY CLUB Varsity Club, Whose membership is lim- ited to varsity letter winners, concluded a highly successful year under the leadership of its president Snark Stitt. Money raised from the sale of football programs was used to buy the red and grey Avonworth jackets. These jackets were presented to the senior lettermen, to the coaches, and to Mr. Hollen- back. The boys also sponsored a dance after the Stowe basketball game. In addi- tion, they directed an intramural sports pro- gram in basketball, baseball, wrestling, and boxing. Concluding the year's list of activi- ties was the Varsity-Faculty picnic held at the Ben Avon Heights field. Once again the Varsity Club has shown itself to be an active and prosperous organization at Avon- worth. VISUAL AIDS CLUB The Visual Aids Club of Avonworth, un- der the sponsorship of Mrs. Thompson, had a very active year. And the work of the club was made easier and more pleasant by the purchase of a new Bell and Howard projec- tor and two new screens. To show movies to classes and clubs, club members gave up at least one of their study periods each day. The films which they showed to the driver training classes added much to the safety education program. Every day Bob Cam- marata spent most of his lunch period show- ing movies in the auditorium for the benefit of those who stayed at school during the noon hour. Thus, the films shown by the club members added much to classroom en- joyment and instruction and provided enter- tainment as well. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Under the direction of its sponsor, Mr. Ringer, and president, Dick Wintermantel, the Photography Club had one of its busiest years. Club members gained experience in developing and in printing negatives. They also learned new techniques at their eve- ning meetings. In addition, the club spon- sored a photography contest, bought a new enlarger with funds from Student Council, took several field trips 'and held discussion sessions on cameras and photography. Because of its varied activities the club was asked to join the Philbreck Teenage Photography Association. Dick Winterman- tel, president of the local club, served as dis- trict chairman of the association. Of this and its many accomplishments the club can be proud. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Concluding its second year of work, Avonworth's chapter of the Future Teachers of America could look back with pride at their many accomplishments. With the help of Miss Thompson, elementary school prin- cipal, and Miss Clark, their sponsor, F.T.A. members got a closer view of their chosen profession. Each girl got a chance to observe an elementary class, then prepare a lesson and teach. The thirty members also sold tickets at all home basketball games, took over the playground duties of the elemen- tary teachers at noon, and substituted for high school teachers, in addition to their usual work of running off tests and marking state registrars. Thus F.T.A. has proved to be one of the most active of service clubs at Avonworth. Pagf Fifly-om' The Crimson and Grey Band of Avon- worth High School began its season early and maintained a rapid pace throughout the entire school year. Each day during the last week of August band members reported to the school. The week was climaxed by an open air concert on August SU. ln spite of inclement weather during the football season, the band marched and played for all home games as well as for several away games. Clever musical cheers were presented at half-time and at pep rallies before the games. At the end of football season the band presented the halfftime pro- gram at the dedication of the field house. Later in the fall, the band participated in a high school band day at Pitt. 'tIi IT1OfllPS at tht- new fir ld. Tip your hats--l . . 2 . . 3 . . Playing an important part in the Avon- worth Music Associations drive for funds, the band marched in the school district on three successive nights, reminding people of the campaign and urging them to contribute. As a result of the campaign, several new in- struments were purchased for the band. To conclude a successful season, the band presented its spring concert on March 23. Playing before a capacity audience in the gym, the band featured all types of mu- sic, from classical to boogie woogie. As a climax to the evening's entertainment an outstanding performance was given by Pro- fessor Kcats, assistant concert master at the McCurdy lnstitute. Thus, Avonworth High School can in- deed be proud of its marching band. mi Pugh' Fifty-lfwn Thr- Land mar:lges to the dedtatir AND GREY BAND The Bancl Provides Music On Many Occasions MAIORETTES Head Mcriorelle: L.

CCNCERT CHOIR The Chorus Furnishes Musical Enioyment During the year Concert Choir sang for many school and community groups. To facilitate their practice sessions, all fifty-six members of the choir were assigned to home- room l03 and scheduled for regular practice periods. ln the fall the choir sang for one of the first meetings of the Avonworth Music As- sociation. Part of the money raised in the A.M.A. fund drive was used to purchase new choir robes. Choir members wore the robes of slate grey with reversible red and white crested stoles for the first time at the Christ- mas concert. ln addition to this annual Christmas concert held in the auditorium, the choir presented a program of traditional Christmas music at Mellon Square. Through- out the year the members of the choir sat in a special section at senior high assembly. From their places they led the student body in the singing of the Alma Mater at the con- clusion ol each assembly. The choir also sang for community groups, They participated in exchange as- semblies at Avalon, Bellevue, and West View. They sang at a dinner meeting of the lnter-Service Club and at various other club meetings throughout the North Bor- oughs. At Easter time, the choir sang at the annual community sunrise service, held this year at the Ben Avon United Presbyterian Church. Members of the Concert Choir also par- ticipated in the All-County Chorus which sang in Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall for Teachers' Institute. ln addition, four choir members represented Avonworth at the Western District Chorus Festival, which was held at North Allegheny Ioint High School in February. Thus, the choir contributed much to group programming. Thumbelina . . . IF I But Knew . . I-ieavenly Light . . Front row: L. Masoner, I. Channing, M. Stout, I. Walko, K. Kinast, I. Sutton, C.

Ted Egg, Hasson Clark, Sam Hough, and Ruth Stevens were then tapped as new members. Dr. Luccock, chap- lain at the University of Pittsburgh, was the principal speaker. Following the ceremony tea was served for members and their mothers. With Miss Clark as sponsor, the group carried on many activities during the year. They planned and presented to senior and ............lohn Dimling junior high assemblies a panel discussion on education in ioreign countries. Among the panel members were Marion van lzerlooy, Eusebio Elices, and Karen Kuwitzky. ln the spring Avonworth was host to a joint meeting of the honor societies of Belief vue and Avalon. Linda Masoner, president of the local chapter, presided at the dinner meeting held in the Avalon Lutheran Church. The speaker ot the evening was a seminary student from Switzerland. To conclude ac- tivities tor the year members planned the Awards Day assembly program. At this as- sembly niany seniors received awards tor outstanding services. ln the course ot a year the members ot N.l-l.S. have done much tor the school. fum., riff,-ff.:-,T DRAMATICS Avonworth Presents Time Out For Ginger Front row: L.

Vtfarren Clark In November Avonworth's thespians presented Time Out for Ginger, one of the most successful plays ever produced at the school. There were many things which resulted in such a performance. First was the play itself, a comedy about a modern teenage tomboy. Secondly, the cast for the play was well chosen, The three principals, Ted Egg, Barbara Leix, and Gretta Carlson, as Well as the others, did an excellent job. Audiences will long remember many of the scenes: I-Ioward's animated account of the big game, Ginger's defense of football for girls, Ieannie's entrance as Oueen Victoria, and Tommy Green's big punch. The backstage and behind-the-scenes workers were important too. Stage and property crews scurried around for Weeks, looking for reasonably modern furniture, a bear coat, and special props for borrow. Several other problems were successfully solved by these people. Directed by Mr. Durst, with the able as- sistance of Miss Wilson, Time Out for Ginger was widely acclaimed by three en- thusiastic audiences. fccm znuzis QQIHIQIIVS ian mail, 'Dxd yan know Tm 'he ling man Ground the sfhcslr A proud pops torn down the qcdiposts m G mo- ment cf victory.

LIBRARY CLUB This year the Library Club was divided into two sections: the Library Club and the Library Service Club. The Library Club met once a week with Mrs. Carter to learn how to use the library facilities. As part of their club programs later in the year, they pre- sented skits and book reviews to show what they had learned. Members of the Library Service Club served as assistant librarians. Each of the nineteen members worked at least three hours a week in the library. They indus- triously prepared new books for circulation, worked at the desk, and put the books in their proper places on the shelves. At the Awards Day assembly in May, members who had helped consistently in the library during the year received a pin. HUNTING AND FISHING CLUB The aims of the members of the Hunting and Fishing Club were to become better sportsmen by learning new skills and tech- niques. The sponsor, Mr. Coble, and the president, Iohn Shanley, directed the club's activities. During the fall months emphasis was placed on hunting. Programs included an archery demonstration, movies on the care and safe use of guns, a talk by the Pennsyl- vania State game warden, and talks by sev- eral of the local police chiefs. ln the spring the emphasis shifted to fishing. Members saw movies on Canadian fishing and demonstrated various types of equipment. As a conclusion to a very successful year, a summer field trip to Fisherman's Paradise at Bellefonte, Pa., was planned by the group. CLUBS LIBRARY CLUB Front row: L. Boyd, S. Pollock. B. Stout, I.

The meetings which were held each Friday morning consisted of discussions of various district hospitals and the distinctive qualities of nurses. Tours through Duquesne University, Western Psy- chiatric Hospital, and the D. T. Watson Home for Crippled Children proved to be beneficial and enjoyable to these would-be Florence Nightingales. ln the fall the girls gained practical experience as they helped with the administration of polio shots in the elemen- tary school. This club, under the direction of Miss Rotzler, the school nurse, hoped to instill in the girls the desire to become earn- est and efficient workers in the medical pro- fession. FORENSIC CLUB Avonworth's orators took on new impor- tance this year with their acceptance into the National Forensic League. As a result they had an opportunity to participate in N.F.L. acivities: debates, Student Congresses, extemporaneous speeches, and dramatic and humorous interpretations. Traveling to many schools such as Pitt, Edgewood, Baldwin, and Butler, the Forensic Club members won a majority of their contests and gained a great deal of experience in the process. In N.F.L. ratings, Iohn Dimling and Mike Mostoller won degrees of excellency, while Hasson Clark, Ted Egg, and lim Wepsic received de- grees of honor. Recognition and honor for Avonworth as a leader in speech work has been the result of the hard work and time spent by the Forensic Club members. Pngr Fifty-nigh!

Shombert. Y-TEENS For the first time Y-Teens the high school division of the Y.W.C.A. came under the direct sponsorship of the school. Mrs Curry served as faculty adviser of the group A large membership enabled Y-Teens to have one of its most active years. Their activities included the monthly luncheons, a spring fashion show, several bake sales, a father-daughter skating party, and a joint Hi-Y--Y-Teen barn dance at North Park Highlighting the year was the annual Christ mas formal at Shannopin Country Club. As part of their social service work Y-Teens helped out at the Allegheny Temporary Home for Children and worked on the World Fellowship project. The Mother-Daughter banquet, which was held in May, ended the activities for the year. HI-Y To carry out the aims of their program Hi-Y members took part in the fund-raising campaign of the new Y and collected money for the polio drive. Many of the boys at- tended meetings of various Y.M. groups throughout the year. Early in March a rep- resentative was sent to the mock legislature in Harrisburg. However, the club had time for fun and fellowship. Dinner meetings were held Thursday evening each month in the Ben Avon Presbyterian Church. Their bas- ketball team competed against other Hi-Y teams in the Y tournament. Hi-Y also spon- sored a sports night in the gym to raise money. Much of the credit for the success of the club's program goes to its president, lim Hamilton, and its new sponsor, Mr. Minerd. PEP CLUB Pep Club a new organization sponsored by Miss Ruminski was a dynamo of Avon worth spirit The group was the first to learn and promote new cheers As a result the members formed the nucleus of the cheering section at sports events During the football season the girls sold confetti streamer and miniature megaphones To honor Betty Ward Avonworth s Football Queen Pep Club sponsored a semi formal dance The Coronation Cotillion which was held in the gym As the basketball team won the sec tion title and advanced to WPIAL play offs the club sponsored two color days when everyone wore the school colors These energetic girls deserve a hand for their part in promoting school pep and spirit through out the year AUDIO AIDS STAFF The Audio Aids Staff took charge of the amplifying and public address systems of the school. The four members set up what- ever amplifying equipment was needed for assemblies and pep rallies. They also took care of the record player-loud speaker hook- up for all dances. Seldom receiving recog- nition, these boys deserve a thank you for the service they gave to the school. SENIOR MATH CLUB The Math Club provided an extra-cur- ricular activity for those people interested in mathematics. Mr. Shaffer sponsored the group. During their meetings the group worked problems in logic, differential calcu- lus, analytic geometry, and curve tracing. Since much of this material will be covered in college math courses, the members felt that their time was well spent. Pagr Sixty-om' Iunior Red Cross members look at a poster.

Because of this, the DE REBUS staff feels that junior high clubs and organ- izations deserve a place in the yearbook in recognition of the service and opportunities they have provided. One of the largest of the clubs was the lunior High Chorus, led by Miss Garroway. Each week this choir sang for Iunior High Assembly. In the spring several members were selected to participate in the lunior Western District Chorus Festival held in Washington, Pa. Members of the Iunior Red Cross took an active part in social work this year. At Christmas the girls planned a party for the children at the Holy Family institute. At Easter they made favors for a local hospital. Under the direction of Mrs. Pluechel, they also filled Red Cross boxes which were later sent overseas. Mr. Coble's Hunting and Fishing Club found time to learn the proper skills and techniques of the two sports. They also saw several movies. ln the spring they planned a camping trip. Each Wednesday morning devotees of the royal game of chess and enthusiasts of checkers learned the fundamentals and fine points of the games. Mr. Burk was the ad- viser of the group. Members of Miss Bravin's Iunior High Forensic Club eagerly learned the basic prin- ciples of oral composition and debate. Hav- ing gained valuable experience in junior high, these people would then be able to take their place as interscholastic debaters when they reached senior high. The twenty-seven members of Iunior Hi- Y, sponsored by Mr. Parry, provided many services for the school. They established a permanent lost and found department in the attendance office. ln addition, they col- lected money for the Polio Drive and for the Buy-a-Brick campaign of the Y. lunior High Drama Club followed much the same pattern as its senior counterpart. Miss Wilson taught the members of this club various stage and body positions, They also studied voice and pantomime and read several plays for practice. Aspiring young mathematicians were in their glory in Mr. Burk's lunior High Math Club. These students found time to study mathematical puzzles, number systems, and toothpick geometry. The lunior Planes and Trains Club, spon- sored by Mr. Shriver, was primarily inter- ested in the design and construction of planes, trains, autos, and boats. They con- centrated on the development and assembly of models in their club meetings. Thus, in many ways the first year of an activity program in the junior high school proved to be a successful venture. Pagn' Sixty-tfwu JUNICDR HIGH CLUBS LIBRARY SERVICE CLUB Front row: M.

Such fun, such memories in the scrapbook and in the heart as the band played l'll See You in My Dreams. And then it wasn't long until people were asking, l-low many steps before the queen? And the queen's palace turned out to be the gym. With silver and tinsel everywhere it did indeed look like a royal ballroom. At intermis- sion three lovely attendants watched as Kay Shawkey, a queen in her own right, crowned Betty Ward Football Queen of 1955. As the couples continued to dance to the music of Hough QS Hough, the stardust seemed to shine even more brightly than before. Then Good- night, Ladies was heard, and once again the scrapbook was full. The Queen and Her Court. Barbara Brown, Lynne Schellrnan, Betty Ward, Kay Shawkey, ludy Allison.

ATHLETICS . . . Avonworth Now Has Adequate Athletic Facilitie On Saturday, October 29, 1955, Avon- worth's field house and athletic field were formally dedicated. Although rain forced a cancellation of the dedication ceremonies at half time, the band presented an impressive show and the team defeated Edgewood later in the afternoon. Prior to the game specta- tors had a chance to inspect all parts of the field house and field areas. The completion of the field house and athletic field were made possible through the combined efforts of many people. ln 1954 the school board first began to plan for the improvement of athletic facilities. Arrange- ments were made to have fill from the con- struction of the Ohio River Boulevard placed on the field. ln some places this fill raised the level of the field as much as eleven feet. Approximately 95103000 was allocated for the construction of the field house. The archi- tectural firm of Lawrence Wolf drew the specifications. Final contracts were awarded in November, 1954. Work was completed in October, 1955. Field facilities include a foot- ball field, football practice areas, and a base- ball field. Plans include using the field and field house for girls' field hockey, softball, and other activities for both boys and girls. Thus, the improvement of the outdoor athletic facilities should provide additional opportunity for school and community recre- ation activities. Pnyf Sixiy-fight FCJOTBALL All Of The Teams Display Sportsmanship Avonworth 19 - Zelienople 0 The l955 football season opened against the traditional spoilers from Zelienople. After extensive pre-season drills, the Worthies took to the field and proceeded to trounce the op- position, l9-O. The first score featured a Stitt to Clark pass. Later in the contest two sus- tained drives were capped by line plunges by tailback Stitt, with Tatar converting for the extra points.

With offense limited to ground attack, the Antelopes consistently out-rushed and out-fought their opponents. After a hard-fought first half, the opponents yielded three more touchdowns, giving Avon- worth its first league win. Avonworth 26 -Bellevue 7 With a winning streak of 12 games under their belts, the Avonworth eleven took the field to battle the rivals from Bellevue. Late in the first quarter the Worthies hit pay dirt for the first score, with Hamilton carrying. The second and third quarters also showed Antelope scores, with Tatar converting. Avonworth 7 - Leetsdcrle 13 The Saturday battle with the Leetsdale Spartans proved disappointing and disquali- fying for the Worthies. The first quarter was mainly defensive with Leetsdale scoring early in the second quarter. At half-time the score read 7-O. The third period followed the pattern of the first and the next score carne in the last period when Hamilton's punt was blocked. Leetsdale then added 6. The An- telopes received the ball and moved delib- erately for their only score as the final shot rang. The score was l3-7, a serious setback for the Worthies. JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD Front row: M.

Early in the first period, Hamilton snared a fumble and ran 70 yards for the score. Stephens and Stitt drove for additional TD's. The last period featured a Neville fumble which was seized by Kramer and turned into another Avonworth score. Late in the game the Riv- ermen hit pay dirt, but the final tally read 28-13. Avonworth 34 - Avalon 0 An undermanned Avalon team proved no match for our determined Antelopes. At the mid-point in the game the score read 20-U, the result of a smooth running attack. Two more touchdowns were added before the game was over. Avonworth 31 -Edgewood 7 Rounding out the highly successful l955 season of seven wins and one loss, the An- telopes downed Edgewood. Playing on the new athletic field, the game was controlled by the red and grey from the first quarter. Near the end of the first half, the score sheet showed five marks for Avonworth and one for Edgewood. With rain slowing the action, the second half was scoreless, ending a well- played and hard-fought season. Second row: M, Mostoller, T. Watt, B. Christner, B. Sutton D. Miller, I. Eismont, B.

For the second time in three years, Avonworth High School won the WPIAL Sec- tion 22 title. ln addition, Avonworth gained permanent possession of the North Boroughs Lions Club trophy by downing both Avalon and Bellevue for the third consecutive year. Few of the fans expected much from the home team after they won four games and lost three in pre-season exhibition play. How- ever, the Worthies began their league sched- ule with a 48-47 win over Sewickley. This win proved to be important, for it gave Avonworth the lead in the Section 22 com- petition. After defeating Neville by a score of 60 to 48, the Antelopes had a close call in one of the most unusual games of the season against the Worthies' arch rival, Avalon. The final score read like a football total, with Avonworth out front, 26-24. Unfortu- nately, Mike Mostoller fractured his hand in this game and did not play again until the final game of the season. The Avalon win left Avonworth and Bellevue out in front in the Section 22 race. Bellevue played host to the Antelopes in the season's biggest game which the Bulldogs lost by a small margin, 63-60. A Bellevue win would have put the two teams in a tie for first place. As it was, the win put the Antelopes ahead to stay. The team continued its winning habit throughout the second half of league com- petition. Thus, Avonworth finished the sea- son with a perfect record of fourteen wins and no losses, and a two-season total of twenty-two consecutive league winsfan ad- mirable record of achievement. The schedule for the WPIAL play-off games pitted Avonworth against East Pitts- burgh in the quarter final round. The Sham- rocks won the game, which was played at the Dormont High School gym. by a score of 57-43. Later, the boys from East Pittsburgh went on to win the WPIAL championship and a berth in the state finals. This post-season defeat, however, could not detract from the home team's brilliant play in establishing the first perfect season in league play in Avonworth history. In lune Coach Stroup will lose Dave Blythe, Hassan Clark, Bon Cooke, Iohn Dim- ling, Mike Mostoller, and Snark Stitt. But with the help of Bill Graham, Skip Patton, Dick Sauer, and Rick Stephens, who sparked the team many times through the season, the school can look forward to another vic- torious season next year.

The l.V.'s opened their season by de- feating West View, North Allegheny, and Aspinwall. Later, sparked by the playing of Dick Miller, Mark Mostoller, and Dick Bevington, they defeated such teams as Evans City, Avalon, Leetsdale, and Sewick- ley in league competition. As the worthy l.V.'s went on to a winning season, they gained valuable experience for positions on the varsity squad in the years to come. Under the coaching of Mr. McCormick, the I.V. representatives made another con- tribution to the spirit of Avonworth. q!l' -M!! 3 2 IUNIOR HIGH SQUAD Following in the steps of the varsity and I.V. basketball squads, the junior high squad had an excellent year. Coached by Mr. Shriver, the new coach in the junior high school, the team provided keen competition for their opponents and gained much ex- perience in the process. Winning sixteen out of nineteen games, the team defeated all but one school in their league during the season. As a result, Avonworth placed first in Section l3. Dave Theophilus, George Edmunds, Al Smallwood, and Bob Smallwood led the team to victories over Leetsdale, Bellevue, Sewickley, and Avalon. Thus, the junior high team well deserved the praise which they received. IUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD Front row: M. Mostoller, D. Bevington, D. Miller, R. Stewart. Second row: I. Hamilton Cmane agerl, B.

A CHEERLEADERS - MAJCRETTES Contagious Vim, Vigor, And Vitality Blazing a cheering trail tor the Avonworth teams this year were our six peppy cheerleaders, ably led by Ioan Sutton. During the summer two ot the girls at- tended a Mid-West Cheerleader Camp in Indiana and brought back with them many new ideas. With Miss Ruminski's help, the cheerleaders made colorful posters which bedecked the school and led unique pep rallies to increase school spirit. Added attractions were the red and white pom-pons and the Avonworth Ante- lope. The cheerleaders sponsored several dances throughout the year, The most memorable of these was the Sadie Hawkins dance. Avonworth can cer- tainly be proud oi its cheerleaders who did so much in promoting school spirit and in urging our teams on to victory. A maiorette's lite is not all glamour and pretty uni- forms, it consists of hour after hour ot tedious practice in handling batons and learning various routines. Four oi our girls, who attended majorette camp during the summer, spent most of their time increasing their skills and planning new steps. Working hand in hand with Mr. Keister and the band, Avonworth's ten vivacious maiorettes, headed by Lynne Schellman, marched for the halt-time entertainment at football games, took part in several pep rallies, and represented Avonworth at the Pitt-Virginia game Participation in parades and in the program of the spring band concert added still more glory to the name ot Avonworth's majorettes 1118 II-jf! ii 'df N THE ATHLETIC RECORD Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth Avonworth ...,...........
