There are. to be sure. some familiar signs: the quotation posters in the main passageway. a magazine campaign thermometer. the GAA bulletin board. the in and out baskets on a teacher's desk. dance posters. bake sale announcements. athletic schedules. the Varsity And yet it is such signs which give direc- tion and meaning to the abstractions: Avon- worth High School. education at Avonworth. or life at Avonworth. In the succeeding pages we have tried to capture in word and in picture specihc signs to direct you to our life at Avonworth. fm -.,,,,,...---' MR.

Because of his leadership, the principles of democracy have become the principles of our lives. He has created in us a feeling of friend- ship, not only for our fellow students, but for people the world over.

Student Life Spring came as it always does. Concentra- tion on Latin verbs and algebraic equations be- came more difiicult than ever. Yearbook people scurried to meet deadlines. Civic Club tests, em- ployment tests. and college boards received more of our attention. Class assemblies gave us an outlet for our creative energies. The lady gym- nasts produced their own show. Outer Space. The seniors went to Wasluiimgton and New York. school elections were held. and awards were pre- sented on Awards Day. And soon even June exams were memories. For june 12 had come.

One of the first problems of discussion concerned the building program. Within the next year construction on a new thirteen-room elementary school building will begin. It is notable that at least three or more board mema bers interviewed each of the five architects and visited buildings they had designed before the Firm of Altenhof and Bown was chosen. In addition to the immediate building program. the board worked on a long-range plan which will provide additional high school facilities within the next five or six years. Avonworth's Board of Directors was also interested in and in agreement with the ex- pansion of student government, as well as with the enlargement of extra-curricular and ath- letic activities. Hiring a reading consultant and other additional personnel helped to provide school time for faculty planning. Salary problems also came before the board and were solved with an average increase in wages, which was the highest in the county. Along with these problems, the directors were responsible for regulating the school and wage tax and han- dling other Financial matters concerning the school district. Thus, in following its purpose of making school policies and solving school problems. the school board has done much to better the .-Xvonworth School District and lceep it in ac- cord with our progressive times. They Formulate School Policies ROBERT F. JORDAN Nluch of the success of the past year can be attributed to the hard work and planning of Nlr. Robert fi. jordan. Avonworth's super- vising principal. His main job was to execute the details involved in the policies laid down by the school board and to act upon sugges- tions made by lNIr. Hollenback and the faculty. Wforking hand in hand with the student gov- ernment. Nlr. jordan cooperated to the fullest degree in carrying out student recommendaa tions for the betterment of the school. Vifith this same idea in mind. hflr. Hollenf hack, in the position of high school principal. efficiently handled student scheduling. worked out the school calendar, and substituted in classes whenever necessary. To these duties he added the responsibility of overseeing all activities of students and faculty alike. In his own way Mr. Hollenback managed to iron out many of the problems which occurred. Thus. he gave freely of his time to make Avonworth High School the smoothly-run unit we know. In conclusion, the student body owes the Board of Directors, Mr. Jordan, and lVlr. Hol- lenback a measure of appreciation for helping to make our school experience a happy and profitable one. j. WAR REN HOLLENBACK 4 ,ffw r ir- Miss Yeck and Nlrs.

Cox helped each student to plan his schedule according to his abilities, present interests and future needs. To determine interests and abilities, the guidance office gave a battery of tests to all students in grades 7-12. lVlrs. Cox also arranged stu- dent-parent conferences for all ninth graders to discuss their high school courses in rela- tion to the future. In addition, hflrs. Cox helped to place students in jobs, advised them on colleges, and conducted follow-up studies on graduates. Thus, the guidance counselor had an important place in school life. IVY WILLIS The reading program at Avonworth, under the direction of lVlrs. Ivy Willis, is based on the concept that every student has the right to read as well as his ability per- mits. A basic program was provided for all students in grades 7-12. Early in the year tests were given to determine the abilities of each student. Those deficient in reading skills received individual instruction. For any senior requesting it, help was given in vocabulary and in reading on the college level. Many classes used the education edi- tlon of The Reader's Digest. Thus, an attempt was made to improve the reading level of all students. RUTH M. ROTZIER The health program was under the di- rection of lvliss Rotzler. Physical and dental examinations. given at regularly scheduled intervals, were a part of this program. ln addition. lNliss Rotzler gave audiometer tests to determine hearing difficulties and worl-Led with the speech specialist to help correct speech defects. ln the spring lhliss Rotzler set up and supervised the polio innoculation program for the entire student body, Fol- lowing the polio program. tests and X-rays were given for tuberculosis.

Readin', writinf and 'rithmeticu are much in evidence in tht- curriculum at Avonworth. A reading specialist worlcs with the classroom teacher, with the slow reader. and with the ex- ceptional reader. Writiiig is now part of the seventh grade course of study and is given emphasis throughout the junior high school. Science and math courses. advanced and gen- eral. are talcen bv all students. French. Span- ish, and Latin are offered to senior high people. Social studies courses are given to all students. while wlorld l-listory and Xvorld ljrohlems can be elected in the senior high years. An Ad- vanced English course. with emphasis on reade ing. thinking, and the expression of thought. can he elected by seniors. But since there is more to education than readin'. writing. and lrithmeticu. and a dash of l.atin grammar. such sulwjects as home eco- nomics. industrial arts. choral and instrumental music. arts and crafts, commercial subjects. and phvsical education courses are offered to students. To carry out this program .-Xvonworth lifls a facultv well prepared in subject matter. fa- miliar with the principles of child psychology. competent in directing extra-curricular activi- ties. interested in and devoted to the taslc of preparing young people to become creative masters of themselves and intelligent citizens of the world.

Wendy. Carol, and Pat feel the after-effects of a held trip to Pittsburgh, john and Ralph beg Sandy to buy a pencil for the benefit of the senior class. And these are some of the mature minds of Ad- vanced English class. As the seniors don their caps and gowns on May 27, they will record the final event in a long list of activities and achievements at Avonworth High School. Here we have space to mention only the more notable ones. The sale of pens, pencils, and boolccovers, and the arrival of class rings during our soph- omore year marked the introduction of our class into senior high activities. Passing into our junior and senior years, we found that our athletes composed the great- er part of the football, basketball, and golf squads. The list of our achievements began to grow with members of our class partici- pating in Time Out for Ginger and The Night of January Sixteenth. Rock Around the Clock. a roclc and roll version of school life, copped first honors in the assembly awards of our junior year, as did our talce-off on The Steve Allen Show as seniors. Members of the class capably held top offices on the De Rebus and Avonews staffs, and in many other organiza- tions. We had the distinction of electing to the office of Student Council president the first girl in six years. Adding to the class' honor, a member was chosen to participate in the East- ern States Chorus at Atlantic City in March. Scholastically, the class of ,57 had always ranlced high, with members placing in the Civic Club and National Merit tests, and in the DAR essay contest. johnny Jump, Snowman Swing, Basket- ball Bounce, Sleigh Ride, and An Old Fash- ioned Walk can not be forgotten as the main highlights of our social calendar at Avon- worth. Then came one of our most memorable experiences-our senior trip to Washington and New York in May. Arriving home after an enjoyable week, we found the senior prom. Final exams, and our class dinner following in quick succession. Thus, as commencement brings our class activities to an end. we, the class of '57. will depart, taking with us many memories and leaving behind high standards of achievement for others to emulate.

Vllalton THE VIKING American Ways Are Under Observation ln cooperation with the American Field Service Committee, Avonworth this year wel- comed Solve Grotmol, an exchange student from Norway. As a member of the senior class, Solve joined in many activities. He toolc a special in- terest in Advanced English, PCD, and gym. Through his part in the school play, he proved that he had dramatic ability. Because he pos- sessed in large measure the qualities of leadership, character, scholarship, and service, Solve was elected into the National Honor Society as an honorary member at the spring induction cere- mony. Not only did Solve tell of his country to Avonworth students. Very graciously he tallced of his life and his country to various civic or- ganizations in and around the Pittsburgh area. Each month he attended the meetings of the North Boroughs Rotary Club, an organization which helped to sponsor him. In Solve, Avonworth students found a true friend. His interest in all lcinds of activity, his friendly attitude, and his adaptability made him one of the finest of Norwegian ambassadors. Al- though Solve came here to learn about America, we Americans at Avonworth have certainly come to a better understanding of our European neigh- bors through Solve. Solve pays tribute to his adopted country The Tl'1umm's seem pleased with Solves Christmas Herr Junquist is cross-examined by the defense Cilff-l5 attorney. 9 v THE IUNIORS The big brass of the junior class discuss plans for the coming year Left to right udy Halter Pat Gaughan Peggy Struble Bill Neely OFFICERS President Bill Neely Vice President Judy Halter Secretary Peg Struble Treasurer Pat Gaughan 1956-1957 found the junior class busily engaged in worthwhile activities During September and October the jun iors worked hard selling refreshments at the football games. Judy Halter served as chair man of the arrangements committee. In Oc- tober try-outs were held for the fall play, The Night of January Sixteenth. Four juniors captured important parts. Mark Mostoller played Larry Regan, the gangsterg Linda Goldsborough as Karen Andre had the lead, Janice Corheld played Mrs. Hutchins, and Tom Bucka was the bailiff. In January Fred Maier was elected to serve as Junior Rotarian. February was a busy month for the juniors as they rehearsed for their assembly, Potra-Zee- Bee, a scintillating satire on school life. Mark Mostoller was the narrator for a series of skits depicting a typical day at Avonworth Such things as a typical class typical hall scenes a typical dance and a typical basket ball game were represented Because of their skill and performance the juniors provided a major portion of the var- sity football and basketball teams. Along with the junior cheerleaders and majorettes the junior class added much to all sporting events. Consistently, the juniors ranked high scholastically. Four of the top juniors were elected into National Honor Society on March 13. As the Junior-Senior Prom ended the ac- tivities for the year, the juniors found them- selves awaiting the pleasures of their senior year which would begin in September.

With the selection of Linda Walton as editor and Martha Stout as business manager, the staff began to think of ideas for a theme. During the summer Linda Walton and Miss Harris attended the National Scholastic Press Association conference at the University of Michigan to discover ways to improve year- books. For they were particularly anxious to maintain the standards of achievement set by the 1956 De Rebus which had won the Key- stone Award in the Pennsylvania School Press Association contest and had received a first place award in NSPA judging.

Once school started in the fall, the staff picked a theme, the business staff started to collect ads, while the circulation staff enlisted all its efforts to sell yearbooks. To aid in the promotion the staff put on an assembly based on the mock convention theme. Pictures were taken during the first semester. During Janu- ary and February the photo staff identified and captioned the pictures. As the March 25 dead- line drew near. the literary staff frantically wrote copy. March 25 came, the dummies were ready, and the printer's deadline was met. Thus. the 1957 De Rebus was ready for dis- tribution the last week in May. The Circulation Staff Front row: Behrhorst, K.

AVONEWS Printed Editions Publishing a four-page printed edition every six weelcs instead of distributing a two- page mimeographed weekly gave the Avonews a professional look. Pictures were an added feature of the paper. Under the leadership of Mr. Hess and Lucy Shombert. thirty-five people, chosen from the junior high as well as the senior high. served on the newspaper staff. Thus, an equal amount of coverage was given to the junior high school. In addition to regular news cov- erage, the sports editors reported well on all football and basketball games. For a high school publication the editorials were provoca- tive. Feature articles covering all aspects of Claire Hirsch. Betsy Xian:-mrs. and Lucy Shombcrt proof- read galley sheets. Show Improvement school life were outstanding in thought and expression. One of the feature articles which Avonworth students will not soon forget was the one on Solve Grotmol, the foreign exchange student. Scholastic Roto Magazine, published by the National Scholastic Press Association, was distributed with each edition of the news- paper. To increase efficiency and to insure qual- ity, three class periods a weelc were devoted to publishing the paper. Mr. Hess used many of these class periods to instruct the staft in jour- nalism methods. From the improvements found in the paper this year. the instruction proved to be INOSI profitable.

STUDENT COUNCIL Student Teachers Prove To Be Capable Student Council won new respect during the year 1956-57 by completing many projects which past student councils had merely sug- gested and by continuing the traditional pro- jects. No doubt one of the outstanding events in the new program was the establishment of and the preparation for Student Day. On February 6, seniors took over all executive and teaching positions. Not only was this a change of pace for students and teachers, but it en- chine was purchased for students who ate lunch at school. To encourage students to keep the place clean, trash cans were placed around the school. A much-needed bulletin board was placed in the passageway, while the inadequate trophy cases which had served their purpose were replaced with a new one. Along with these new projects, Student Council maintained its traditional projects. A student handbook was published. Dances, held at regular intervals, drew large crowds. At abled seniors to see how things looked from the end of each report period the honor roll the other side of the desk. was made up of all students who acquired a 1.7 average. Climaxing the sports season, the All-Sports banquet was set up in its usual splendor. This year the Student Council handled the entire magazine campaign.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE Programs Provide Educational Entertainment This year the assembly committees worlced to provide both educational and enjoyable as- sembly programs for the entire school. Under the guidance of Mrs. Russell and Dick Wintermantel, the senior high committee planned programs based on the results of a student preference questionnaire. Humans are Humorous, a student participation program. was the first assembly of the year. Rege Cordic and a hypnotist followed. An exchange stu- dent discussion with Solve Grotmol and Marty Stout, Art Pallan, and I-Ial Harrison from the Friclc Education Commission, and a full-length movie, Battleground, proved to be successful programs. Competition between the senior high classes resulted in three excellent assemblies. Throughout the school year the junior high committee, led by Tom Boyd and Mr. Staclc. presented many worthewhile programs. Larry Tobler, a banjo playerg George Groman. a language expertg and Hal Harrison with his movie. Beyond the Shining Mountain, pre- sented outstanding assemblies. Art Pallan and a slcin diver added to the interest in junior high assemblies. Gulf Oil Company and Du- quesne Light Company were responsible for two science shows: Barrel of Magic and House of Magic. Everyone seemed to enjoy taking part in and presenting the class assemblies. Thus. each weelc. the junior and senior high assembly committees provided superior programs for the entire student body. FORENSICS Participants In NFL Activities-- Victors In Many Speech Contests Under the leadership of Jim Fisher. presi- dent. and Mr. Bast. sponsor. the Forensic Club of Avonworth gained new recognition this year. Of the thirty-six club members. thirty-two belonged to the National Forensic League, Mary Emery, Ray Hodil, and Marla Mostoller held the degree of excellence. while several other members had the degree of honor. Mem- bers of the club participated in debates. stu- dent congresses. and speech tournaments. which included extemporaneous speeches. ora- tions, and humorous and dramatic interpreta- Tw P.

In the Forensic Club meetings discussion was held on the debate topic-Resolved: That the federal government should sustain the prices of major agricultural products at not less than 902 of parity. A highlight of the year was a speech tournament held at Avon- worth. By attending events held at such schools as West View. Butler, Edgewood. St. -Iustin's, and Baldwin, club members had the chance to distinguish themselves in speech worlc. With projects such as these. Forensic Club members completed a successful year. Front row: M. Lore.

One of their duties was spinning records at many of the weekly dances. The boys played plat- ters from rock and roll, to waltzes to provide a variety of entertainment for the students. The technical sound effects for the assemblies, plays and concerts required a great deal of hard work from the members. This staff also took charge of keeping the public address sys- tem in good working condition so that it could be used for the regular morning announce- ments and devotional period. In carrying out these duties, the Audio Aids staff contributed a worth-while service to the school. They de- served a word of thanks from both the stu- dents and faculty at Avonworth.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Any sophomore, junior, or senior girl who was interested in the teaching profession found the Future Teachers of America Club of great assistance. Early in the year the girls attended an FTA conference at Thiel College. Their visit to Slippery Rock gave them an idea of life at a state teachers' college. In the spring two members attended the state convention at East Stroudsburg. In addition, the club carried out many service projects. FTA members served substitute teachers in the elementary school and helped with many secretarial chores in the high school. At basketball games they sold tickets and started a coat check-room. Under the leadership of Miss Clark and -Io Walko. these activities gave members an excellent pre- view of the teaching profession. SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS Clubs Prove Helpful To The Faculty COMMERCIAL CLUB In spite of its size, the Commercial Club. composed of eight senior girls who took typing II and shorthand. accomplished many things. With Mrs. Russell as sponsorg Janet Klug. presidentg Aldine Funkhouser, vice president: Grace Pflugh, secretaryg and Paula Deringer. treasurer, the girls met twice each week in reg- ular scheduled classes. Their main purpose was to help teachers and various organizations in the school by typing and by running off dittos and stencils. Another part of their job was to decorate the bulletin board in the typing room with appropriate material concerning sec- retarial work. In the fall they toured business schools in Pittsburgh. Thus, their many ac- tivities helped to initiate the girls into the workings of the business world. VISUAL AIDS STAFF The Visual Aids staff carried on a very successful program this year, Mrs. Thompson, the sponsor, saw that each movie was shown at the proper time in the proper place. ln order to participate in this activity, the boys had to relinquish their study halls each day, Natural- ly, some instruction on the fundamental opera- tion of the film projectors was necessary at the beginning of the year. This service was pro- vided by Mr. Shriver. An accomplishment of the staff was observed on the occasion of the showing of the films, King Richard II and Battleground. These three-reel movies were able to run continuously because two projectors were set up and used alternately. Thus, be- cause of the work of these boys, the instruction program was enhanced.

LIBRARY CLUB At Avonworth the Library Club is divided into two parts: the regular Library Club and the Library Service Club. The regular Library Club met once a week. Ar that time Mrs. Carter gave the girls general information on library procedure, the Dewey decimal system, methods of clipping maga- zines for the pamphlet file, and hints on ways of filing material. The Library Service Club consisted of twenty-Five members. These girls served as library assistants. They helped to prepare new books and magazines, they repaired books and returned the borrowed boolcs to the shelves. In return for helping in the library three pe- riods a week, the girls received an award at the Awards Day Assembly which was held in May. FUTURE NURSES CLUB Girls who were interested in nursing as a career found the Future Nurses of America Club very helpful. The weekly programs served to introduce the girls to various fields of nursing and medical services. In addition. the members had a chance to serve as volun- teers in school health projects and in commu- nity institutions. Under the guidance of Miss Rotzler and Ru'h Tirzel. the girls planned many programs. They spent many meetings arranging an ex- change program to present to other FNA or- ganizations. They also saw special medical hlms throughout the year. To round out their program the girls served as student assistants in the health room. took hospital tours, and worked at Suburban General Hospital where they had a chance to get practical experience.

VARSITY CLUB And HI-Y Have An Active Year VARSITY CLUB The sharp-looking, grey and red jackets seen around Avonworth designate membership in the Varsity Club. The purchase of these jackets was only one of the many projects undertaken by the club this year. During football season the boys published and sold the football programs. Throughout the year their well-planned dances were an important part of the social calendar. A keep-off-the grass campaign was carried on by the members in the spring. In addition, the Varsity Club, with Rick Stephens as president and Mr. Mc- Cormick as sponsor, promoted a wide program of intramural sports. At their weekly meet- ings the boys spent much time discussing the aspects of physical education as a career. Thus, the Varsity Club proved to be an active organization. HI-Y Character building and physical develop- ment were the primary objectives of Avon- worthls Hi-Y. Weekly club meetings, month- ly supper meetings, and sports night programs. held under the leadership of Jay Stevens, pres- iderit, and Mr. Wright, sponsor, were directed toward achieving these ends. As sponsors of the Dick Kadis benefit dance on March 9, the club was able to contribute S104 to the fund. After some investigation and planning, a spe- cial health course, similar to the one planned by the Y-Teens for the senior girls, was given to the senior boys. Hi-Y also chose Linda Young as Avonworthls Football Queen. Later. Linda was crowned North Boroys queen at a special dance in the YMCA. Thus, through its program, the club has succeeded in achiev- ing its aims. VARSITY CLUB Mountcastle. . J e b rg, Fast, R. Tomaszewski, P. Gaug- 'mr 99 J af -4-, Y if Os Wfright, S. Deitzel. C.

In addition to these activities. several members of the band formed a dance band. This band played modern dance music and popular songs in preparation for a special sports recognition assembly and for a trip to lfdinboro State Teachers College with the Con- cert Choir. Thus. the band received deserved recog- niticn throughout the year. Working hand in hand with Mr. Keister. the majorettes added color and dash to the football games as they led the marching band down the field. Their long hours of practice during the summer months resulted in a group whose slcill and precision were outstanding. In addition to their performance at the football games, they marched for many of the pep meetings which were held in the high school gymnasium. One of the highlights of the spring band concert was a march by the ma- jorettes, Semper Fidelis. Concluding the ac- tivities for the year, the girls marched in the Memorial Day parade sponsored by the Ameri- can Legion, Left to right: NI. Kirk. Carlin. S. Nileader. C. Koehler. C. Frank, P.

National Honor Society Members Plan Impressive Induction Ceremony With Miss Clark as sponsor and Chris Grimstad as president, the National Honor Society made many changes in their program this year. First of all, the members changed the format of the traditional tapping ceremony. A color was used to represent each of the four qualities of the society. These colors were seen on the stoles of the robes worn by the members and in the candles lighted by each member before giving his speech. Members of the society also made a new backdrop for the stage to be used during the ceremony. Made of blue and gold felt, it consisted of a large keystone with a torch in the center and four other pieces representing the qualities of leadership, service, character, and scholarship. With these innovations, tapping cere- monies were held in the fall and in the spring. In the fall Betsy Manners, Lucy Shombert, Rick Stephens, and Linda Young were tapped. And in the spring Linda Goldsborough, Judy Halter, Mark Mostoller, Bill Neely, and Solve Grotmol were initiated. In addition to these ceremonies, the so- ciety sponsored Kick-Off Kapers, the first dance of the year. During the year members revised the constitution of the organization and studied methods of selecting candidates for NHS. To conclude their activities for the year, the Avonworth chapter of NHS, along with the chapters from Avalon and Bellevue, planned a National Honor Society Banquet.

These were but a few of the elements that made up The Night of january Sixteenth, Avonworth's dramatic production of the year. Mr. Woods. the new director, helped to make it one of the most stimulating and controversial plays ever presented here. The entire action of the play took place in a courtroom. Using little scenery. dramatic effects were achieved by means of unusual lighting. The jury, picked beforehand from the audience, found it hard to decide whether the defendant. Karen Andre. was guilty or not guilty of the murder of Mr. Faulkner. her em- ployer. The evidence was so evenly balanced The Cast that for days afterward many people were still discussing the verdict. Seldom. if ever. has an Avonworth audi- ence seen a performance of the emotional depth and impact as that given by Linda Golds- borough in the role of Karen Andre. Pat Fleming. as the district attorney. and Dick Winterinantel. as the defense attorney, gave outstanding performances. And who can for- get Magda with her Swedish accent or lVlark's portrayal of the gangster. Larry Regan. As usual. the stage crew worked hard behind the scenes and contributed much to the smooth production. Indeed. The Night of January Sixteenth will not soon be forgotten. ont ron: R. Ormsby. N.

Ze- lienople scored once in every quarter and made one extra point. Avonworth's only touchdown was scored by Burt Christner and the extra point was made by Dick Sauer. The final score gave Zelienople the victory with a 26-7 reading. The second game, however, proved to be more interesting, with Avonworth defeating Hampton, 18-7. Rick Stephens scored two touchdowns and Sauer scored one to provide the winning margin. For the first away game of the season, the Worthies traveled to East Huntingdon. Show- ing that their trip had not been in vain, they defeated East Huntingdon, 26-7. In the game Varsity Football Squad Mr. Shriver, Mr. McCormick, and Mr. Stroup stand ready for another football season. Sauer scored two touchdowns, ran a record total of 258 yards, and passed to Skip Patton and Rick Stephens for the other two touch- downs. A neighboring rival, Avalon, was Avon- worth's next opponent. In a hard-fought battle, Avalon played one of its best defensive games of the season. But with Sauer and Stephens scoring the touchdowns, Avonworth won, 13-O. In the Quaker Valley game, the Quakers scored touchdowns in the first and second quarters along with two more in the last quar- ter to shut out Avonworth without a score, 25-O. In the seventh game of the season, a fum- ble in the second quarter, together with a two- yard plunge, helped Bellevue to score two touchdowns in the first half. The visitors add- Front row: D.

'Fei' Dick Sauer throws a block for Rick Stephens in the Hampton game. Winning And Losing Demand Sportsmanship ed two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make the score 26-0. But with seconds re- maining in the last quarter, a Sauer to Mostol- ler pass made the final tally read Avonworth 7, Bellevue 26. For the next game Avonworth played Montour on the home field. The Worthies couldn't seem to do anything right and Mon- tour couldn't do anything wrong as they scored three times to make the final score Avonworth 0, Montour 19. A highly-rated, undefeated Neville team provided the opposition for the last game of the season. Avonworth, however, scored first on a seven-yard run in the first quarter. Ne- ville came back to score in the same quarter but failed to make the extra point. Thus the score remained 6-6 at half time. The third quarter was scoreless, but in the fourth quarter a Neville halfback broke through the line for ten yards and a touchdown, giving Neville a six-point victory. Although the Antelopes lost, team play had made it one of the best games of the 1956 football season. JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD Front row: B. Craig, L. Christner, C. Hoyt, A. Smallwood, F. Stephens.

Although Avonworth did not win the sec- tion title this year, they did win, for the fourth consecutive year, the North Borough's Lions Club trophy by beating Avalon twice and Bel- levue once. Pre-season exhibition play, with a record of one win and eight losses, was disappointing. The team began the season by losing to North Allegheny, Stowe Township, and Aspinwall. All three of these games proved exciting, how- ever, with the victors winning by one or two BASKETBALL point margins. Avonworth then won its first game of the season by defeating New Brighton, 88-64. After this, the boys could not seem to get going again, and they lost the next five games to Ambridge, West View, Dliver, Hick- ory, and West Newton. To open the regular season, Avonworth played Neville. Much to the surprise of every- one, Avonworth emerged the victor of this contest. The next game with Avalon went into an overtime with Avonworth winning, 61-57. Then the Worthies lost the next three games to Montour, Quaker Valley, and a close one to Bellevue. Thus, the first half closed with a record of two wins and three losses for the Antelopes. In mid-season exhibition games Avonworth defeated Hickory and West New- ton. To start the second half Avonworth lost to Neville. This defeat marked the third loss in Section 22 competition for the Worthies. The next game was rated as one of the best of the season, as the Antelopes downed Montour by a margin of thirty points. The last league game was played against Bellevue. Avonworth emerged the victor in a hard-fought contest, VARSITY TEAM Front row: D. Miller, D. Sauer, S. Patton. B. Graham, B. Sigel, G. Edmunds. Second row: R. Ormsby, P. Coyle, D. Bevington. T.

For the last game of the season Coach Boyd Stroup started his five seniors: Bill Gra- ham, Skip Patton, Rick Stephens. Pat Coyle. and Dick Sauer. These boys, who had played on the varsity squad for the past three years. brought home the victory for Avonworth in an overtime, 65-63. Thus. the season ended with a record of nine wins and twelve losses for the Avonworth team. As the seasonls totals were tallied. two boys emerged as high scorers: Bill Graham, a senior. and Bob Sigel. a junior. Both boys scored over 300 points. Next year Nlr. Stroup will have four lettermen returning for varsity competition: George Edmunds, Bob Sigel. Dick Bevington. and Dick Miller. Consequent- ly. Avonworth fans can look forward to a suc- cessful season in 1958. Team Again Receives LIONS CLUB TROPHY SQUADS Gain Experience During The Year JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD The Junior Varsity started the season by winning their hrst three games. After defeat- ing North Allegheny, Stowe, and Aspinwall. they lost the next three to New Brighton, Am- bridge, and West View. Then they beat Hiclc- ory and Oliver but lost by one point to West Newton. In the first half of league play the Antelopes beat Neville, Avalon, Montour, and Bellevue to remain undefeated in the first half. In the second half, however. they again beat Avalon but lost close ones to Neville, Mon- tour, and Bellevue. The final season record showed a rally of twelve wins and three losses. This fine record was due largely to the efforts of Bob Reilly, Dave Theophilus, Bob Small- wood, and Al Smallwood, and to the able coaching of Mr. Robert W. lVlcCormiclc. JUNIOR HIGH SQUAD Under the guidance of Coach Al Shriver, Avonworth's Junior High baslcetball team marched to another successful season. Their over-all season record read thirteen wins and fave losses. In league play, the team had a record of nine wins and four losses. The final tally showed that Avonworth had defeated Bellevue, Avalon, Shaler, and Qualcer Valley. They had lost, however, to Shaler, Harmony, and Qualcer Valley. In spite of these losses, they placed second in section 13 competition. All the boys played well, but four ninth graders, Dave Sauer with 250 points, Doug Weis, Fred Stephens, and Creig Hoyt, proved to be the mainstays of the team. Much will be heard from these boys as they join the varsity squads of Avonworth in years to come. Junior Varsity Team Y Yv Wepsic, Second row: B. Bell, J. Volpe, Hamilton. junior High Squad Sauer. C.

Allegheny West View Bridgeville Six During The Season Avonworth's golf team finished the 1956 season winning six matches and losing two. The Worthies lost the first match to West View but came back to defeat Carnegie twice in suc- cession. Next the team defeated North Alle- gheny and Bridgeville with the help of a for- feit. The fourth match was with North Alle- gheny which hacl bowed to the Avonworth team earlier in the season. This time the Worthies beat them by a score of 16-0. West View, however, proved to be Avonworth,s Waterloo. Although they tried hard, the Worthies lost by three points. The last match of the season for Avonworth was with Bridge- ville, whom they defeated, 16-0. Because of his outstanding play all sea- son, Snark Stitt, who had an average of 75.4 in match play, again went to the WPIAL golf matches held at the Pennsylvania State Uni- versity. This time Snark tied for eighth place in WPIAL matches and twelfth place in PIAA matches. Playing without Snark Stitt and Dick Elste next year, Mr. McCormick hopes to find the winning team in Dick Sauer, Joe Deringer, Bob Sutton, Bill Neely, Rick Stephens, and Tuck Hodgdon.
