ln 1915, Etna High School began its gridiron history, coached by ,lohn D. Mclntyre, now a prominent attor- ney. The team continued through 1916 but in 1917 the First 1Vorld 1Var interrupted the program. ln 1919, Etna High School became a four year high school and rwumed football which has been continued to the present time. Many excellent teams were fielded by the High School and the team of 1925 was undefeated, untied, and unscored on. Basketball had a slow beginning because of the lack of floors on which to play. The Sharpsburg Y.lVl.C.A. floor being the only one available in the district. The first basketball teams in Etna were sponsored by the Spang-Chalfant and Carnegie Steel Companiesg these teams were organized in 1919. ln 1921, as part of the new addition to the Wilson Street School. a basketball floor was installed. Etna High School basketball competition had its beginning in this period. Like football. basketball has continued as a part of the school program and many fine teams have represented Etna High and the team with the finest record being that of 194-5. which became the Class HB YV.P.l.A.L. champions. There were only a few independent basketball teams in Etnag however, two of these were outstanding-the Roy S. Mortons in 1922 and the Lambs in 194-7. The citizens of our community have benefited as individuals and as a group from their participation in the many sports activities of their community life and our town has enriched the professional, amateur, high school. and college sports programs beyond our community through the many youths who have gone from our town to continue their participation in the various fields of athletics. In the days before automobiles, radios, and tele- visions, athletics furnished much of the amusement for the people and there was very intense rivalry be- tween the teams of adjacent communities, and it was the ambition of a majority of the boys to excel and become famous baseball or football heores. It is be- lieved this activity tended to eliminate a large part of juvenile delinquency and kept them happy and con- tented despite any lack of prosperity. CHARLES WHITEY ALPERMAN LAWRENCE E.
