The G.B.A. football team finished their season with a disappointing record of 2 wins and 3 losses. Prospects looked good for a pretty fair team and the teachers' strike was a blow to the players. Their spirits sagged os the strike continued and the proper workouts that would have provided a more fit team could not be scheduled. Three of our seniors still managed to get full football scholarships. They are Gerald Freda — North Carolina State, Darryl Washington — Fort Lewis, Colorado, and Bill Glaze — Fort Lewis, Colorado. 68 Head Coach Joe McCune Backfield Coach C. Thomas, Head Coach J.

Coaches Gasowski and Buczek During their first season, the General Braddock Area Barons definitely supported the statement that hockey is the world's fastest sport. Although they finished with a season record of 1-14-1, the loyal fans expected and were provided with many thrilling moments. The popular- ity of hockey in the area is probably due to the fact that the game proved to be quite an interesting diversion from the already established sports. The team, under the direction of Head Coach Paul Gasowski and Asst. Coach Bob Buczek, played most of their games at the Alpine Arena and a few at the Civic Arena. The Barons are led by Capt. Jim Ward with Alter- nates Fran Yezovich, Don Meteny, and Jef Louth. Don led the team in scoring with 14 goals, making 5 of them in the game against Lawrenceville. He also represented G.B.A. Hoc 1st Row: D. Rothrauff, B. Tomasky, Buck Reabe, B. Patterson, D. Meteny, D. Zojac, R. Wtdziszewski, Cooch Gasowki. 2nd Row: S. Cromling, K. Evanchec, J. Ward, M.

Coach Buczek. on the All-Star Team. Since the Barons receive no funds from the school dis- trict, they had to sponsor various fund raising activities to raise money for uniforms, practice times, and other neces- sities. Some of these were a hoagie sale, car washes, and assorted raffles. The team, along with the coaches and statisticians. Deb Onder, Steve Skarupa, and Ed Osterseal, had a long year from September to April, but they are already making preparations for next season. The Barons have good pro- spects in Jim Ward, Jef Lauth, and Don Rothrauff. In con- clusion, the seniors, Mark DeVitis, Ken Goga, Don Meteny, Bruce Patterson, Ron Widziszewski, and Fran Yezovich, are to be commended for completing their first and last season with the Barons. 72 G.B.A. Opponent 1 Gateway 5 4 Lawrenceville Cath. 1 2 Canevin 2 0 Penn Hills 7 0 Churchill 10 2 Fox Chapel 4 1 West Mifflin North 3 1 Peabody 9 1 Gateway 4 5 Lawrenceville Cath. 7 1 Penn Hills 10 3 Churchill 8 4 Canevin 9 0 Fox Chapel 11 2 Peabody 7 1 West Mifflin North 2 73 The mighty Barons sexy cheerleaders. 75 How would you like to take a quick trip to the snack bar?

For many years basketball has been a popular sport in this area, but never before has it received as much sup- port from the entire community as it has this year. This is probably due to the fact that the team ended its season with o 22-5 record, climaxed by winning the state champi- onship. All the fans thank the team for a job well done and extend their best wishes for next year. The Falconian staff also wishes to thank the team for proving to all that YOU JUST CAN'T STOP OUR G.B.A. MACHINEIII 76 Coaches Greg Smith and Paul Birch °6 Ship '®0 B.A. Opponent G.B.A. Opponent 92 Swissvale 48 Sec. 5-A Playoffs 72 Southside Catholic 54 70 West Mifflin North 57 74 Fifth Avenue 69 WPIAL Tourney 68 Central Catholic 45 Quarter Finals 58 Duquesne 49 59 Laurel Highlands 56 52 Ringgold 59 Semi Finals 95 Steel Valley 62 47 Sharon 44 89 South Allegheny 70 Championship 78 Clairton 75 47 Ringgold 54 80 McKeesport 81 PIAA Tourney Western Regional 81 West Mifflin North 76 First Round 65 Schenley 56 74 Fifth Avenue 72 84 Steel Valley 71 Quarter Finals 86 South Allegheny 47 61 Erie Tech 60 71 Clairton 65 Semi Finals 72 McKeesport 64 67 Sharon 59 69 Farrell 77 Finals 61 West Mifflin North 80 56 Ringgold 49 Sec. 5-A Overtime Overtime 78 79 Because of the teachers' strike, there wasn't any golf varsity competition during the 1972-73 season. During spring practice a number of underclassmen showed an interest in becoming port of the team. Coach Napolitan is, therefore, looking forward to a highly competitive team in the next few years.

This year the cheerleaders had little opportunity to exhibit their new uniforms during the shortened football season, but they had ample time during the extended basketball season. The girls worked diligently to perfect their routines in order to present flawless performances. The greatest improvements were made in preparation for the basketball playoffs. The cheerlead- ers are to be commended for showing us and everyone else their sincere support for our teams. Mrs. Struth Sponsor 92 Emily Alston Susan Cole Majorettes 1st Row: J. Konchy, M. Sobek, J.

They were only able to present one half-time show, but they also per- formed at several basketball pep rallies in their attractive black velvet uniforms. We hope next year will provide more opportunities for the exhibition of our majorettes' routines. 94 Choir 1st Row: S. Mikulo, P. Williams, K. Hart, E. Fri nd, D. Verosko, K. Beilhort, J.

Once again this year, the choir provided many moments of enjoyable entertainment for the students and residents of the community. The first few months of the school year were spent in prepara- tion for the Christmas presentations. The first performance was for the St. Joseph Christian Mothers. After finishing the last song, the members rushed off to the Ardmore Roller Palace for a skating party. Two formal Christmas concerts were presented this year at the Hartman Elementary and Rankin High School Buildings. In the spring, performances were given for the United Church Women and the Ben Fairless P.T.A. The annual spring concert was highlighted by the first public viewing of the new audito- rium. The final performance was for the commencement exer- cises. The two numbers presented were “If We Only Have Love” and the class song, “Happy Together.” 96 Mrs. Jane Page, Director Chorus Classes 1st Row: B. Zochery, N. Lucarelli, M. Brown, D. Brown, R.

The one thing that highlighted this performance was the fact that it was the first time the new band uniforms were publicly exhibited. Under the direction of Mr. Phillip Debski, the band spent the remainder of the year in preparation for the concerts. Two concerts, given at Christmastime, were in conjunction with the choral department, while one in the spring was strictly instrumental. Some of the senior band members put in a lot of time and work in an effort to raise money to buy jackets. Congratulations to all for hangin' in there! 98 Mr. Phillip Debski 99 Drama Club 1st Row: K.

One of the student council's projects was selling Falcon T-shirts and Do It! Buttons to promote school spirit. They also made public statements and appearances con- cerning our new merger. Congratulations to the student council for your sincere efforts. 102 Council members Cindy Welsh and Debbie Toney.

The after-prom was also held at the Quality Inn. The evening was highlighted by the presentation of the court. The queen was Barbara Jurinko.

Editorial Advisor Financial Advisor Marion Ferry B. D. Greenhowe The Falconian Staff wishes to thank John McGreevy, Don Meteny, Bruce Patterson, Marc Strednok, Paula McCuenn, Janna Portillo, and Kathy Skowronski for their enthusiastic cooperation ond assistance on numerous occasions. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank anyone else not mentioned who helped with the publication of the 1973 Falco- nian in any way. 131 For the Class of 1973 it was and is truly an ending and a beginning. It was a conflict and confusion in the beginning, marked by demonstrations and boycotts, and it was triumph and solidarity in the end. From the anger and frustration of forced change we have slowly matured to the cheers and laughter of togetherness. From suspicion and hostility we have progressed to the point where we do not want to see General Braddock Area pass on into obscurity. As we have grown from flighty frivolous seniors to serious and sonorous graduates so we wish for General Braddock the chance to grow into the solid basis of quality education which we, the Class of 1973, know it could be. As we go forth to higher education, to gainful employment, or to service to our country and community, we go as proofs positive of what General Braddock did and can accomplish. 132 Autographs Autographs Autographs • .
