The club is expressly for those who have a keen interest in matters scientific. Often the efforts of the club members to promote the cause iof science are viewed with consternation by the student body. This year has witnessed a revival of activities, with visits to Buhl Plan- etarium, journeys to Carnegie Museum and the United 'States Bureau of Mines, and an enilarg- ed social calendar. Many interesting years are before this club in tomorrow's world of science. Officers are: President, William O'Lea.ry Vice President, Lloyd Hampson.

Also for the iirst time in many iff- yiears, the football candidates were sent to a football camp for a week of in- tensive workouts and practice games with neighboring s-chools. On their re- turn from th-eir Twin Echoes' quarters, the b-oys looked a heav-ier and much yo 3Qhh gjLthmeash and .waiting for.the seasomto egin. The first game was scheduled with Chartiers in Washington for Sep- tember 14, but the weather did everything in its power to change this. A rain- storm bordering on cloudburst proportions started early that morning and never let up for three days. The game was played in spite of the elements, and the 13-0 score seemed a fair comparison of the two teams. All attending seemed completely satisfied except the Gunner Band, which didn't march because of the mud. ' This initial success was folllowed 'by two hea.rtbr'eaking losses to Wayiiesburg an-d Canons- burgis traditional rival, Washington High. Although they came out second best, the boys won the respect and admiration of the spectators. 'Then followed two almost identical Gunner victories lover Bridgeville and Carnegie. These games were featured by several long touchdown runs by Leo Koceski and the terrific 'line play by the Gunirer forwards. October 19 was the date of the all-important Trinity game. It was all-important to Trin- ity ibecause they had a perfect record, and even a tie would knock them out of the W. P. I. A.. L. Class A -championship race. Trinity was favored becaus-e of a supposedly smoother backfield and ra great weight advantage in the line. 'Once the game got under way, however, it was plain that the Gunner line had been considerably underrated. Canonsburg was the aggressor the entire first half but c'0u1dn't put over a score. Koceski took the second half kickoif and with superb block- ing, raced 85 yards for ia touchdown. 'Then Trinity put together two sustained drives and quickly to-ok the lead, 12-6. Vilith a minute and a lhalf remaining, the Gunners then scored from the one y-ard line after three long passes had set the play. With a difference between a tie and a vietorg 'hinging -on the extra point, Quarterback Bevec called for a placedkick. The ball hit the upright an bounced back, no good. The game ended a12-12 deadlock, but it was a great moral victory for Canonsburg. Though the Gunners lost their 'last two games to McKees 'Rocks and Burgettstown, these were strictly -anticlimactic, and the season ended with the Trinity game -still the main topic of conversation in C. H. IS. , Leo Koceski was picked by the leading Pittsburgh sports writers on the all XV. P. I. A. L. Class A football team.

BETWEEN THE BASKETS The Canonsburg basketball record was not spectacular this year, but it was an improve- ment over that of the past two seasons. 'The record showed 8 wins against 15 losses with 2 victor- ies out of 8 league games. Howeve-r, this failed to tell of the scrap-py squad, the exciting, close games, or the thrilling win over NVashington High in mid-January. Tlhis victory at VVashington was 'prob- ably the high point of an unpredictable season. The student body did not remembler the statis- tics of the long season, but they 'did remember the perfect arch of Cappelli's set shots, Tony D,Am- ico's scrappiness, Mancini's neat tip-ins, the eXpert passing of Chico and Bevec, and the sparkling team play of the entire squad. High scorers were D,fh111iI3O with 156 points, Mancini with 132 points, and Chico with 114 points. LEAGUE RECORD Canonsburg ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,........,,,,,,, ..........,.... 1 6 Trinity ,r,...,..,.

They won a triangular meet Over Brentwood and Wash Hi, ,piling up a total of 68 points. Five days later they traveled to Ambridgey Where they won two events and Dlaced sixth in the W, P. LA. L. relays. For twinning the mile relay, the team received an engraved plaque. The first day df :May found the Gunners looming in behind Mt. Lebanon in a quadrangular meet, with Washington and Norwin bringing ,up the rear, In Washington again for the next three meets, the lC. H. rS. thinclads were fourth in the- annual Washington Invitational, defeated Trinity in a dual engagement, and romped over Washington and Trinity in a triangular affair with 91 points. After defeating lDormont and IBaldwin in 3, triangular run, the: Gunners placed tenth in the W. IP. I. A. L. Cha-mDi0HShi1p 'meet at Connelsville. It was here that Ray Gess- ler set a new IC. H. iS. record for the :shot put. Banner tied for third ,place in the 440 yard dash. 'T-he track team had proved their worth. The y0UthS were praised by their coach and team followers for their excellent season which helped them to gain valuable experience against the finest of spring sport competitors.

S. wrestling coach, Phil Ahwesh, former star athlete at Canonsburg High, led his young grapplers through a typically sue- ' cessful season. Under his direction, the Canonsburg matmen won 14 meets and dropped only one to IVaynesburg. Wre'stli11g had been steadily gaining prestige here, and this year its pop- ularity overshadowed all-othfersports. For several home meets, HTTXIl13Tfy' bleachers were put up to accommodate the overflow crowds. s Every match was excitfng, and the 'great spirit and fight shown by the Gunners at Washington, Waynesburg a11d Chartiers was ,long to be remem- bered, Each of these meets was decided by the last two bouts. At the W. P. I. A. L. tournament held at Vtlaynesburg on March S-9, the Gunners placed second witlh 27 points, 2 less than IVaynesburg. Five lboys went into the finals with Haney, Bowman, Chemento, and Ogrodowshi twinning, w'hile Addis lost a close match to Bill Scott, Way11es'burg'is 165 lb. king. A week later at Penn State College, the four Gunners who qualified for the state meet were 'stopped short of the finals. Ogrodowski was dceisioned in the preliminarites, and Haney, Bow- man and Chemento were defeated in the semi-final bouts.

A team from each high school class partici- pated. The seniors won the elhamlpion- ship, but the other three classes showed stiff competition. At the end of the sea- son, an all-star team was formed, and it consisted ofthe best players from the jun- ior, sophomore, and freshmen teams. The winning senior team met the all-star team in a thrilling game. In the first half, the all-stars were the first to score, and they continued to hold the lead. .ii the third quarter, the seniors staged a comeback and tied the score. However, in the final quarter, the all-stars scored twice and won the game, 20 to 19. RECORD March 15- Seniors .....,.... ......,. 2 5 Juniors ...... Sophomores , ,,,,,,,,,,, 39 Freshmen .
