A THLE TI CALL Y C. H S. has been among the top schools in every phase for the year, 1952-53. The Sons of Sparta have written records down in the books that will stand for some time. Second in football, first in basketball, and better than average in track, baseball, golf and tennis has put some fear into the opponents when they hear the Word Conncrsvillc, for the first time in many moons. Our hats go off to guys like Ken Gunning, lim I Iunt, Howard Plough, Harry Brandley, and Charlie Heck for a job well done. For you fellows have not only taught your protcges how to Win, but how to lose and take it on the chin. You have instilled in your players this excellent bit of verse: For when the one great scorer Comes to mark against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, But how you played the game. .,.
