THLETWE' From September to May, athletics is as much a part of our lives as eating and sleeping.

Three shiny new trophies are proof-positive that our athletic teams did Well this year. But, win or lose, our sense of good sportsmanship and cooperation were the chief end-values of the athletic program in Cresson Ioint High School.
