Teams Into Action The cheerleaders, always an asset to our school, have contributed even more to its honor and prestige this year. Aside from their partici- pation at football and basketball games and their leadership at pep rallies, an important part of school life, they set a good example ol' spirit and sportsmanship for the student body at these events. Long hours of summer practice, as well as practice nearly every day after school, were included in the time the girls spent preparing and perfecting their cheers. 'l'l1Cy also very ably headed a club which met alter school for the purpose ol' training future cheerleaders. At the suggestion ol Miss XVatson, who was more than just a sponsor to them, they attended a cheer- leaders' contest held at Mount Lebanon High School where they competed with cheerleaders lrom twenty-nine other schools. Their originality and precision earned them a trophy and second place in the contest. These girls have set a standard that will be hard to match by cheer- li-aders in years to come. M.-XRGIE MCL.-XUGHLIN Margie was the peppiest and most spirited of the girls. -M--+ ...gnhx sd...-uni l.liNORli HICKIQY l.enore's big smile added sparkle to all the cheerleaders. MARY LOU DELSARDO Mary Lou was a very capable head cheer- leader of whom we are very proud.

Might Oaks From Little Acorns Grow This year thirty boys got their first taste of rough, tough football under the guidance of Mr. Volkavich, the freshman coach, who spared nothing in whipping them into shape. Along with the bumps, bruises, and broken bones was sprinkled a wealth of experience and sportsman- ship which will prove invaluable in their three remaining years of football for Dormont. The freshman record of two wins and .four losses shows that they have begun to work as a team and are well on their way to learning the finer points of football. They have learned to put the strategies taught on the practice field into play under pressure in actual games. As we watch their improvement, we hope they will continue to be a source of pride to Dormont and to grow successfully from the acorns of a freshman team to the mighty oaks of the Varsity. 1 4 Row 3: Mr. Volkavich, Coachg D.

Instead, it is one marked by hard playing and an astonishingly high number of two and three point losses. The first few games seemed to set the pace for th a few mid-season of Peters Twp. and e others with the exception of games. Nl-'e won the last two the exhibition games easily with Bethel and YVCIII O11 to H1146 the fll'Sll two league games with Trinity and Burgettstown. Canonsburg spoiled the winning streak, resulting in our having only four of our games in the win column at the end of the season. Every season, in spite ol' its record, is valuable. l'Vith the ex- perience the boys have gained this year and through profiting from the mistakes they have made, our team should forge ahead to bigger and better things next year.
