Kerner. To secure information concerning the phases of yearbook work, the staff members at- tended the Western Pennsylvania School Press Association Clinic at Langley High School early in October. Shortly afterwards, the combined Sylvan and Edgecator staffs produced an assem- bly to initiate their subscription campaigns. Encouraged and challenged by the first place rating given the T958 Sylvan in the PSPA critical contest, the staff, headed by Chris Jerns- tedt and Bill Townsend, editor and business man- ager, respectively, planned an agenda for the year that would result in a publication which would conform to all good yearbook standards in layout, copy, and photography. . gg.

In an efTort to achieve this goal, all three have had a very busy season. The quartet, The Presidents, has supplied varied programs for school, community, and city activities. Singing engagements have occupied much of their time and made it necessary for them to increase their repertoire. This year's Octet strived to supply music for various occasions. Singing at Cot Club, P.T.A., Fashion Show, Spring Concert and other social events in Edgewood kept the members busy with their obligations. The Junior Chorus, whose seventh and eighth grade members are being groomed for possible membership in the a Cappella Choir, has also provided much entertainment for the community.

Realizing the im- portance and demand for its services, the stage crew became an independent organization. Any rnale who is interested in learning the operations which go on behind the scenes of any production and who is willing to devote his time to performing these duties was eligible to ioin the stage crew. Improvements such as motorized screen, borders, idiots, and new curtains helped this nine-man crew, managed by Bruce Bowden, in their duties. Among the most serviceable of the crew's functions was its aid during the staging of as- semblies. The crew also labored long hours on sets such as a present day living room for the senior play, Father of the Bride, and those for the annual spring fashion show, Alice in Fash- ionland, produced by the home economics de- partment. 65 Stage Crew Row 3-T.

Developing basic theatrical skills ... in- creasing appreciation of the art of dramatic ex- pression and making available the oppor- tunity for each member to perform in some dra- matic area were the aims of the Dramatic Club. Through the co-operation of the adviser, Mrs. Charlotte McLain, the president, Chris Jerns- tedt, secretary, Mimi Thomas, treasurer, Carol Holt, and the program chairman, Robin Moss- man, programs were devised to cultivate interest in the art of dramatic expression. Club meetings on the fourth Monday of every month consisted Dramatic Club initiates programs to increase its members' activities of dramatic readings by members, movies, plays, and speakers. Dramatic readings given at many meetings enabled club members to develop skills. Practical experience was obtained by participa- tion in three student plays. The club adopted the idea of an apprentice point system whereby members might be rated according to their contributions to club activities. By this system, each member is an apprentice until he earns five points. These points were earned by participation in club activities and other theatrical productions in school.

Father of the Bride Meets With Approval After many weeks of backstage prepara- tion, memorizing lines, and careful rehearsals, the senior class presented Father of the Bride, a three-act comedy, on March 19 and 20. The play, based on a book of the same name, dealt with the frustrations faced by a family after their daughter has announced her engagement.

From the opening game with East McKeesport to the Class B playoff tussle with Montour, the Maroon and White proved their outstanding ability. Under the tutelage of Coaches Arthur Betts and George Rodgers, the powerful Vikings amassed a total of 325 points while limiting the opposi- tion to 38 points. Over the course of the nine game regular season schedule and the play-off game, Edge- wood High held six opponents, Verona, Sharps- burg, Millvale, Perryopolis, Trafford, and Salts- burg, scoreless. In the final three regular sea- son contests the Vikings averaged 46 points per game and finished by lambasting Saltsburg 56-0. After concluding an unmarred regular sea- son, the Maroon and White, under the Gardner Point System, earned the right to meet Montour High School for the WPIAL Class B football cham- pionship. Montour showed Class B supremacy with Avello the previous year. In the game, which was played at Dormont High School on November 14, Edgewood ceded to Montour 20-7. Montour scored early in the contest, but the Vik- ings came back to tie it up shortly before the half on a 21 yard aerial from Jack Huber to Ron Heller. Montour scored twice in the second half as the tide turned against Edgewood. 5 WMM 'Qu -'v nfs' :iz 3334 3 7 43 H, J '- .SJAV 5, A ,,,, A 4 , 5 , I -5 xp, f ', 'Ex 2 , 4' ,I f and , ii L fff, .

Coaches round the gridders info a winning squad The Vikings should be proud of a iob well done at Dormont, for during the course of the game Edgewood recovered four fumbles while Montour had previously fumbled only twice all season, and Montour allowed the Vikings the only touchdown pass scored against them in three years. Also Chuck Boir's interception of a Bill Kriger pass, Montour's outstanding quarter- back, was the only Kriger pass to be intercepted in three years. This season also uncovered several indi- vidual standouts. The backfield, consisting of Dick Dodez at fullback, John Brown at tailback, and Jack Huber at tailback, tallied 150 points with Dodez leading the way with 72. Huber and Brown also proved to be aerial threats as Brown connected for several touchdown passes and Huber hit on four. The forward wall also revealed many standouts. As captain, center Chuck Raisig led the team throughout the season. Raisig was not only a standout as center in of- fense and middle linebacker on defense, but he also kicked-off, punted, and connected on 32 extra points. End Ron Heller snared seven touch- down passes to lead the team in that department and also tie for second place for the scoring honors. At the close of the season Chuck Raisig and Ron Heller were honored as members of the All- WPIAL Class B first team. Although the preceding players received most of the attention, it takes eleven good play- ers to field a team of Edgewood caliber. Other key players were Richard De More and C. B. Johnston alternating at blocking back, Glenn Fleming and Don Jameson at the ends, George Lohman and Rich Lucidi at the tackles, Jim Gib- son, Howie MacKay, and Scott Verner at the guards, and Chuck Bair at first defensive half- back. At the annual football letter assembly, 24 letters were awarded, of that number eleven were seniors. an I 1 U T9 Varsity Basketball Row 2-G. Fleming, D. Jameson, R. Heller, P. McLain, R.

Edgewood cagers capture WPIAL section title Under the guidance of Coaches Arthur Betts and Thomas Pikunas, the 1958-59 varsity basket- ball squad brought the Section 16-B crown to Edgewood for the second time in three years as they posted a 7-3 section record. Edgewood was eliminated in the quarter finals of the WPIAL tourney by Avonworth, who went on to win the WPIAL title only to lose in the PIAA quarter finals. The Vikings opened the season by losing five of their first seven exhibition games. Over the Christmas holidays they placed third in the Sharpsburg Tournament, losing to McDonald in overtime 68-65 the first night, and then defeat- ing Snowden 55-58 in the consolation game. The Maroon went on to win two of the three remain- ing exhibition games, losing only to a strong Central Catholic team. January 2 saw the start of the section battle as Edgewood came from behind to down East Pittsburgh 60-54. The Vikings closed the first half of section play with a 3-2 record, while Traf- ford led with a 4-'I slate. In the second half of play, Edgewood defeated Trafford at Trafford and downed Export, who had previously beaten the Vikings, to capture the Section 16-B title. In the WPIAL tournament the Vikings faced the Avonworth Antelopes. Early in the second half Avonworth opened up an eleven point lead. The Maroon and White rallied as they drew to within three points twice, but the rally fell short at Avonworth clung to a 54-49 victory. This brought the Viking's season record to eleven wins and ten defeats. ,..Q 4' L lb 31' W '11-. 17121-f2 ., .,-. w U, ,wp 'X 3 I . K af . if 5655 ,.

Junior varsity completes near perfect season The Edgewood J.V.'s, under the tutelage of Thomas Pikunas, chalked up an outstanding rec- ord as they came through with seventeen wins against only one loss. The sole defeat was suf- fered at the hands of the Trafford J.V.'s at Traf- ford. The Junior Vikings started the season with a strong surge that carried them through fourteen consecutive victories before losing to Trafford. They completed the season with three victories over Franklin, Export, and East McKeesport. With Jerry Dilettuso, John Todd, and Scott Verner hitting from the outside and fastbreaking, and Howie MacKay and John Wickstrom snag- ging rebounds, the J.V.'s enjoyed a satisfying year. Comprised of an unusually strong group of sophomores and freshmen, the J.V.'s should pro- vide some excellent material for future Edge- wood High School basketball teams. J,V. Basketball Row 2-J.

Participation in activities results in poise, grace and posture Teaching the value of a healthy, well co- ordinated body, establishing desirable play atti- tude and habits, conducting intramural compe- tition, and developing good sportsmanship were the purposes of the Girls' Athletic Association. This sports program was sponsored by Miss Helen C. Cooper, who organized G.A.A. twenty-three years ago at Edgewood. Compiling many ideas and planning the sports program forthe year were the officers and representatives of the group, President Kitty Hughes, Vice-president Janet Earhart, Secretary- Treasurer Nancy Bell, and Student Council rep- resentative Merrily Bachman. The first event sponsored by the Girls' Ath- letic Association was the cookout, at which the freshman girls were initiated. The major pro- gram, which extends over a twelve week period, is the intramural program featuring volleyball and basketball tournaments. 80 Senior girl athletes plan for the meet at Mt, Lebanon Valiant Viking iunior varsity upsefs die-hard senior feam Composed of eleven homeroom teams, the intramural basketball league once again com- pleted a successful season. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Huffman, each team played ten games in the high school gym. The contests were played after school in series of two on days that the Edgewood High School varsity played away games. The highlight of the season came when a composite senior team played the Edgewood J.V.'s as a preliminary to the Edgewood Varsity- Alumni game. It was a close battle all the way as the seniors came from behind in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 33 all. This hard fought game ended with a 38-33 victory for the iunior varsity. f -A 17l Lord attempts spike in iump Locker room strategy before the Senior'Varsity game. Our Memories . . .
