TRACK MEET The track meet this year was delayed for two days because of the rainy weather we'd been havingg but Monday, May 7, 1945, was a-swell, sunshiny day, and so the faculty decided to hold it. They were all out there helping to judge the events ,too. We'll give you the high lights of the boy's events first. Dave Weitzenhoffer Cjuniorl, who goes in for planes, really proved his flying ability by taking first place in the broad jump. ln the high jump Buseck tseniorl had some real competition from a lightfooted freshman, Wayne Wilkinsg but he came out first, leaving second place to his rival, Lewis Walter fsophomorel showed his landing ability in the pole vault pit after crossing the bar at a height of eight feet to a winning finish. His opponnent, Bill Weislogel, was somewhat taken by surpriseg but he lost to a good man. The junior boys came in first in the relay race, and Iohn Bausch, a fast sophomore, took the half-mile race. Our muscle man, Weislogel, also a sophomore, sent the iron ball to a distance of 4l feet 2 inches in the shot put, topping all other contestants. In the finals, however, when the points were totaled, the boy's track letter went to Keith johnson, a senior who really had stayed in there through all the events, and had got one fourth of a point more than last year's .track letterman, Bill Weislogel, The girl's part of the meet began with the fifty-yard dash which was taken over by Flossie Hinkle ffreshmanl, a directly smart kid who didn't wear shoes. 'llhey had a swell lineup of beautiful babesg but we'd better pass on. High jumping was the next event. All the classes started out well, and the sophomores ended that way with Phoebe Aulenbacher displaying her skill. After the sophomores and freshmen had both won, the seniors and juniors decided they'd better start pitching. ln the ball throw they did, Man, you'd never guess those girls had muscles like that. April l-linkle took the honorsg in thatg she could really heave it. But we're back to the sophomores again. Good for them and more power to 'em. The girls' hundred-yard dash started off with a bang and ended with Phoebe, natch. She's good! The broad jump came up next with Cooper landing on her stomach to help start things off. But it was finished with a tie between Arlene Wiggins tseniorl and Marilyn Miller fjuniorl. After that, all the girls felt like a nice hike, but in a hurry. So the quarter-mile dash was on Flossie took this one over, too. She really runs beau- tifully. The girl's relay was last, and it didn't get off to a very good start. In fact, it didn't end very well either. One of the girls didn't come in at all and another was rather lateg but the freshmen were still going strong and came up with the glory. As a whole, the meet was very close and a lot of fun for everyone. The girl's track letter was given to Phoebe Aulenbacher with 12 points. The class honors went to the seniors, who were closely pursued by the sophomores. Congratulations to the winners! -RUTH BARKER and HOWARD ROBISON. Page 39

Home. October 19. 1945. Girard 0: Fairview 7. The Tigers upset their traditional rivals today for the first time since 1941. The crowd of spectators watched this long-awaited game with great anxiety, as the Tigers scored in the early part of the first quarter and held the Yellow Iackets back through the remainder of the fast moving game. The scoring was done by Dick Walker, the Tigers' alert quarterback, who managed to score both the touchdown and the extra point with an end run. Home. October 24. 1945. Conneautville 0: Fairview 7. Another victory came today to the Tigers as they defeated Conneautville, a newcomer, by seven points. The first two quarters were a running battle between the two teams, with neither being able to score. ln the third quarter, however, Iohnny Bausch passed the ball to Dick Walker who carried it over for the only touchdown of the game. Weislogel secured the extra point with an end run. Away. November 2. 1945. Cambridge Springs 12: Fairview 34. The Tigers' 1945 football season came to a close today with the team defeating the Cambridge Springs team 35 to 12. The game was well played with both teams full of fight. The Tigers led throughout the game although in the last period t'he Spa let go with two surprising passes which tallied 12 points to their good. Iohnny Bausch made a fine sixty-five-yard dash, after intercepting a pass, and secured the final score of the game. The 1945 football season turned out to be quite successful for Coach Timmons and the Fairview Tigers although they were not able to win the championship. They have an up-and-coming group for next year which has the makings of C1 champion team. Good luck, fellows. -PAT ROBISON. The football season closed with the annual football banquet which was held in the school gymnasium and sponsored by the Parent Teachers Association, The Reverend Ivan O. Wilson gave the blessing. This was followed by Mr. Lawrence's leading the group in a few songs. A large part of the program, of course, was the meal served by the senior girls who brought in the delicious roast beef din- ner with all the trimmings. After this fine food, Mr. Lawrence gave everybody a chance to breathe as they sang more songs. Then our toastmaster, Dick Walker, introduced Mr. Bloom, our new principal, and Mr. Holland, president of the school board. After they had each spoken a few words, Mr. Bloom in turn introduced Dick Walker, the captain for 1945, who spoke for the squad. The co-captains for the following year, Wilbur Grubbs and Bill Weis- logel, both gave speeches, too. Following them was Coach Timmons who awarded football letters to: Richard Walker, Carl Guy, Edward Yarrington, Howard Robison, Harold Downey, Iohn Bausch, Wilbur Grubbs, Edward Leopold, Willard Weislogel, Robert Walker, Lewis Walter, Gerald McCray, Iohn Walker, Wayne Wilkins, David Yarrington, and Angelo Massello. After the presentation of the letters the banquet program was brought to a close by motion pictures: the first one on boxing, the second on bowlingg and the third on the Army and Navy game of 1943.
