They completed our science laboratory, until we now have one of the most modern in this area. New equipment was added to the Home Economics laboratory, with still more plans in mind for the future. The AAA Driver Educa- tion Course which they approved is one of great value to any future citizen. They purchased a lovely new piano for the audi- torium and magnanimously sponsored a profitable trip to New York for the officers and advisers of the publications. Throughout the year, Mr. Becker, president, Mr. Kifer, Vice- Presidentg Miss Jones, Secretary, Mr. Blair, Treasurer, and lVlr. Brown, newly-elected member, have again proven that the edu- cational future of Irwin High School has been placed in capable and interested hands. 8 Charles E, Blair Carl N Becker Winthrop B Brown John J Kifer,lVlargaretE ones PRIN.

His sense of justice and dem- ocratic procedure have been a source of inspiration and a challenge to both faculty and students. Under his admir- able leadership, the second successful year has been passed at Irwin High. Mr. James R. Dudley, Assistant Principal Where are you supposed to be? has sent many a would-be escapee scurrying back to class. lVlr. Dudley is a key-man with the never-ending job of keeping all of,IrWin's students, from seven to seventeen, out of trouble. He also serves as man-to-man adviser and completes his extremely busy schedule with several math classes. Mrs. Romayne Buckley, Secretaryi Why are you late ? brought a guilty look to many a late-comer's face. From being a sympathetic listener to supplying' everything from pencils to tardy slips are a few of the reasons why we think Mrs. Buckley is tops,-'fnot to mention her ability to keep everything under cont1'ol. 9 VOQVJLHZ James Balog . . .

Even then our future basketball champions were taking County hon- ors. Activities and sports were lively and in- teresting all year, but we also gave support to Norwin. We were led by oHicers Nick Fecko, Robert McGuire, and Ruth Hunt as president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively. Leading cast of the show 1945-46-As Sophomores we were thrilled to at last be a real part of Norwin. Big-eyed and big-hearted, we found our way into many ac- tivities. Forensic experience was gained by some that year along with more of the same in basketball. The Bi-Weekly, a short story booklet, and another Freshman-Sophomore Party were the highlights. The only new of- ficer was Louis Laffoon, president. 1946-47-As Juniors we began to feel like- ucheckersv being moved from one square to another when we came once more to the Irwin- school, our destined Alma Mater. Still in the dark about the court decision, football plans were abandoned. We made up for it, though, in basketball with the finest record possible. Not content with a W.P.I.A.L. victory, we tucked a bigger and better feather in our hat by winning P.I.A.A. Newspaper, forensics, and dramatics felt our eager grasp too. We especially enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom when we began the new tradition of crowning the Senior Queen in May. John Abraham, Tom Butler, and Pat Wyncoop held the reins as president, vice-president, and secretary, re- spectively. At the end of our first year at Irwin High School we were a very happy and successful class. President JAY CORBETT , Vice-President THOMAS BUTLER Secretary PATRICIA WYNcooP Adviser M Rs, Nnscorr 1947-48-As Seniors we drew a big breath and began our last year of fun, hard work, and triumphs. Jay Cobbett was chosen as presi- dent, while Tom and Pat were again vice-' president and secretary. The 6'Round-Up and Carillon were the Hrst ventures of the year, and between the two, many students could be seen pushing pencils and collecting money. Forensics, dramatics, and music still held our interests. Basketball was immortal- ized again with two more championships of W.P.I.A.L. and P.I.A.A. Ten trophies will be left as an everlasting reminder of our great team. To leave Irwin High will be hard, but happy memories will stay with us as we eager- ly look forward to a bright future.

BOWERS Mr. Bowers' time has been fully occupied this year with so many busy juniors. Room num- ber 21 was always buzzing with business meet- ings, treasury reports, and new ideas. Led by three efficient oflicers, Dave Tornbloom, Presi- dent, Dean George, Vice-President, Sally Jen- nings, Secretary, the class embarked on many new projects and always landed successfully. In November, the class sponsored a Farm Frolic which included side shows, a fortune teller, a cake walk, a jitterbug contest, and dancing to records. Throughout the year the juniors con- tinued making headlines by holding socials and selling emblemed T-shirts to the students. The class was proud to include in their ranks many of the basketball team. Bob Cervi, Dean George, Bill Goras, Ronnie Mowery, and Dick Schade were on the varsity squad and Fred Mc- Cormick was on the junior varsity. As a man- ager Dave Tornbloom spent many hours helping the players. Three of our energetic cheerleaders Betty Lou Campbell, Dolores Heighes, and Bar- bara Millen were juniors. Marching ahead of the band were the majorettes. Irma Yates, led the band, and Dorothy Allan, Mary Ann Boyle, Mar- jorie Carolan, Catherine Cyphertf Mary Lou Hunt and Patricia Plues followed her, twirling their batons with perfect precision. Many more of the class distinguished themselves as members of the band, orchestra, musical choruses and clubs. Shirley Mackay, Norma Hasselberg and Pete Nauman were the maestros of the Class. In May, the juniors sponsored the annual junior-Senior Prom. This year the dance fea- tured Jimmy Burnelli's orchestra. At the event, the senior queen was crowned. This year, the junior class has proven itself capable and worthy to assume the duties of the senior class next fall. Each and every one of them has taken his or her part in the activities of this school and shouldered their responsibilities with a smile. We are proud of them and wish them an even more successful senior year.

With Albert Viziola and class president, Richard Painter, vice-presi- dent and Dolores Hopkins, secretary, all little, but lively sophomores, the class had a highly suc- cessful year. The most important accomplish- ment of these oflicers was their development of the homeroom programs, a new addition to our curriculum. These discussions centered about boy and girl social problems and the officers did remarkably well in making these programs interesting. The sophomores are a versatile group and a few of their names could be found listed under nearly every school activity, from sports to home economics. Outstanding in scholarship were: Dean Nei- man, Don Adams, Ethel Sandson and Lurana Heidbreder.

Preceding the band when it marched were John Richards and Paul Simpson as color bearers, while leading the band were two of our highstepping majorettes, petite Lois Mont- rose and lively Dolores Ray, twirling their batons. Other sophomores contributed their varied talents to music groups, home economic clubs, Forensics and Round-Up Staff. In the spring the class joined with the fresh- men for the traditional Freshman-Sophomore Party. There were records for dancing and lots of refreshments. We are proud of the record made by these sophomores this year and we hope they will con- tinue to make even better ones. UM gl'65 WZZIZ Q55 OFFICWERS Prerident .....,..

They were happy because they were at last in high school regardless of the added work and responsibilities. Always Ending time for laughs and good times, wholeheartedly joining many high school activities, freshmen could always be found handy. Some of these energetic students were Nick Gelis and George Solomon who both added zest to our Jay Vee team. Sparks on the praiseworthy Junior High Basketball team were Dick Cummings, Carl Dean Davis, Eddie Jennings, Norbert Ackerman, and Maynard Kemerer. Forensics, band' chorus, F.H.A. all had freshmen included on their rolls. Joining the honor roll rank were David Barnard, Carla Norberg, and Evanna Heidbreder. Norbert Ackerman, class president, Carl Dean Davis, vice-president, and Catherine Beter, secretary all showed fine leadership in the student council and were ready to offer good suggestions to improve our school. Being Z1 part of Junior High, too, they helped organize and participate in a Hallowelen party in October for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grad- ers. The gym was decorated with orange stream- ers, pumpkins, and cornstocks and everybody came in colorful costumes. Dancing to records, prizes for the best costumes and a Cakewalk re- sulted in an evening of fun for all. During the year separate assemblies have been held for the Junior High and our gifted ninth graders have been leaders in these, too. Their musical as well as speaking talent has added pleasant variety to the programs. In every phase of school life the freshmen were interested and we are sure their enthusiasm and willingness to serve will help maintain high standards of citizenship in our school.

Junior High had an excellent basketball team this year with Bill Carl- son, Bob Unrue, Bob Richards, and Edwin An- thony contributing their bit. Two energetic cheer- leaders from this class were Betty Astley and Arlene Kemerer. These girls helped to urge the team on to fourteen victories. Many students from this class attended the senior high socials. They also had at few of their own parties, one of which was a skating party. Excellent participation was shown in assembly programs and eighth grade leadership was greatly appreciated. The girls in the class took an active part in the Junior Girls Chorus and worked dili- gently the entire year. Both, boys and girls, took an active part in the exciting intramural games. The class is looking forward with great an- ticipation to next fall when they will take their places as Freshman in their First year as high school students. fha Cgiqkfk ra e OFFICERS Prerident ...........

The daily routine, activities and social life of their hrst year of junior high school were full of thrills for all of these eager seventh graders. Credit is due them for their contributions to all phases of school life. The main ones, scholar- ship and athletics had a generous share of these students. Nancy Kooser, Edward Siegle, Mar- lene Gordon, and Carol Rainey were on the honor roll. As basketball drew keenest interest in junior high too, they had fine future Lettermen. Gerald Gongaware, Robert Schiavo, Robert McFarland, Donald Good and Edward Siegle dribbled, jumped and shot like future champions. We are looking forward to having them on the varsity as they have made a fine start. ffm Seventh ra e OFFICERS Prexident ...,........ WILLIAM S'rUBBs Vice-Prefident ,....

Always active, this class cooperated with all the school socials and had a few of their own. Skating was ideal fun to them, so they planned a skating party with the eighth grade. Music was another attraction. The band and girls' chorus enrolled many of them. They insure an even larger and more excellent music future for Irwin High School. Junior F. H.

To build a better world Ready I must be In the place where life doth find me Holding fast yet pushing on Into glorious adventure You and I and God. The above is the code of the Tri-I-li-Y which is symbolic of the club as a whole. To create, maintain, and extend throughout the community, high stand- ards of Christian character is the club purpose. A covered dish supper was held in the Home Ec. room at the beginning of the school term by ofhcers, chairmen, and adviser to make plans for the coming year. Some of the social events discussed at this meeting included the annual Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, a game night, a swimming party, and a talfy pull that was held at Lois Sensenich's home. Under the capable leadership of Miss Jones last yearys members drew up a lively initiation for the new members, which pro- vided amusement for the whole school. One of the outstanding events of the year took place in the Spring of '47, At this time induction of officers was held at the Mother and Daughter banquet. Those who were installed as ofhcers were as follows: President, Gladys Clarke, Vice President, Pat Wyncoopg Recording Secretary, Tillie Jenningsg Correspond- ing Secretary, Rita Gorman, Treasurer, Bette Siebert. 33 ill. ..

To create, maintain and extend through out the school and community high standards of Christian character and better living are the purposes of the Hi-Y of Irwin High School. Members endeavor through the years to live up to their motto Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship and Clean Scholarship. In the fall the new members were taken into the club at a regular meeting. Before they were inducted their new members were put through quite a stiff initia- tion by the older ones. After the ceremonies, the boys played basketball and were served refreshments in the home economic room. Often put on their own responsibilities the boys proved that they were capable of accepting leadership. They had game nights, went swimming, sponsored socials and had a basketball team with which they scheduled games with other Hi-Ys. To solve their financial problems, the boys sold Irwin High School basketball pins at the beginning of the season. Serving as adviser was Mr. George Bowers, who did a good job. .Tom Butler, ably led the club as president and was assisted by Bill Scheuerle, yice-president, Roy Ferguson, secretary, Melvin Lucas, treasurer and Bob Ludwig, sergeant at arms. 34 orelzsics 6112 01' LLWL NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE-A proud and active NFL chapter, under the direction of Mrs. Lewis Nescott, doubled its membership this year and provided speaking experience in public for forty students.

Looking forward to a few more years in their club, these girls can be sure of more good times and useful services. ommerciaf . . . Copied the script The first meeting of the Commercial Club was called in October by the adviser, Miss Grifliths. The oflicers elected were: Tillie Jennings, President, Sally Jen- nings, Vice-President, Dolores Hopkins, Secretary, Kathleen Dillon, Treasurer. The girls planned such projects as: mending toys to brighten up Christmas Day for less fortunate children, and visiting the various business schools of Pittsburgh to aid the girls in choosing the right one. Many clever ideas revealed the versatil- ity of these girls in the social and Get-Together Party sponsored by the club. Each were outstanding events of the year. When it came their turn for an assembly program, they responded with a Comical Quiz Program, much to the delight of the student body and faculty. The financial cares of the club were taken in stride by the dues that were paid monthly. On the whole, both the adviser and girls think that it has been a successful and pleasant year, and shall be remembered as an experience both beneficial and wholesome. . ham, Melvin Lucas 37 BACK Row: Mi-ss Griflith J ny Mae Springer Joanne Loughner, Lorraine Shellgren Irma Yates, Ruth Cook Sally Jennings, Eva Marie Scherpf Dolores Bertolina, Tillie nings, Grace Sloan Dolore Ray, Jane Errett, Mary Ann Boyle, Corrinne Raver Cor della Campbell, Rita Gorman SECOND Row: Maureen Ped ley, Naomi Good, Norma Ast ley, Mary Lou Hunt Cath erine Cyphert, Dorothy Detar Kathleen Dillon, Betty Lou Campbell, Dolores Hopkins FIRST Row: Ronald Mowery Margaret Keller, Thelma Gor dan, Margery Carolan Pat ricia Plues, Louise Brown Edith Youngstead, John Abra Z Vdfy i es . . .

Under the supervision of Mr. Clawson, students from the senior class started their training. The streamlined Chevrolet Was given to the school by the A. A. A. White Beautyf, which is a dual control car with a double clutch and brake, received its name from the girl students. Each student had to spend thirty- six hours in the classroom and thirty-two hours in the car. For driving, the class was divided into groups of four. Fifteen minutes of every hour spent in the car, was alloted to each driver. The only requirements for taking the course were that the students must have a driver's permit and a written permit from their parent or guardian. The patient and careful supervision of Mr. Clawson resulted in the development of eflicient and safe drivers. By introducing this course We have made the community safer and helped prevent accidents. 39 xcic Row: Dolores Heighes, Gladys Clarke, Ruth Stitt COND Row: Barbara Millen, Shirley lVlacKey, Norma Hassel- rg RST Row: Lois Sensenich, Nancy Newell, Bette Seibert 0C6L VOLLQUS BACK Row: David Williams, Peter Nauman, Robert Lud- wig, Dolores Heighes, Shirley Mackey, William Scheuerle, Barbara Millen, Dante Ber- tani, Ann Schnurr, Marian Leffler, Dean George, Dean Shaffer.

These girls practiced with lVliss Carroll in odd moments and were asked many times during the year to participate in various programs. 'lihey sang for the Irwin Women's Club Christmas pro- gram, a convention of prominent schoolmen of Westmorelalid County held here at Irwin High, and for the student assemblies, These girls will- ingly offered their abilities and we are grateful to them for their beautiful harmonies. A CAPlfl,l,A-livery fourth period Monday the music room resounded with the deep voices of the fellows combined with the high clear ones of the girls. lr was the a cappella, practicing under the direction of lVliss Carroll. This newly created club resulted from insistent requests from several of our boys. Clay Stahl was elected pres- ident and he proved himself to be a capable leader. The group made a line start and we en- courage them to have even more successful years. LVL? Gk0l LL5Z5 ' ' ' al-Iour of Charmi' SENIOR CHORUS-4'Let's do that again, girls, was a familiar remark of Miss Carrollls when directing the Senior Girls' Chorus. Perfection in harmony, diction and clear tones were Miss Carroll's aims and the girls responded to the challenge of attaining these goals with alacrity. An example of this willingness was the girls, coming to school every VVednesday morning at eight o'clock to prac- tice diligently for an hour. 'lihe chorus's president was Gladys Clarke, while Dolores Heighes and Bette Siebert assisted her as group leaders. 'l'he girls did some line singing at Christmas time for the school's Yuletide program. VVe hope their spirit of perfection wil continue to prevail among those girls who will carry on the musical group. BALK Row.

Wlith a co-operating spirit that was inspiring they gathered once every week during lunch hour in Miss Carrollls room and prac- ticed. Marian Lel'l'ler was their erhcient president. Waiicla llughes and Ann Schnur, acting as group leaders, lightened her load. Wlieii the Junior' High had a Lincoln Day Assembly the chorus helped to commemorate that president's birth- day by chanting The Gettysburg Address. We admire the accomplishments of this chorus and Wish them even more success in coming years. 41 602 , , , ullflarching along togetherl' MAJORBTTlfSfSpirited majorettes added jest and sparkle with their tricky steps.

BAND- All right, letls get quiet so we can start. With these words the band director, George Weaver, began band practice every Monday night. Mr. Weaver has the valuable assistance of his father, James Weaver, who was in charge of the beginner's department. Snappy new blue and gold uniforms helped the band to make a smooth ap- pearance in addition to a hne performance. Paradiii on Memorial Day, when Governor Duff came to town, the businessmen's Christmas parade and several other annual affairs saw Irwinls quick step matching all others.

Norma llasselberg presided over the nine members as President this year. Although usually seen at assemblies, grad- uation and special night events, operettas also always found the orchestra on hand to lend a blending background. Hymns, overtures, recessionals and marches brought admiring applause from the audience. If the occasion ever arose, Miss Carroll could easily direct these musicians into the lighter type of music, also. A piano, violin, cello, bass fiddle, trumpet, and four clarinets could all be heard prac- ticing fourth period every Thursday. A busy organization like it, should be heard even more often next year by the students. DANCE ORCHESTRA-'lio swing it out was the aim of the jazz band inaugurated this year at lrwin l-ligh. Playing the latest popular songs, the well- rounded band consisted of a piano, two tubas, two alternate drummers, two trom- bones, three trumpets, three saxophones, two clarinets and a vocalist. Bright blue and gold music stands, painted by a few members, had the letters I. B. on them. The Holiday Hangover and several other socials were the occasions when their 'I-clip and twirl music was directed by George Vlleaver. These sixteen musical Knights worked hard to make their music hep.

Two plays and one operetta prove this statement. In December, One Wilcl Night, a farce with a cast of fifteen seniors and six juniors, was exactly what the name implied. During the Christmas season, an all-school operetta, Here Comes Santa, was produced. 'lialents from all grades were con- tributed for its success.

Adviser, Miss Gallagher chose Bill Scheuerle and Norma Hasselberg as co-editors, and Jack Dgun as busi- ness manager. To have enough material and have the paper out on time were the responsibilities of the editors while Jack had the job of keeping the accounts in order and getting enough money to pay the bills. Bette Siebert's, Lindy Ackerman's and Barbara Millen's duties were to write the regular features. Lois Sensenich was circulation manager. She and Cordellia Campbell did much to obtain advertisements, too. The clever cartooning that drew so much attention to the Round-Up was done by Dolores Heighes. At the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference at New York in March, Miss Gallagher and the two editors proudly received a bronze certificate award.

Televised and recorded our story Get those write-ups inlw reverberated through the very walls of Irwin High this year. The familiar cry was heard from the lips of adviser Mrs. Hamilton and editor Gladys Clarke whose responsibility among other things was to edit write- ups. Mrs. Staulfer helped Nancy Newell draw '6Mike', and the other illustrations so well, while Miss Griffiths supervised the typing. Marvin Berk held the financial reins as business manager and his spurring made sure that the Hscal worries of the Carillon were taken care of. Making sure that the picture being snapped was arranged correctly, was .lay Cobbettls and Lois Sensenich's job. Ruth Stitt acted as assistant-editor and as the year progressed the radio themen fell smoothly into place. The common use of the name l'lilltop,' and the actual position of the school convinced this yearls seniors that the name of the yearbook should be changed. After debating these two proffered names, Carillon'l and Round-Table were act- ed upon by the Student Council. As the school seal is a bell and Carillon,, means musical bells, they chose it as the new name.

After dropping two games to Duquesne and Wilkinsburg, the Rosemen made a spectacular comeback to win 26 straight games, the longest win streak in the state. This year much weaker opposition was met in section play due to our being changed to section 16. In order to strengthen the team Coach Rose played several powerful Class A and B teams, including Duquesne, last year's Class A State Champions. The exhibition game at Donora, which went into overtime, proved to be the thriller of the season. The most powerful team to beat in the section was the Derry Boro Rams. , The Knights began their W.P.1.A.L. campaign by beating Saltsburg in an easy opener 57-34. Freeport, one of the strongest opponents encountered in the entire tourney, fell in their path, 46-31, as did Vernon, 44-31. In the W.P.1.A.L. final, the Robinson Twp. team proved no match for the high scoring Knights and bowed 53-38. This was the first game that Dick Schade missed in his two seasons as a member of the team. Representing District 7 in the P.l.A.A. tourney the Rosemen walked over a weak Stoneycreek Twp. five, 60-31. Then they travelled to Farrell to meet Kane in the Western Regional Championship. It was a hard fought battle all the way but the accurate shooting of long shots proved too much and Kane went down the same as their predecessors 56-38. The game-of-gamesv then followed. Twice in two years the Knights had a crack at the coveted honor and twice they came through. Again Irwin was de- serted as 700 loyal fans made the trip to Lancaster to see their team beat a scrappy Bridgeport five 49-34. This year Irwin received another honor by being the first team in this district to have its games broadcast over the radio. Losing all but one member of the Hrst five may hurt the Knights some but they can look forward to a favorable season next year due to experience of the boys not graduating this year. 52 C0 RT HEROES Joi-IN ABRAHAM-'iYonkl'-Senior . . . had that dead eye again this season, scored 432 points . . . fast and tricky, excellent dribbler, loved to steal the ball.

In sec- tion play they lost three While winning nine to finish in second place. In exhibition games they were beaten by a strong Wilkinsburg team twice but only by one point in the second game. After they had beaten North Irwin by seven points in the season opener the teams again met and it was really a game with Irwin coming out on top by one point. Schiavo and Ackermann led in the scoring with one hundred and forty-two points apiece while Davis was third with one twenty-five. The future members of the Knights gave us many laughs as well as some exciting basketball before the varsity games. This year the Junior Varsity had a record of 10 wins and 12 losses, but with a little more experience they should help to form a good varsity team in years to Come. Mem'bers of the team are: DEAN NEIIVIAN-Captain and playmaker all through the season. NICK GELIS-Lead the team in rebounding, an- other Cervi. ALBERT VIzIoI.A - Short but scrappy guard, should have a good future because of a dead eyef, FRANK STRATToN-Held down the forward spot, liked to shoot over-the-head shots.

Last year lrwin High started a new sport. A meeting called to discover likely members found enough interested to start a Golf Club. Under the supervision of Mr. Clawson, try-outs were held at the Irwin Country Club. It was decided, that the boys were not ready for the competition of their section, which includes La- trobe, Greensburg, and Jeannette. Ever since, they have been practicing to improve their drive and hope by next year to offer some pretty stiff competition to the opposing teams. .E.Zff6l'l'l'Z6IZ Sports names to remember SECOND Row: Cleft to righthz Bert Smith, Robert Cervi john Abraham, R i c h a r d Qchade, Dean George, Robert Ludwig, Robert M c G u i r e.

Organized but a year previous this club included former Norwm lettermen and Junior High lettermen. This year it consisted largely of boys who had earned their letters by playing for, or managing our basketball team. The clubls func- tions are promotion of good, clean sportsmanship and sponsoring social events. Its chief activity was the staging of the annual Lettermen,s Ball. This year's Ball preparations were directed by the following Chairmen and their committees: John Abraham, Publicityg Robert Ludwig, Decorations, David Sam, Orchestra, Bert Smith, Tickets. Harry Petz and his symphonettes were chosen to furnish the music for this gala affair. The attractive display of trophies Won in the last two years was the main decoration. Proceeds of the Ball were used to finance a Lettermenls Party held at the close of the school year. In order to raise funds, the Lettermen sponsored a dance at the beginning of the year with records supplying the music. Oflficers elected were John Abraham, president, Robert McGuire, vice-presi- dentg Ronald Movvery, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Rose was again appointed as club adviser. 57 lIIIRIJ Row: Ruth Stitt, Naomi flood, Harhara Nlil- lnn, Sally liorh, l.insly Xekernian, Norma llasselherg, vlores lleighes.

'llo start the pro- gram, Mr. Rose introdueed arehery for the sec- ond year. 'llhe girls met twiee a week and went down to the lrwin Playgrounds to try their skill on the hull's-eye. hlushhall this year was rained out. 'llhere were two teams eaptained hy l.ouise Brown and Gladys Clarke, hut every time a game was sehed- uled it would rain so the girls had to play all their mushhall in the gym. 'llhe most popular game of the year was has- liethall. 'llhere were two teams this year eap- tained hy Cordellia Camphell and l,ois Sensen- it-Ii. 'llhe season ended with the Senseniehites heating the Camphellites live wins to their three. ln the early spring the girls enjoyed intra- mural volleyhall and a ping pong tournament. Boys In the fall, football and softball were played for a short time until the basketball practicing season arrived. Basketball is the all star sport in Irwin High. Three teams captained by Bob Lud- wig, Bob Becker and Bert Smith competed for championship during the noon hours. Ludwig's team took first place, Smith's second and Becker's third. After our victorious varsity basketball sea- son, even more interest was aroused. A foul shooting contest resulted in Dave Iornbloom having high score in the senior high and lfdwin Anthony in junior high. ' In the spring volleyball and other seasonal sports were played. Sports continue through va- cation under the supervision of Mr. Rose on the Irwin Playground. MANAGERS-'l'he Knights had three hard-working managers this year, who played nursemaid to them every minute. ,lunior David lornbloom was the official ankle-wrapper, and Robert Becker was official towel-throwerf' and Bert Smith was the score-keeper. These last two were seniors and had just completed two years of faithful work. As long as there are boys like these to carry on, the team will always be well cared for. Cheerleaders nv l'We've got the pep, we've got the steam! and they certainly did. VVhenever seven or eight Hashes of gold and blue streaked out on the floor, the morale of Irwin High students went up an- other notch. Variety in motions was their spe- cialty, and the clever ideas and new cheers that they produced were really something to see and hear. Wezither never stopped them from follow- ing the team and no matter how they got there or how many fans were at a game, they never failed the Knights.,' Head cheerleader VVilliam Scheuerle did a good job of keeping the morale up. He and the other seniors, Rita Gorman, Cor- dellia Campbell, and Gladys Clarke laid their uniforms away with a deep sigh of regret. Jun- iors, Barbara lVlillen, Betty Lou Campbell, and Dolores Heighes are happy as they look forward to another year of cheerleading. 'llhe lrwin com- munity will remember for many a year, the pleas- ure given them by this fine group of students. Kefeviews The new lookf' HWIIQ, me?
