gt. fe. gi. awww With a new coach, Mr. DeBlase, the J.B.J. Bears made new triumphs in their 1956-1957 Basketball Season. They have proved themselves a team our school can be proud of. Their final record ended with 9 wins and 13 losses. At least 3 of the losses were only by one or two points, which provided excitement for the fans. The team was made up of freshmen, sopho- mores, and iuniors--which meant that next year, with no number graduating, there is hope for a championship team. The team's 9 wins brought them to fourth place in the Somerset County B Leagues thus excelling 5 other schools for the position. This year's varsity managers were Nick Fetsko and George Zablotney. The Junior Varsity, coached by Mr. Moody, ended with a record of 4 wins and 17 losses. They proved to be eager and ambitious for many of them saw action in the Varsity games. Jr. High team, coached by Mr. Pike, ended its season with a 7 win, 6 loss record. Conemaugh Twp. Conemaugh Boro. Adams Twp. ,...,. . Conemaugh Twp. Meyersdale ..,....,.

School Spirit To our left we see our boys fighting to win a bas- ketball game, Above we see a screaming, enthusiastic segment of our student body cheering our boys on to victory. These two photographs attest to our school spirit in relation to athletic events. We are vigorous and full of zest as we follow our teams through their many struggles in the field of sports. But does this sum up our school spirit? Absolutely not! School spirit- real school spirit transcends the mere physical partici- pation in athletics. School spirit is a mood, a deep feeling indeed, an integral part of our very being. lt entails pride and respect. Pride in our individual and collective accomplishments, respect for our fellows, and, of course, self respect. lt entails, besides the deep in- herit respect for our school as a non corporeal entity, a natural respect for the physical plant which houses this institution. Our building is relatively new and our facilities are of the finest. We are happy and proud to have had these marvelous facilities for our use and our edification. We seniors are deeply grateful to have had these privileges granted us. Our sincere hope is that we have used these opportunities for our moral and social development and improvement. So, when we speak of school spirit, let us be ever mindful that this is not a tangible term to be applied to one specific area of activity. But, rather in its fullest sense and meaning it is the embodiment of all that is right and good, high and noble. 16
