This year, a football team was organized under Mr. Thomas Carr. For the first time in 23 years our school participated in this sport. Football was last played here in 1932 under Mr. Everett R. Hunter. Because of inexperience the team won only one game while losing Eve, but our boys showed great spirit and promise for future years. In November, Peter Wei'nett was chosen to represent us in the annual Panther Valley All Star game which was played in Lansford. The following boys will be lost to the squad through graduation this June: Donald Black, Rodger Horos, Marvin Hurley, Eugene Kissner and Peter Wernett.
