They do not reveal, however, the teeming activity within-the twofthousand students, the halffhundred faculty members and executives who make it their livelihood for nine months of every year and the thousand and one joys, sorrows, and secrets that course through its veins causing this impassive structure to seethe with mixed emotions which the ordinary passerby does not perceive. Yet, upon closer scrutiny, the public does share our teeming activities. During the past school term, hundreds of interested athletic followers watched our Wolverines fight to victory or defeat. Many dramaticallyfminded citizens came to enjoy the productions of our Thespians. Several thous' and music lovers thronged through this doorway to the auditorium to listen to well-executed renditions of great classic music by one hundred and eighty band members of the MidfWestern Music Association. These-all these are the outward performances enjoyed by the ordinary passerby. But to the understanding observer within-the impressions made by classroom discussions between teacher and students, the real ties of friendship and confidences of classfmatesg the silent dreams and plans made by boys and girls in idle moments-these are the influences which will make Lincoln High students take their places honorably in future conquests at home and abroad. .

We Honor . Our Defenders Ellwood City Honor Roll April3,1944 . . . 20-19names, 18 in gold. CENTRALLY located on our main street stands a beautifully illuminated Honor Roll-our Honor Roll we can call it, because a large portion of the twofthousand names are Lincoln High graduates. They went when duty called: To Africa and Italy, to England, to Alaska even to the far distant islands of the Paciizic. Short months ago, it seems to us, these names-our boys-played on Wolverine teams, laughed at old jokes, worked on Math problems for hours and hours and jived at school parties. They went that we might continue to enjoy these pleasures of our everyday routine. We like to think that Lincoln High School has had a definite influence on each boy's life. We like to know that when a Lincoln High boy is home for a few days leave, he plans to see his friends and teachers and to roam the halls again. Or we like to learn from a boy's letter that his thorough knowledge of Chemistry is helping him in a Chemical Warfare Course, or his remembrance of a literary map in Adventures in English is helping him to enjoy his five day furlough in England. Yes, we read the long rows of names, some friends, some brothers and reading them, we Wish them well. Some have been killed and eighteen gold plaques mark their places-we halt in reading and are solemn, and reverent. And so, may we resolve, like them, to do our part: be it humble or great-here or on far flung battle fronts. if 'k 'k ik ir 'Ir 'A' 'lr 'k 'Ir uk 'A' pi 4 , af e N A1 .hs r 5,4 v V gm L 5, we - -1 ' lf f 'A p..,,.x+, +,.ig,,f-1:,,'QQ'r!2.'.4: .ax W, , .1 ,wr f' ' ' ff5'L'1T' af' - m ,T 'Z . f ' K 7 W' Sf' ' . 1 A 5 - ' W L- ' .

Mr. Hancher was born in Noble County, Ohio, sixtyflive years ago. He was an officer of the Citizens' Bank, an elder in the United Presbyterian Church, and a Kiwanian. Few students except the treasurers of organizaf tions ever came into close contact with Mr. Hancher, but those who did, were impressed by his kindly, genteel manner, his sense of humor and his willingness to assist in making our funds balance. MR. J. A. EVANS J. A. Evans, a well known civic leader, died April 9, 1944 at his home on Pittsburgh Circle, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. Mr. Evans was born in 1867 in Ellwood City. For some twenty years he was a member of the Board of Education, serving as President a number of times. Mr. Evans gave unstintedly of his time for a modern and economical school system. He was very proud of the school's extra-curricular activities, especially athletics. He was interested in promoting spelling and provided prize money for the best spellers last year. He also was proud of the school's public address system and other modern equipment. Mr. Evans was closely associated with many local, industrial, and philanf thropic enterprises. Students, teachers and administrative leaders all feel that we truly have lost two men who were vitally interested in our welfare. Mr Paul F Luther Dr. H. E.

The Medical Department of Lincoln High School whose personnel is: our school doctor, Dr. Hoenstineg our school nurse, Miss Shrempg and her assistant, Miss Pollak, has worked untiringly this year with one purpose in mind-to maintain the students' health. During the course of the school year there have been no epidemics of diseases although a few seniors succumbed to measles, mumps, and scarlet fever. The Tuberculosis program was held for the benefit of the student body which resulted in 1500 students taking the Patch Test. This method of detecting the presence of the tuberculin bacilli in the body was introduced into our school system last year. As a result of this test, 250 students had XfRays taken. We have also become 20'20 conscious this year and each student received an eye test in the homefroorn through the cofoperation of the home-room teachers. Many students also received the injection of toxoid serum which is given for the prevention of diphtheria. Now more than ever, We-the youth of America-whether we shall join the ranks of America's fighting men or whether we shall remain on the homeffront, must keep physically fit. For this reason p1urlMedical Department has placed strong emphasis on the care of ea th. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Clifford Kennedy, these meng Ted Lindsay, Walt Howell and Emanuel Evans keep the Lincoln High Boiler Room ticking. As one enters the Boiler Room all one can see is machineryg large stokers that eat coal to the tune of 700 tons per winter, huge fans that supply ventilationg pressure valves and all sorts of switches. All these are taken care of by versatile Mr. Kenf nedy. Although he receives very proficient aid from his helpers most of the machinery is cared for and kept in condition by Cliff, How one man working from 'lonlyu seven until five can watch so many gadgets is amazing. Aside from the machinery there are the grass, the athletic field and the bleachers to be cared for. Another important custodian phase is cleaning. The lirst floor cleaning is done by Mrs. Donnelly. The second floor is cared for by Mrs. Kast. And into the hands of Mr. Long, falls the diflicult job of keeping the third floor clean-not only of dirt but also of students who try to sneak up the stairway before the bell rings. It seems he has a sixth sense that warns him of approaching students, as many of us have no doubt found out. As we look at our school both inside and out, we are justified in feeling proud-proud of the comfortable classrooms and proud of our beautifully wellfkept campus. Mr. Kennedy carefully watches all switches since the freeze out. - Cliff Kennedy, Ted Lindsay, Walt Howell, Emanuel Evans, Mrs. Donnelly, Mrs. Kast, Mr. Long.

Giancolag s s an impetus and has advanced rapidly during the past year. Under the guidance and leadership of lvir. I. Barnes Weinf stein, who was added to our faculty last September, interest has been mounting rapidly and Ellwood seems destined to be heard from in the field of school music. The eiforts of the band have been keenly felt in the activities of Lincoln High School. The football games and basketball games were sparked by the intricate formations and drills and by the rhythms of our popular swing music. As a service to the community, the band has performed upon all occasions where request for its services was made. It was particularly worthwhile to the personnel of our band to render their services in assisting our local- draftees on their lirst journey into the armed services, and to have been able to provide some measure of entertainment for those men at the Deshon Army Hospital. In addition to the services of the entire band two en- sembles, the brass sextet and the woodwind quintet, gave freely of their time for numerous. community programs and assembly programs. Those members who were invited to play with mid-western were: D. Fera, R. Mancini, T. Winters, J. Simpson, J. Bellissimo, H. Fleeger, D. Coccia, L. Majors, A. Scoccia. It is the earnest Wish of all senior members of the band that the progress displayed during our last year shall continue, and that with the organization for instrumental music, as it is being planned for Ellwood City, shall in the near future result in the organization and maintainance of a full symphonic band and orchestra. 1st row-A.

H ORCHESTRA The MidfWest High School Band Festival, in coroperation with the Pennsylvania School Music Association, was held in Ellwood City this year on February 17, 18, and 19. This Festival is an annual affair in which the best musicians of each high school in MidfWestern Pennsylvania partici' pate. The students receive an opportunity to perform music they love and also have an opportunity to contact others who enjoy the same thing. This festival will long be remembered by the participating musicians. A grand time was had by everyone connected and the experience of playing under outstanding bandsmen of Pennsylvania. It was an honor indeed. The most wonderful experience was playing under the worldfknown musician Dr. Frank Simon.- Dr. Simon, internationally famous bandman and cornet virtuoso is head of the band department at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Dr. Simon was premier soloist and assistant conductor of the famed Sousa Band. He also directed the famed Armco Band. Dr. Simon has been in great demand as guest conductor for bands all over the countryg we in Ellwood should feel honored indeed in having had the privilege of procuring the services and being on the itinerary of such a noted performer and personality. Dr. Simon is widely known for his love of young people and his ability to inspire young musicians to greater achieve' ments. He is very liberal with his time and one of his favorite expressions is my time is your time. Nearly 3,500 persons enjoyed the two matinee programs and the final concert given on the last evening of the festival. it P S M A Program PART TWO V DR.

Bud Emerick Bill Owens Louis Ventriglia STAGE CREW Behind every successful performance on the stage of Lincoln High is the splendid work of the stage crew. These stage crew boys, Louis Ventriglia, Bob Marshall, Bill Owens, and Bud Emerick with Mr. Williaiiis their faculty helper devote their zealous efforts to assisting the play director with varied details of a performance. They spend much time keeping the stage clean. On nights before a performance is to be given the boys work far into the night. Either they are busy adjusting and setting up the scenery or they are trying in earnest to get the bell to ring at the precise moment. They are called upon to do many odd jobs. It certainly doesn't take these boys long to accomplish a project when they really get at it. They painted the walls of the stage in ten hours flat even if one half did get painted peach and the other tan. But don't think it's all work and no play for these boys, for they have their fun too. If you appeared unexpectedly on the stage you might 'rind yourself in the midst of a Water tight or you might see them wandering around in their blue and white striped suits with a steaming hot dog in one hand and a luscious hamburg in the other. They usually have a smudge of dirt across one cheek, tools or nails in their pockets and a grin from ear to ear. Bill Owens and Louis Ventriglia will soon be donning uniforms for Uncle Sam. Bill will enter the Army Air Corps. The Navy gets Louis as a pharmacist mate. Bud and Bob will still be wearing their paint splattered coveralls next year and keeping up the stage crew's good reputation. The 1944 Thespians WEDDING SPELLS' CAST j. Simpsong G. Mattocksg P.

The Dramatic Club produced two entertaining plays for the public this year In November, the Thespians proved their acting ability in Swing Fever from which they cleared over two hundred dollars. In March, they produced Wedding Spells. One half of the proceeds of this play went to the Ellwood City College Club which gives a scholarship to a senior girl each year. ' The Dramatic Club now belongs to the National Thespian Association. To become a Thespian one must have acted a major part in a three act playg two minor parts in two, three act playsg or two major parts and one minor in one act plays. Sounds complicated doesn't it? It really isn't so difficult to accomplish. As a result the club can boast that the majority of the senior members and a few junior members are sporting their Thespian pins. The members made several trips recently to other schools to view class plays. By so doing, they received some tips on improving their acting. After the plays they enjoyed visiting with the casts backstage. They also attended one professional performance in Pittsburgh. Eighteen new members were received into the club to replace the graduating seniors. They will form the nucleus for the club next year. We are very proud to say that one of our members, Melvin Watson, is now serving in the Marines. The club this year was under the capable leadership of Miss Katherine McCray. As this was her first experience in directing, we express our thanks to her for her splendid work. Oufr Purpose TO CREATE, MAINTAIN, AND EXTEND THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL AND COM' MUNITY HIGH STANDARDS OF CHRISTIAN CHARACTER. The HifY club is organized for fifty sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who are creating and maintaining Christianity through the worship of God . The purpose of the HifY club is: To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform of the club is: Clean speech, Clean sports, Clean scholarship, and Clean living. The emblem is com' posed of and signifies the following: The White Cross-Purity, The Red Triangle-Red Blooded Service and growth in Body, Mind, and Spirit. Since our former sponsor, Mr. Boyd, could not attend our evening meetings and activities, the club was faced with the problem of obtaining new sponsors this year. Reverend Arthur M. Stevenson, Reverend J. W. Gladden, and Mr. Dennie Schill responded to the club's request for becoming the new sponsors, however, Mr. Boyd acted as our advisor. The club's activities were related to improvement of the welfare of our community. The boys, in collaboration with the Women's Club of this city, obtained ration points from the members of the club in order to purchase canned fruit for the city hospital. Also they helped in the organization of the Youths' Recreation Center. The boys, as a group, attend various churches for Sunday morning worship. Row 1-Left to right-F. Thorpe, W Thalgott, C.

To manifest our objective, we have conf ducted the selling of war bonds and stamps and we went over the top sponsoring our jeep campaign. Our super bond sellers were: Delores Jessop, Betty jo Ben, and Louella Twenltier. Twenty girls voluntarily rendered their services at the local Blood Bank in Marc . In attending our bifweekly meetings, we have tried to fulfill our slogan: pure thoughts, pure words and pure actions with a series of programs titled, Popularity . A majority of the girls participated in the Bible Study course. This helped to accomplish our purpose: to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The highlights in our social activities were a tea for the senior girls and a Leap Year dance, The success of our club is aided by the guidance of our sponsors: Miss Wooster and Mrs. J. Ellis Bell. Our officers for the year were: President, Veronica Estkowskig Vice' President, Betty Pierce, Secretary, Lawanda Agnevvg Chaplain, Louella Twentier. Our Code TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD, READY I MUST BE.

The earers of the Key Sponsor MR. BELL O-Hicers Dommicxc Prim Joi: THOMAS PAUL Buiuxows Gus CERRITELLI The manpower shortage struck again. This time it wielded an almost fatal blow on the Kiwanis Key Club. Early in the first semester, Mr. Flinner enlisted in the Navy and was called. This left the Club without an adult sponsor. For the remainder of the semester the club was idle. At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. J. Ellis Bell, being interested in the organization, offered his services. Oflicers were elected and a few meetings held. One particuf larly interesting meeting was that one in which Mr. Bell reviewed the book, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. For those boys who may be interested in the Club, and may wish to revive it next year here are a few facts. Mem' bership is limited to twentyffour boys, eight seniors and sixteen juniors. Once a member, you hold your privileges for life and are permitted to return anytime. One, desiring to be enrolled in the club, may be an honor student or a member of an outstanding scholastic organization such as the band, orchestra, or athletics. Traditions dear to the heart of old Kiwanis Keyers have been broken this year. The Christmas Key dance was eliminated, the attendance at senior Kiwanis Key meetings was laxg and finally, the formal Ellwoodian picture was replaced by an informal one.

The Voice of the Students Here is a sound oif to four reliable people! VVho are these personalities? Why, you know them very well! Every morning-every noon-four busy seniors hasten to the office to make important and minor announcements. Room 305 wins the banner. Lost-a tasty lunch- if found-please return to the office. There will be an 'Ellwoodian' meeting in 306 immediately after school. 'Readers Digests' are in. Seniors-don't forget those class dues. The owner of that lost dinner may secure it from Miss Chambers. Mr. Shaffer has an announcement two as a matter of fact. And so it goes . . . the above named are just a few of the many notices and reminders that we hear and take for granted each day. Herschel Kaufman has charge of the bells, the central box and all major and minor emergencies. Peggy Elder possesses the honor of being the only feminine announcer, this year. Paul Burrows usually arrives just in time to make his announcements. Although sometimes short of breath, he enunciates words clearly and convincingly. Bud Watson, our capable Ellwoodian announcer, is now in the Marines. It's no mean job, being a member of our sound crew. They take care of all public address facilities, both before and after school hours and at all the athletic events. They also set up loud speaker equipment for dances. Responsibility lies heavy upon their shoulders, but they accept it and do a good job. Adviser Mr.. Wxtuams 1944 Crew PEGGY ELDB11 Himscmzr.

This is the admirable code of the Girl Reserves, a code which strives toward the beautiful, the good and the idealistic. Under the capable leadership of President Dorothy Melzer with the aid of Norma Rossi, Peggy Adams and Virginia Houk, the club is participating enthusiastically in many interesting activities. Making favors for the hospital, holding a MotherfDaughter Banquet, attending various amusement places, and planning a cofed party were only a few of their accomplishments. One of the most important occasions held annually is Good Fellowship Week, during which merry fun, exciting work and pleasant experience activities are shared. This annual affair is observed by all the Girl Reserves of America. january 8th, 1944, held a special significance for the members of the club. It was the day of their Bake Sale. Their faculty sponsor, Miss Hepler, was in charge. The total amount of money raised was S22. Miss Cotton, a popular member of the faculty, is the other sponsor. The Girl Reserves prove a worthy example in reaching toward the best and succeeding in everything they under' take. We, as a high school, should be justly proud of our Girl Reserves. The never failing efforts of our Junior Red Cross brought joy and happiness on Christmas Day to the wounded servicemen at the Deshon Hospital in Butler. With the aid of the student body they collected various Christmas ornaments with which to decorate the hospital wards. However, this was just one of the many good deeds performed by the Junior Red Cross. In the last Red Cross drive they campaigned so diligently and successfully that they far surpassed all other drives of previous years with their collection of well over one hundred fifty dollars. This will be used in the future for help in worthy cases. Through their recent drive they obtained a sufhcient sum of money for the purchase of a Barnes Treatment Chair. This will be a welcome addition to our Medical Room. Also they have recently been asked to donate both their services and money to help with the hearing aids for several needy students. Among representatives from each grade in the school the following ofhcers were chosen: Virginia Clark, Presidentg Eleanor Cable, VicefPresidentg Rudy Lucas, Secretaryg Donald Nagel, assistant Secretaryg Sam Sirimarco, Treasurer. With Miss Charlotte Chambers acting as their able adviser they have worked hand in hand with the school Medical Department throughout the year. JUNIOR RED CROSS Adviser-Miss C.

They have a high aim in life-to protect people Ruin disease wherever it may strike. We salute these valiant girls of the Future Nurses Club, who, through the guidance of Miss Shremp, have begun a great undertaking, which in times like these when society is ravaged, End it more and more dillicult to end suffering either at home or abroad. In meeting with this club we discovered twenty girls who have enjoyed speakers at other meetingsg supervisors, cadet nurses, and Public Health Nurses. While asking questions and having chats, the girls have been told basic opportunities in the iield of nursing. These girls engaged in other worthwhile activities too. They sold milk at noon, the proceeds of which went to a very good cause, that of purchasing a new and modern dressing table for the Medical room. They have already purchased a dryer for medical purposes. They are working on an afghan for the Deshon Hospital. The spirit of this group of girls is truly an inspirational achievement to the rest of the students and faculty of Lincoln High. As we departed from their meeting we wished them good luck in attaining their ideal to build a better, healthier community. MEMBERS L. Contig M. Christieg N. Clarkg A. Dashieldg T. Demasg S.

When school opened in the Fall, Lincoln High students wanted to contribute their extra money and talents to the war effort. The first project sponsored by the TrifHifY Club was the jeep Campaign. 51,492 worth of bonds and stamps were sold at the stamp booth near the oflice. This amount exceeded the cost of the jeep and the remainder bought a life boat. In November, Lincoln High sold 51,212 worth of stamps and bonds while in the entire school system 353,367 were purchased. The lowest amount sold was during February. During this month 55,793.35 was raised with Lincoln High contributing only 324490. To promote sales the home room campaign was organized. Representatives of the home rooms collected money from the students, who had pledged to buy a stamp once a week. The home room purchasing the most stamps during the week received the cup. Other activities the students aided were community war efforts. Some TrifHifY girls helped at the Blood Bank by typing, filing application cards, and checking names. The HifY made the largest donation when the local hospital asked for canned goods. The boys collected three boxes of goods worth nine hundred points. A few girls went to the Rationing Board to help type gasoline applications. Even though our contributions seemed small, we were grateful that students realized their responsibilities now-while in school. Ellwoodian 1944 V'Mail Edition BLACK PHANTOMS B.

With only two regulars and three lettermen back, the outweighed Blue and Whites found themselves trailing 2fO at the close of the half. But they came out at the second half full of that neverfsayfdie spirit that distinguishes a Wolverine from an ordinary player. They kept plugging for a break and finally Agostinelli plunged from the two yard line after a pass had put the ball on the eleven. Agostinelli bore the brunt of the attack in carrying the ball. ELLwooD 33 U. TOWNSHIP O The plucky Union Township boys were no match for the juggernaut attack of the Wolverines that netted 21 points in the first quarter. Agostinelli and Holler smacked over two touchdowns apiece while Manuzzi picked up the other one. The whole team played magnificently with Agostinelli spurring them on with his superb plunges and ballfhandling. In the line, Geneviva and Pelloni outshone all. The backs and line showed speed and effortless blocking. Quite a change from the green team of first game of the season. FARRBLL 7 ELLWOOD O Playing their Hrst game away, the Wolverines found the Farrell eleven too strong for them. Obviously below par the Blue and White gave their worst performance of the season. The Farrell Indians scored early in the last period on a freak play. A pass and a fumble that followed put the ball on the one yard line. Two line smashes put it over. Ellwood tried a last minute push with Tillia and Agostinelli taking the ball. But on the 20 yard line the Farrell line proved too much for our boys. This was the first defeat of the season for the Wolverines. ELLYNOOD 6 ROCHESTER 12 Playing a type of football that swept the Rams off their feet almost brought victory for our boys. We had two tragic bad breaks: one a fumble on the 7 yard line and the other a whistle denoting the end of the first half as we had a first down on their one yard line. Peruzzie and Collela got away for 25 and 74 yard sprints to complete the scoring for Rochester. Agostinelli bucked one over in the first quarter for Ellwood. The Wolverines outplayed Rochester in every department and really deserved to win. ELLXVOOD 25 BUTLER 0 Sparked by Agostinelli and Manauzzi, the Wolverines again hit the victory path. A pass to Presto, a plunge by Agostinelli, and an intercepted pass by Pelloni constituted the three touchdowns the first half. Manauzzi set up the second touch' down on a Zigzaging 24 yard dash to the 2. A recovered fumble by Konyak on the 31 set up the last strike. Two passes and Agostinelli put the ball on the one yard line. Desport put it over from there, on a surprising quarter back sneak. ELLWOOD 46 MONACA O With little but mighty Vince Manauzzi leading the attack, the Blue and White pulverized the Monaca Indians. Manauzzi hit paydirt twice himself and set up several others on long runs and passes. Tillia and Agostinelli also got two apiece with Bill Mc' Clintock getting the other. Although plucky, the Indians were completely overwhelmed by the standout play of all the Wolverines. They scored one touchdown in the first, three in the second, three in the third. The fourth quarter was consumed in a futile attempt of the Indians to score. ELLWOOD 12 ALIQUIPPA O Playing in a drizzle, the heavily outweighed Wolverines outfought the favoured Steeler to come through with a well deserved win. A 21 yard pass to Presto gave us a touchdown and lead at the half. Holler ripped off tackle for 11 yards in the last quarter to put the game on ice. Never before has Ellwood played more dominating football. They outplayed the Quips in every department and crushed their counter attacks. Every single player deserves special mention but Konyak, Geniviva and Presto were sparkplugs in the line. ELLWOOD 6 NEW BRIGHTON 20 Displaying none of the power and spirit of past games, the Wolverines met defeat at the hands of the powerful crimson tide. Ellwood's only score came on a beautiful 71 yard dash by Vince Manauzzi early in the first quarter. Then New Brighton struck with the fury of a hurricane. Our line crumbledg the tackling was sloppyg but worst of all, the boys had no iight. New Brighton scored once every period after the first. Haddox was the big gun for New Brighton, running and passing to touchdowns. Only Al Geniviva played with the usual fire and fight of a Wolverine. ELLWOOD 14 BEAVER FALLS 17 Playing to the largest crowd of the season, the Wolverines met their second straight defeat in the hands of the powerful Orange and Black team. Cartwright scored the first strike on a 19 yard pass. The rest of Ellwood's scoring was done by Agostinelli. A two yard plunge and two place' mentsg the latter placement to tie up the score. A masterfully executed razzle-dazzle reverse lateral pass gave Beaver Falls their first score. A march of 68 yards was good for the other. Horneck booted both extra points and a 27 yard field goal in the closing seconds to snatch an earnestly sought after victory away from the Wolverines. ELLWOOD 14 BEAVER O Ringing down the curtain for the season, the Wolverines crushed Beaver on the running of 8 yards per try Agostinelli and Manauzzi. A 39 yard sprint of Manauzzi was good for the first score. Desport got the next one on a lateral from Manauzzi as he was being tackled on the one yard line. Agostinelli averaged 8 yards per try. Man' auzzi also displayed some elusive hip action in his long runs. The line gave the backs great support both offensively and defensively. 65 1943744 Gagers ELLWOOD CITY 43 ZBLIBNOPLB 11 The Wolverines under the new tutelage of Howard Gills and Ted Wallace raised up the curtain of the 194344 basketball season with an easy 43f11 victory over Zelienople. Mike Hayden and John Cartwright led the attack, each playing a spectacular game. The Wolveriiies played a very successful pref league schedule, meeting defeat at Butler, but winning six other games. ELLWOOD CITY 27 Bunyan FALLS 31 The Wolverines opened the WPIAL champion' ship race at Beaver Falls where they were defeated 27131. The first quarter ended 10f9 in favor of the Tigers and they maintained lead until the third quarter when Ellwood forged ahead. Ellwood was greatly weakened when Cartwright was expelled from the game for fouls. ELLWOOD CITY 38 Amimmon 39 The Wolverines met their second league defeat at the hands of Ambridge. Ellwood held the lead until the score was tied and forced into an extra period. Narkevic of Ambridge sank a long shot which placed them in the lead, but Rodgers also placed one in the hoops only to lind he was out of bounds. Final score 38f39 Ambridge. ELLWOOD CITY 27 New BRIGHTON 30 In the absence of Mr. Giles, his able assistant Mr. Wallace accompanied the Wolverines to New Brighton.

The boys from Aliquippa held their lead throughout the game. Top scorers for Ellwood were Shardone and Hayden with nine points apiece.

I. A. L. Championship for the second straight year. Changing a completely green team into a championship ball club was the job of the new coach, Ted Wallace. After three weeks of arduous practice in September, the champs took the Held for the first time against George Washington junior High of New Castle. Hard hitting George Milnes carried the brunt of the attack as he scored both touchdowns. Entertaining Ambridge under the lights resulted in a 1410 victory. Willie DiAmico in the fullback position accounted for all the points. With DiAmico in the drivers seat, the champs bulldozed over Beaver Falls. With 13 points DiAmico led the spree. Viccario and Wiegle each scored a touchdown. Frishkorn, two touchdowns, DiAmico, Miller and Milnes one apiece-that's the way Sharon was smashed. With speed, power and spirit the little Blue and Whites were unstoppable. A more experienced Ben Franklin team was fought to a standstill by the spirited Wolverines. Outplayed, but never outfought, the Wolverines almost upset Ben Franklin on the last play of the game. The old spread went for 50 yards but Milnes was overtaken on the 20 where the game ended. From this championship eleven, live lettermen will return. They are: Bark, Viccari, Warnock, Kay, Bisceglia. The future varsity players are: Milnes, DiAmico, Miller, P. Wiegle, Conner, Gorta, Thompson, Veres, Frishkorn, Donaldson, Sulia, Konyak, C. Wiegle, and Agostinelli. ittle Wolverines Under the coaching of Ted Wallace, the Little Wolverines embarked on their 19434944 season and won 13 out of 18 games. Starting the prefleague schedule with Mahoning' town and George Washington High, the Wolvf erines showed promise of scoring ability by winning both games with ample margins. Then followed two defeats inflicted by Ben Franklin. The remainder of the prefleague games indicated that O'Hara would be the season's top scorer and that A. Miller, B. Calderone, F. Vicario, J. Ionti, C. Milnes, J. Barbati and Bill Eady would tie for first team positions. ELLWOOD CITY 33 CONWAY 26 Smashing a last minute rally by Conway, the Wolverines began the section 5 league roll with a 22f26 victory. They were led by forward D. O'Hara who collected 15 points.

L. hamp gain' For the second straight year, Jimmy Ansell's hard working Gym team captured the W.P.I.A.L. Gymnastic title. The practice workfouts twice a week left a telling effect as the boys developed poise, balance, agility and co-ordination. During the workfouts each boy works on his own individual piece of apparatus concentrating on one special phase. This practice started early in the school term and continued for six months. It certainly takes patience on the part of the members of the team as well as versatile Mr. Ansell. Overlooking no possible candidate, Mr. Ansell uses all his talents to forge a skillful tumbler or rope climber out of an awkward youth whom he thinks will make a valuable member of his team. The Rope Climb takes powerful shoulder muscles coupled with coordination in using your strength to the best advantage. Climbing a twenty foot rope takes plenty of power and a fellow has to be in good condition to take it. Parallel bars develops poise, balance and co' ordination plus a set of muscles. To learn to work on them takes months of arduous practice under the constant surveillance of the capable instructor. The Flying Rings takes a keen sense of timing. To be able to let go of the rings and catch them again certainly taxes all the qualities of timing and coordination. This exercises more than all others will develop every muscle in the body. GYM TEAM Horizontal Bar also takes timing and coordination. To the onlooker skinning the cat looks easy but it takes long practice to be able to do it effortless and with the ease of a seasoned performer. Tumbling is perhaps the feat that needs the light and flexible body together with a perfect sense of balance. Start 'em young seems to be the passwork for tumbling for an expert tumbler is only such after years of practice. At the W.P.I.A.L. meet in Pittsburgh our boys walked away with all competition in sweeping three events. The twenty foot Rope Climb was won by D'Ambrosia, Bartholomeo, and Shardone, Hrst, second, and third respectively. A clean sweep was also gotten on the rings with Morris, Houk and Tetmier capturing all competition. Other winners were Tetmier third on Parallel Bars and Morris third on Horizontal Bar. At the P. I. A. A. meet at Penn State, Ellwood City came in fourth against some very stiff com' petition. Third, fourth, and fifth on the Rope Climb were taken respectively by Shardone, D'Ambrosia and Demeter. The only other honor was a third, Won by Morris on the flying rings. It was a fitting tribute for Mr. Ansell's boys to make such a showing. This is his last meet for the duration. Mr. Ansell, as many others, has joined the ranks of many truly great athletes-that of our Armed Forces. May he have as much success in the Navy as he has had at our school. Row 1-Bottom-J. Dawsong R.

Our Physical Fitness Instructor, Mr. Ansell, really gives the boys their first tough workfouts. Although this little man' mountain has enlisted in the Navy he leaves behind him, many boys who will be thankful for his injecting these special exercises into their play. In cooperation with the armed forces, Mr. Ausell has introduced a body toughness program as calisthenics, wrestling matches, boxing matches, and individual exercises such as, the rooe climb. From the moment weather forced us from our outside sports to the protection of the building, until weather again permitted us to be out in a healthy environment, we were familiarized with all these tougheners. But we mustn't lead you to think that all indoor activity was work, oh, no! there were moments of play and relaxation with the old favorties basket' ball, volleyball, and bucfbuc. The results from the coordinative exercise began to show up where team work in those moments of play during a basketball or volleyball game was desiredg from the wrestling matches came that proof of the usefulness of the strength exercises and combinations of these two developments began popping up in many of the other forms of recreation. One sad feature of the new program was the elimination of the intramural sports. This recently revised activity had a short life span but when the physical fitness program took over, IntrafMural dropped out without too much difficulty. Along with this revision in gym class, Mr. Ansell, has also formed a night school class of boys of draft age who have found the need of a more rigid form of exercise than is offered by gym class. From 25 to 30 boys workfout every Tuesday and Thursday night with a regular course in calisthenics and coordinating exercises. It's too bad Mr. Ansell is only one person because, taking into consideration the large job he is already doing he has turned away a large number of boys who could also beneit by his program. Our thanks to you, Mr. Ansell, for the fine work accomplished in the physical department. F i q :ff I S .J fj .rf 'N' z In vig Q 5 -1- IFES.. .sf 5 5 T QQ?

With the assistance of the Capp sisters, Esther Houk, Virginia Hazen, Helen Poydock, Beverly Hertzog, Yolanda Imperf atore, Virginia Wallis, and Dorothy jenkins-they would make a winning team.
