Lawson, Superintendent of the McKeesport Schools from 1935 until 1953. Dr. Lawson was an enthusiastic educator, a capable administrator, and a gentleman who knew patience and humility. The affairs of our community as well as of our schools benefited from his humanity and learning. Dr. Lawson's influence will remain with us always. DEDICHTIUH T HAT EDUCATION became the career of Dr. James H. Lawson was only natural. From the time he walked fifty-five miles at tfhe age of eleven from rhis home in Elk Valley, Tennessee, to the Lincoln Memorial University at Harrogate, Ken- tucky, until the time he received his doctorate of education degree from the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Lawson was actively seeking knowledge and understanding. As Superintendent of Schools he had the opportunity to extend to others his enthu- siasm for education. After his early schooling at Lincoln Memorial University, Dr. Lawson attended Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Kentucky, and the Uni- versity of Chicago, majoring in mathematics and receiving bachelor's degrees from both institutions. He becanie a teacher and later principal in Iellico, Tennessee, taught in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and served with the United States Army during World War I. After the war Dr. Lawson reswned teaching at Parkersburg, taking graduate work at the George Peabody College for Teachers in Tennessee and at Valparaiso University in Indiana. In 1920 Dr. Lawson came to McKeesport as head of the Mathematics Department in the high school, in 1924 he became assistant principal in the high school, and in 1935 he was named Superintendent of Schools. While Dr. Lawson was superintendent, the new East End Building, the Vocational School, and the new Fifth Avenue Building were erected. Under his direction the school program was enriched and extended to include features like special classes for retarded children, a kindergarten plan, school libraries, distributive education, beauty culture, and improved home economics facilities.

EACHERS are a favorite topic for student dis' cussion - for no better reason than that they are the most vital part of our school. Subjects that seem beyond us at Hrst, become clear under a teacher's guidance. Not only their instruction but also their influence remains with us through' out our lives: in every student there is a small part of each of his teachers.

The Senior Band is at it again! McKeesport High School's Senior Band takes part in school, patriotic, and civil celef brations. They arrange a halfftime demonstration for the football games, march in parades, and repref sent our school at musical gatherings, besides giving two concerts a year. Under the direction of Mr. Lawrence DeSimone, who is assisted by Mr. Ernest Rotili, this year's band was the largest music organization in the school with 105 musicians, seven majorettes, a drum major, and a twirling drum major. An increased marching tempo this year further enhanced the smartness of the band. Sixty different drills-three are shown below: baby buggy, boot and spur, Puritan hat-are executed by the band during football season. The drills for each performance have a unifying theme with appropriate musical accompaniment. First pref pared on paper, the formations are perfected in daily marching practices.

Final tally: 38f7. With Bobby Mulgado KNO. HEN THE LAST whistle blew on November 13, 1953, McKeesport High found that its 1953 grid' iron record would show seven wins, two losses, and one tie. Coached by Harold Duke Weigle and his assistants Charles Schaeffer and Falco Carrozza, the '53 Tigers scored 224 points Q34 touchdowns and 20 extra pointsj to their foes' 115. After breezing though two nonfleague games with Glassport and Central Catholic, the Tigers did not cop another home victory until they met Jeannette, bowing to New Castle and New Kensington and tying Clairton, Faring better on the road, the club rolled over Aliquippa, Johnstown, Duquesne and Turtle Creek. The most heavily attended game was with Clairton when a new record of 11,671 patrons was set at War 331 blocking, Perry Harper wheels around the Clairton end to earn one of 14 first downs fClairton had 13, that brightened a 20f20 dead- lock. Memorial Feld, The most thrilling game was with Duquesne when the Tigers had to come twice from behind. The most exciting finish was in the Johnstown contest when MHS scored the game's only touchdown with less than two minutes remaining. The best team performance was probably in the Turtle Creek game which ended the season on a victorious note. Sparking much of the McKeesport action was quarter' back Bobby Mulgado who crossed the goal eight times and who Bred eleven touchdown passes. Of the eleven, eight were received by Bob Yencho, seven of them coming in two games. In the Turtle Creek game, Bobby connected with nine of his Hrst ten passes, three of them for touchdowns, and kicked five straight placements.

George Washington displayed fine form as they breezed through their regular schedule with 18 victories and one loss. Undefeated in league competition, they entered the playoffs for the Junior WPIAL championship, defeating Jeannette in a close 39f37 contest. Advancing to the quarter- finals they bowed out to Port Vue, 36142, to end an 18fgame winning streak.
