The three school boards operate as a joint school committee and all business formerly transacted by the individual boards is now trans- acted by the joint board. All policies are now the concern of the entire membership. Through this jointure the schools receive additional money from the Department of Public Instruction for the improvement of the schools. This policy of jointure follows the trend of larger operating units for more economical management and to provide equal educational opportunity for all children.

Into the Valley of Life, we go, the Class of ’53. A backward glance, reveals a glorious history. As freshmen, our achievements were quite amazing. We made great gains in spite of the hazing. The record of the sophomores did reveal, A zest for knowledge with fervent zeal. Our guidance programs were so inspiring, - Our three one-act plays were equally surprising. Time marches on! In our junior year We had more courage and nothing to fear. We were proud after passing our drivers’ examination. “The Brain Storm” was our first big presentation. We witnessed our varsity co-champs of 1950 fame, Become W. P. I. A. L. champs of the football game. Our Junior-Senior Prom, ““The Treasure Island Ball,” Was a success and a pleasant memory to all. Our senior feats were high-lights, we must confess, We presented “Curtain Going Up” with very much success. Exciting games our teams did play, IYond memories we'll recall for many a day. Many laurels and honors our class did rate, This is our last year, and now we graduate. Class Night—Baccalaureate—Commencement—all in rapid order. Then we suddenly realize our high school days are over. Our hearts are filled with remorse and regret. Our friends, our alma-mater, we'll never forget. Turn back, O turn back! O time in thy flight! Please make us freshmen again if only you might. —Jane Riddel NP A 4 Pu a } AL y 0) Senior Class Officers Walter Gorgas, Treasurer; Bob Thompson, Presi- dent; Martha Fezell, Vice-President; Delores Capo, Secretary. Our Officers Speak rey When the going gets hard, first think of how you remedied these problems in school—they’re not so difficult after all. To those planning for college: work hard to prepare yourself now, and you'll profit by it later on. To the seniors going into the business world: Always do your best and no one can complain. Problems are never solved by worry, but only by using one’s common sense. Donald Albanese Albanese” Commercial Course On Tuesdays and Fri- days it’s Don we see, For senior basketball manager is he.

A spacious office building Aladdin wanted to see Filled with many workers the building will be. In gold, Bos THompson’s name is printed on a door As president of the firm he is found on the first floor. In the outer office Aladdin did find Bob’s secretary, CLarA Lezovicu, with papers to sign. [36] In another room in a tiny nook Was Por DALBEyY with his accountant’s book. Sitting at a desk that was newly bought Was his first assistant, KATHLEEN Wart. Chewing on their pencils and working very hard Were Ruru and ELLyNorE Kwnattay checking a card. JEAN Rousu and Mar.eNneE Zivirz were trying to see Where in the files their notes could be. JOANNE Davis and Lestiz REYNoLpDs were on the phones talking While Vinnie Barracuia, the safe was securely locking. Lots Owens and Frances ByERLE were busy as bees Trying to figure the cost of lawyer’s fees. In another office, on the second floor Aladdin found Jim CamMPpBELL’s name on the door. The owner of a coal company was he, In his employment many people will be. Gerry SMIESKA and GINNIE PULLION, stenographers are they Taking many notes, they have a busy day. In the office are BUNNy PErucH and SHIRLEY Myer, They also are in the company’s hire. At the switchboard are CHARLoTTE McGarry and JOANNE Rose, They receive and send out messages as the company grows. Linpa KEetvincTon and Louise Beckert like typing work From the most difficult tasks they never shirk. PAULINE FeLron and Nancy Harruine each working as a file clerk Find that locating special information is much of their work. Sard SANDERS and Dorotruy TarTxo are figuring the employees’ pay, A task, which we all know, requires several days. A rub and a wish and he shall appear With news of those service men and women we cheer. The army, the navy, and the marine corps Giv e training, excitement, and experience galore. In the Women’s Air Force group Norma Romsotp, SHIRLEY Epwarps, VIRGINIA CARVER make quite a troop. As mechanics tightening the bolts Are JANET VAN LEAR and Mary ANN Manrecic doing away with the jars and jolts. SHIRLEY MILNE has joined the Waves it seems. With the women we are able to form great teams. Berry Hooker is chief secret service aide, All important news on her desk is laid. As the jet stops we find in the cock-pit Ray Coak ey, the pilot, doing his bit. We see Ronatp Kororr’s dream is complete, As mechanic in the air force he can’t be beat. Don Ours, PauLt Ramsey, ELuswortH Farmer, and Leroy Warp Find filling plane gas tanks a joy, so as not to be bored. Busily driving trucks doing eighty to the front lines, Are Art THompson, Bos Harris, and WAayNE HarrMan without worry of fines. There they find soldiers who are both hungry and cold, Jim RippeL, JoHN SNOWDEN, and Mickey Crawrorp are still bold. Brrt Murpuy, a sailor is he, Studying to be a radar man without fee. [37] Britt Powe, Jim Kurrers, and Don Writcox, and Westey YouNG Form a fine group of heroes with victories unsung. A rub and a wish and he shall appear As through the darkness comes a vision quite clear. Crowds of young people filled the college halls, And the sound of voices rang from its walls. The bell between classes having shortly sounded, Youth director Nancy DunN by pupils is surrounded. Around the corner Jack BALDERSON’s voice is raised As the unhappy freshmen shrink before his gaze. To learn sociology they come today, But, for Don Swarrorn’s style of teaching they have nothing to say. Teaching business arithmetic to all students within reach Don ALBANESE undoubtedly finds an answer for each. The lack of interest in American history is well known But through Patricia Conroy’s teaching some has been shown. From ELranor Carter, the English teacher, all students learn After four years of this subject their diplomas they earn. Nancy McNirr and Mary Hooker, art teachers are they Explaining how to paint in the very best way. Joyce Bonnet and LouisrE Heisiine as Home Ec. teachers Explain cooking and sewing in all of their features. Religious Education, which has long needed backing, Is taught by Jo ANN Craic with nothing lacking. Football coaches, Bos SHroaps, Harotp ENGLE, and Rupy Katcevic Have built up a team none other can lick. Dick McCanna and Brix Pasquate back this strong team, Confident of victory these college boys seem. A rub and a wish and he shall appear, To tell of the labor of the engineers. As they work with pencil and paper in hand, To fill this country’s growing demand. Within the main office President DAN HunTeER presides As the principal problems of the firm he decides. Frank VuxicH in his office has many papers to sign, As vice-president of the company his day starts at nine. Orders for supplies for the busy men Are taken by Jo GrecicH and Ciarr SMELTZER at ten. Two draftsmen can be seen working at their desks, Cart BLACKBURN and Harop Frantz are merely doing their best. Mechanical engineers OttverR Houtsincer and Paut JAcKson In this line of work great fame have won. As a chemical engineer Jack Morean’s brains are a guide With JANETROSE GILLILAND in the laboratory by his side. In the electrical branch of this large company Gary HeErsHELL at its head is as busy as can be. Don GruesPre, Puit Popovicn and Cart PLAssMEYER work hard to prepare For planes, a new type of light to reduce glare. Wa rer Gorgas, a Civil engineer of renown, Is supervising the building of a road into town. Beautiful vases and dishes rapidly appear Made by Ben Harpesry, ceramic engineer. [38] A rub and a wish and he shall appear, To show Aladdin a large hospital that is near. The rooms are filled by people who are ill, Their health is cared for by doctors with skill. At the reception desk SHIRLEY GILPIN sat, Nancy Coucu was putting on her nurses’ hat. Supervisor MartHa ANN FEZELL was seen in the hall, “Dr. SAM SHEFFIELD,” the loud speaker did call. In the kitchen, DELorEs GILLILAND, the dietitian was working, While in the corridor, Don Mirrica, a patient was lurking. ANNA GarRNET, supervisor on the first floor, Explained to Nancy DocxkTeEr about her chore. In, OrviLLE AMMON the ambulance driver rushed, All the noise in the hospital was suddenly hushed. Leta WesBer, THELMA DAUER, and SHIRLEY STEFFEN Came to see If, of any great assistance they could be. Dor a CornE ius in the nursery did find Several tiny babies to which she was kind. Dotty Capo and RuruHie LoverreE in room number three Were as gentle with a patient as they could be. Dr. Dick Carpost had had a busy day, He bade nurse Joan Lowery good-night as he went on his way. RutrH ANN FuNKHOUSER in her work had tried, When the long day was over she relaxed and sighed. A rub and a wish and he shall appear, The news of the theater makes us shed not a tear. Singers, dancers, and magicians alike Provide good entertainment as they step to the mike. Our tour of the modern theater takes us through the door To see the work of the interior decorators, Jim Forrest, Mercia NEUGEBAUER, JoAN Burcess, and SHrrteEY Moore. As manager of the theater is CaroL BLANKENBICKER. The entertainers and she over salaries do dicker. Harotp Morrer and Trep Greaves don’t worry very much about the large tax Since each one has his own band playing instrument, respectively, trombone and sax. As concert pianists in a great flurry We find doing a fine job, Cora Puitier and Jack Hur.ey. As singer who else but crooner GEoRGE SNow While every girl in the audience goes wild swooning low. DorotHy Conner has trained her horse very well. As each trick is done without error, it’s not hard to tell. Touring with Norman GRANz’s organization, RicHiE SMITH is met by a cheering crowd at every railroad station. To watch the trained animals with their respective rider, Has meant great work for their trainers Jack Wurzet and Don Snyper. A rub and a wish and they did appear, Memories of those scenes which we all hold dear. As we part and go our several ways We hope for success through all our days.

In the first semester of our senior year, we presented a new comedy “Curtain Going Up.” Our audience experienced something new and different, for our players sometimes betook them- selves into the audience, oblivious of their presence, to perform their roles. You may recall the play was set in the auditorium of Riverview High School. The play director was meeting her cast for the first time. The cast was an assembly of the “brains” of the school to the “slow” but lovable football hero. There was even the school cut-up who finally mastered his “trig” to retain his place in the cast. Here was a play within a play exposing to the audience all the headaches a high school coach endures during rehearsal for her cast to give its best performance. The jealousy of leading ladies, the prestige of a community play house actor, tension of several love affairs, the editing of the school annual, feuds between faculty members as well as a faculty romance enhanced the story for the audience. As in most plays about high school life, there was a principal, a harrassed parent, a disgruntled janitor, and an actress of questionable popularity. Comments on the production were very favorable and many were no doubt pro mpted by the novelty of the director down in the audience and of students and teachers tearing through the audi- torium. [42] Carol Powell, Secretary; Dick Hummer, President; Georgia Merriman, Treasurer; Dolly Cosentino, Vice-President. Another milestone has been taken in our high school career. As freshmen we went in a daze not knowing what it was all about; our initiations, the rooms that all looked alike, and the new rules and regulations. Our sophomore year we came out of that daze and became a little more active. In dramatics we had a night of three one-act plays, and had lots of fun working with the play directors. The boys of our class became interested in sports, mainly football and basketball, and we had a good representation in both. However, our junior year was the best. Our activities increased and more of our class par- ticipated in the various clubs, band, chorus, and sports. Our boys sparked the football team which won seven games and lost three. They were also a big help on the varsity basketball team. We had our first three-act play, entitled “It’s a Date” directed by Mr. Grant, who is also our class advisor. Then came the big event near the close of the school year, the Junior-Senior Prom, which was a gala affair enjoyed by all.

We well remember that September morning which ushered in the new school year of 1951-52. In no uncertain terms we were guided to the balcony which was to become our home for the next nine months. As the year continued we gradually tossed aside that tinge of green that had become our unhappy lot and assumed, at least outwardly, an appearance of dignity. Now as “high” and “mighty” Sophomores we have acquired that feeling of superiority com- plex toward the freshies as was our experience from last year’s upper-classmen. Likewise, a dis- tinct privilege was bestowed upon us this year as we were permitted to change our abode on “the shelf” to the auditorium’s main floor. We have worked hard during the year to complete most favorably all tasks that have been assigned us. Especially was this true in making our three one-act plays a great success. Needless to say our acting ability displayed some of the talent vested in this class. All of us are looking forward to the junior year where we are anticipating higher goals and a banner year of achieve- ments.

After six struggling years of grade school, and two in Junior High, we have advanced to be- come dignified young ladies and young gentlemen. We showed the “upper-classmen” we could endure the harassing and bewilderment of be- ? ing a “greenie,” in starting our career in N. B. H. S. We did so by having our class well repre- sented in sports, and musical organizations. We received a very capable “helping-hand,” in our struggle to become adjusted to our high school life from Mr. Kelbaugh, our class advisor.

The Council sponsored the Christmas program for the students which was given before the Christmas vacation. Another of their projects was the student election on November 4, in which the homeroom representatives distributed ballots in the rooms and conducted the voting in a most democratic manner.

Their meetings are interesting as well as enjoyable through the contributions of experienced speakers and a diversified program of entertainment. For the climax of the first semester, the Christmas Formal “Frost Fantasy” was this year’s project. In the second semester plans were laid early for sponsoring the crowning of the May Queen. To remember these times your Tri-Hi-Y pin will serve as your favorite refer- ence. The success of the club is attributed to the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Shelar.

With their social gatherings she may come into contact with the social circle and world of reading. They help bring cheerfulness into the library by their dainty yet colorful decorations on various holidays. Only by their in- exhaustible cooperation under the leadership of Miss Martha Hamilton can their services best be appreciated. We extend a bouquet of success to them.

This year the girls helped in the new stands at the football games, too. The club membership consists of 20 seniors, 14 juniors, and 8 sophomores. The members really enjoy their ushering assignments. They become well acquainted with the towns people who attend the school functions, and they improve their own poise and self-confidence by meeting these people. Mrs. Johnson, the able advisor, was a big help in taking the girls over the rough spots that came up during the year.

Their meetings are held throughout the school year with prominent speakers and occasional movies. Their unique ideas are put into practice by their supervision of the annual pep rally preceding the rival game between New Brighton and Beaver Falls. At a football game they greet you at the gate by selling football programs. Each year from the money they are able to obtain by various means, the club purchases some item that will be of service to the school. Basketball is another activity in which the boys engage. Congratulations must be bestowed on Mr. Grant for his skillful leadership.

The Stand Committee, composed of 14 seniors, always seemed to be right there with lots of good things for us to eat. Besides keep- ing the students of NBHS well filled, they made corsages of Crimson and Gold and sold them for all loyal fans to wear to the New Brighton-Beaver Falls football game. Another of their projects for the year was the selling of name cards to the seniors. Their advisor, Mr. Sheehan, did a fine job, and the Stand Committee has had a wonderful year.

The best reason why Brighton should holler and yell is the six peppy cheerleaders that lead us in cheers at the pep meetings and games. In order to have their cheers polished up as best they can, the cheerleaders spend a lot of time practicing. Besides this they plan all the pep meetings for the football season, and this is a task that is not to be taken lightly. They also help select and coach the reserve cheerleaders. This year our girls have bright new uniforms for basketball season, crimson jumpers and gold blouses. They surely do make a pretty picture out there on the gym floor. Gerry Smieska and Bunny Petuch shared the duties of head cheerleader this year, and Miss Bergan filled the capacity of Faculty Advisor.

A lot of the “behind the scenes” work that most of us take for granted is done by the group of hard working guys known as the Stage Crew. Whenever there is any kind of program on our stage, such as chapel, class plays, special programs, or outside functions, the Stage Crew is back there, keeping the lighting at its best, making sure the “mike” is at the right volume, and opening and shutting the curtains at the right time. Besides this, the Stage Crew goes over to the gym be- fore every dance and sets up the P. A. system, selects records, and helps in all the little details that make our dances more enjoyable. Our thanks to the boys who made our stage productions turn out so well. [74] Band Oficers FRONT ROW—Don Myers, Don Albanese, Walter Gorgas, John Shuster. BACK ROW—Janetrose Gilliland, Catherine Miladin, Linda Kelvington, David Douglass, Eugene DeMarco, Gary Couch. At 8:00 every morning during football season, the familiar strains of the band could be heard at the Oak Hill field, as the band learned and practiced the drills and formations which enabled them to put on snappy half-time shows. A particularly enjoyable show was “The Story of Two Alumni” presented at the Beaver Falls game. The concert presented in March was arranged especially for audience appeal, ranging from “Bach” to “Boogie.” Besides our new band director, Mr. Robert Drumm, to whom much of our success is due, there were many other new attractions this year. The new pit band plays modern theatrical music for the class plays. Harmony and theory classes have been organized to prepare students for future musical work. See instruments have been added, including two altoniums and a concert drum. Night rehearsals in the gym enabled us to put on better shows. Twenty-two sen- iors including three majorettes and one drum major will leave the band this year. We look forward to another successful season.

This year the Mixed Chorus built a fine reputation around its fifty-seven voices. This select group of vocal musicians performed admirably in their rendition of the ““Messiah” at Christmas and in the Spring Concert. Besides the programs which they work out for the school, they were requested by the Ministerial Association to sing special selections at the services for the presenta- tion of the New Standard Revised Bible and for the Thanksgiving program. The chorus is under the direction of Mrs. Geraldine Robinson.

By far the largest of the musical groups at school are the Girls’ Choruses. This year the large number that were eligible made it necessary to divide them into two different groups and as such they have shown their ability to make the switch by forming two excellent singing groups. The Girls’ Chorus is open to all girls in the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes having study halls and the desire: to sing. During the year, the girls under the supervision of Mrs. Robinson, have worked diligently to prepare themselves for their several appearances.

The Chorus Concert found the girls dressed in gowns at which time they favored the audi- ence with several numbers. Then there was Baccaluareate. The girls made a pretty picture in their white blouses and dark skirts. It was then that they sang The Beatitudes by Deis Malotte, Three Chorales from the Passion according to Saint Matthew by Johann Sebastian Bach. Thus is shown that both choruses have performed to a masterful degree this year as one large chorus even though they practiced as two.

A hard working group of boys who give up those all important fourth period study halls are those who belong to this chorus. This is the newest of the singing groups. Although only three years have passed since their organization, they have participated in almost all musical pro- grams since their initial meeting. [84] Quintet One of the smaller organizations in our musical department is an en- semble composed of four lads and a miss who produced such sweet har- mony and all around good listening that in our book they are tops.

The “Lion Eleven” came through a successful season this year with seven wins and three losses. This record does not completely show the merits of the team since the two Class A teams which subdued them went on to play each other for the W. P. I. A. L. championship. The season opened with a one-sid ed Class C clash with Darlington High School. Jim Kairis plunged over in the first quarter and kicked the extra point to start the scoring. Darlington was blanked while Bill Pasquale, Fred Denson, and Rudy Kalcevic each scored once, with Frank Vukich taking two passes from Dick Hummer all the way. Four more extra points by Jim Kairis set up the totals at 41 to 0. The first Class A encounter of the season was with Hopewell and ended with the Lion’s roar still undiminished. The first score came in the second quarter with Jim Kairis plunging over and adding the placement to climax a sixty-one yard drive. The Lions’ second tally came in the third [88] geo ee ROW 1—John Couderc, Robert Dick, Paul Tedrow, Bill Karban, Harold Engle, Dick Sanford, Jim McDanel.

This ended the scoring and blanked the “Vikings” 14 to 0. All hope of a third year in championship competition was lost in a very hard fought struggle with German Township, who made an early score. Our Jim Kairis was able to plunge over to tie the score. Before the half, however, the Uhlans were able to gain another TD on quick opening plays. The Lions fought hard in the second half but failed to capitalize on several scoring oppor- tunities as the Uhlans won 13 to 7. The fourth straight game at the Oak Hill Field gave the Rochester Rams a thriller down to the last second. The first half saw the Rams dominating most of the action but ended scoreless. The second half started with the Crimson tide taking the kickoff and driving all the way to the four [89] yard line. Here a huge hole was opened for Kairis to score easily. The conversion was missed. Early in the final stanza the Rams scored and added the point to take the lead. With but seconds to go the Lions again proved themselves “king of beasts” as Kairis scored from the two yard line. The extra point was successful ending the scoring at 13 to 7. The Beaver Bobcats, who had been hampered with injuries, fell as an easy mark to the mighty Crimson surge. Kairis drove over in the first quarter and “Mickey” Crawford scored in the second with Kairis making one of the conversions. Later “Sammy” Sheffield picked up several well-placed blocks to start him on a seventy-seven yard run which netted six points. Kairis added the seventh. He then plunged over again in the third stanza and a pass from “Rudy” Kalcevic to John Ferrence added six more points in the fourth quarter. Another conversion by Kairis set the tally at 33 to 0. Braddock proved another easy mark for the Brighton boys. In the first quarter Sam Sheffield scored around end from the seven to paydirt. In short order Braddock tied the score at 6 to 6. Nevertheless before the half, a pass from Crawford to Bill Pasquale put the ball in position for Sheffield to score again. The start of the final stanza saw Kairis hand the ball off to Crawford who fired a perfect pass to Dick Sylvester on the dead run for. another TD. Kairis added another point. Sheffield later intercepted a Braddock pass setting up another tally in which Crawford found Pasquale covered, but able to catch a pass in the end zone. Kairis again converted, leaving the score 26 to 6. The Crimson team met the Ford City Glassers on their own territory but suffered no ill effects. Crawford started the scoring by taking a hand-off on the nine yard line and going all the way. A little later Kairis plunged over to add six more points. The Lions could not prevent one Glasser TD. With the half nearing, a pass from Crawford to Sylvester clicked for the third touchdown. The third stanza went scoreless and it was not until the last o f the fourth that Kairis could again reach pay dirt. The tally stood at 24 to 6. The valiant Lions were crushed by the powerful Midland Leopards, who completed the season undefeated and with the championship. The first quarter went scoreless, thanks to a good pass defense by Sheffield. The Leopards made two sizeable drives in the second quarter for tallies but failed to convert. The second half saw the Leopards taking the kick-off and going all the way. Toward the end of the period it looked like they would score again but Dan Hunter picked up a fumble near the goal and raced eighty-nine yards, only to be stopped eleven yards short of the Midland goal. His efforts were not in vain, however, as Kairis powered over for six points. The Leopards scored on two more long drives and added an extra point to make the score 33 to 6. The greatest thriller of the.year took place as the Brighton “Buzardmen” met the Monaca ‘Brunomen” at Oak Hill. The first stanza ended scoreless, as two hard drives were stopped. In the second quarter the Indians drove seventy-one yards for a touchdown. The extra point was made. The Lions fought back as Vukich took a pass from Kairis and went all the way. Jim missed the conversion and the score remained 7 to 6. In the third quarter a shower of accurate passes brought the ball in position for Sheffield to drive over. Kairis made the placement. A Brighton [90] fumble paved the way for seven more points for the Indians. The Lions took the kick-off and start- ed a great drive which was climaxed by a perfect twenty-two yard touchdown pass from Craw- ford. to Sylvester. This ended the scoring at 19 to 14. When the Lions came up against the Tigers in the traditional game of the year , they met the stiffest competition that they had met in a long time. To add to the dismay they were without the passing and running ability of “Mickey” Crawford. Nevertheless the Lions showed a great fight- ing determination. As the game started, the Tigers kicked off and could not stop the ball from being carried to their own eighteen. Here Joe Walton intercepted a pass and ran eighty-five yards to score. By the half the Tigers had a 20 to 0 lead. After the half the Tigers took the kickoff and were able to go all the way but that was their last. The last great Crimson drive failed. In the last quarter, they reached the Tiger eighteen but a fumble occurred and the Tigers won 26 to 0. Sco res Nevebrighionet mee a) bon oce. ), see Darunpton: 0 News brightous)| tas ee. 4 50. == .

The reserves under Mr. Croft came through the season in fine style, as their record well shows. What little they lacked in weight was more than compensated by a lot of fight, the will to win, and by the way they all played as a team for the team. Most of the scoring was done with passing involving Dave Pasquale, John Ferrence, and Dick Hummer. Hummer’s hard driving and Joe Salamone’s educated toe also added considerably to the tally.

Although they did not have a successful season in the way of scoring under their coach Mr. Franco, they have gained the values of good sportsmanship, and the will to win, no matter what the odds, along with the fundamentals of football. With these well in hand, there is nothing that can stop them from attaining greater glories in the years to come. Brighton es geen re eGR ig)” cual g fron Md ore Oe es .

Midland walloped the Lion five by a 67-40 score. Roth, Voskuhl, and Ferrence each had 8 markers and Mike Karas scored 21 for the Leopards. The Millermen visited Wampum and were beaten by the Class B Indians by a score of 80-60. A bright spot was the performance of Chuck Roth who ripped the cords for 29 points, tieing a school record. On the home floor the Lions swamped Freedom 64-44, Roth accounting for 15 markers and Voskuhl 16. New Brighton defeated Beaver, 65-54, on the Bobcats’ floor, Voskuhl scoring 21. The Rams of Rochester just managed to get by a determined Brighton team as they won 55-50 in a spirited fray. Ralph Voskuhl paced the scoring column with 15 points. The Crimson five took one of their worst drubbings of the season from the eventual Section VIII winners, as Monaca won by a 62-29 count. The proteges of Coach Miller bounced back with a 62-54 victory on the home floor of Hope- well. Voskuhl led the scoring for the fifth straight game, as he counted 20 points. Midland again tromped over the Lions by a 77-37 margin. Roth tallied eight for the losers. In a non-league contest Wampum defeated New Brighton 72-52, as the Lions employed a semi-freeze in the last half to hold the scoring down. Voskuhl accounted for 13 points and Craw- ford 12. Freedom won their first league game of the season, defeating the Lion quintet, 62-60, on the Bulldogs’ floor. Collins sank a hook shot with seconds left to clinch the victory for Freedom. Roth and Voskuhl each scored 17 for the losers. At Dawes Gym, New Brighton once again conquered Beaver 55-41. Richie Smith led the pa- rade with 13 markers. For the second time, Rochester barely squeaked by the Lions 62-60, in an exciting game which saw the lead change hands several times in the closing minutes. Ralph Voskuhl scored 19 points. New Brighton won 4 while losing 6 in exhibition play, and had 5 wins against 7 losses in league games for an over all total of 9 wins and 13 losses. We finished in fourth place in Section VIII, behind Monaca, Midland, and Rochester. This was an excellent record since Coach Miller had no returning lettermen from the previous season.
