Basketball 1 933- 1 934 Captain .. Coarlzm .... For the second consecutive year, the Nor- win varsity basketball squad emerged victor- ious in the VVestmoreland county basketball tournament, copping first honors in the Class The Blue and Gold entry in the annual tourney surprised all dopesters by their dazzling play and scoring power against pow- erful opposition. Entering the tournament as the underdogs, the Norwinites defeated, by decisive scores, three of the strongest teams entered in the competition, Jeannette, Latrobe and Monessen. The victory over Latrobe was especially surprising, as the Section X cham- A division. pions had twice previously defeated Norwin in league competition. The lllue and Gold cagers defeated Monessen in the finals, 39-20. Winning the VVestmoreland county cham- pionship enabled Norwin to retain possession of the circulating trophy for another year. ..

Cheerleaders i Junior Football The organized cheering, capably handled by a squad of seven students, was an enthusiastic aid to the football and basketball teams throughout the seasons. Fred Neiman, '34, was the head cheerleader. His assistants were Robert Datz, '34, Bruce Boyle, '35, Catherine Clohessy, '35, Betty Kuhn, '35, John Fehrs, '36g and Bud Peters, '36, These cheersters, effective, energetic, effer- vescent, were hard-working and tireless in their efforts to speed the fighting teams on to victory. They were an inspiration to the stu- dents at pep-meetings, on the football field, or on the basketball floor, and always have their efforts been appreciated and rewarded with whole-hearted support. The Junior football squad of 1933, the seventh in the history of Norwin, made a fine showing on both their own and their oppo- nents' gridirons this season. The junior squad is made up of varsity aspirants from the two lower classes of Norwin and the ninth grade of the Irwin junior High School. This year the Juniors had a new coach, Mr. Fischer, whose first year was successful, his proteges winning four games and tying one. This team has another achievement to be proud of-their goal line was not crossed all season. These boys received valuable information and drill on the fundamentals of football and you may expect to see a lot of them on the varsity next year. Two scheduled games, one with Greensburg and one with Sewickley, were postponed and remained unplayed be- cause of adverse weather conditions. SCORES Norwin .... ..... Norwin .... .....
