.n E I94I NORW 1941 NORWI PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF NORWIN HIGH SCHOOL, IRWIN, PENNA. PORTRAYING THE ADVANCED METHODS ADVOCATED BY THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. PHAS A MODERN BUILDING EQUIPPED TO FACILITATE TI-IE TREND IN .. MODERN EDUCATION Iiducation today is centered around the well-equipped school building. Since modern educators have come to the conclusion that learning comes through well directed activity, the trend has been to utilize the IHOSI modern forms of teaching and equipment in the school. Norwin symbolizes such a trend in education. Briefly reviewing its growth from 1916 when Norwin opened with an enrollment of three hundred and forty students to today when the enrollment has reached the thousand mark, we find that much has been done in the Way of providing for a well-equipped school plant. ln 1937 the annex was opened for use, thus eliminating the two session day and opening the way for a wider and more comprehensive academic program. 'I'he home economics department was enlarged, so that girls could obtain extensive instruction in household arts. Classrooms were made available for all teachers of subject materials. An industrial arts department was added that offered courses in woodcralt, electric welding, and machine work. 'lio facilitate such work many new pieces of equipment were installed, thus giving Norwin one of the best equipped shop departments in the district. The commercial department was given larger quarters and more equipment. This enabled the commercially-minded students to secure business training that will aid them after graduation. VVith the addition of a modern well-equipped gymnasium Norwin has and is providing wholesome athletic and social programs. ilihese mean much in the lives of the future citizens of America. In fact, with so much emphasis being placed on health education all schools feel justified in providing a thorough and adequate physical program.

However, traditional procedures have I10t been discarded, but rather combined with modern tendencies to make a well-balanced and all-around school program. Because of this, we are justly proud of our school, and feel that We can do it honor by portraying in our yearbook the various ways by which the modern program of education is presented at Norwin.

PEARSALL Superintendent of Schools j. VV. CLAWSON ,rincipal of Norwin High School LEADERS IN THE MODERN TREND Norwin is fortunate in having adminis- trative leaders who recognize the need for modern procedures and equipment. In Mr. Carl C. Pearsall, Superintendent of Schools, We find those qualities that make him a progressive leader in the educational held. ln the years he has been afliliated with Norwin, he has brought to a culmination a building program that has given us a well equipped school plant. Moreover, he has encouraged the enlarge- ment and enrichment of the curriculum for the schools Linder his supervision. Mr. john W. Clawson, principal of Norwin, has always believed in progres- siveness in his supervision of activities at Norwin. ln planning schedules, regulat- ing attendance and discipline problems, supervising curricular and extra-curricu- lar activities, Mr. Clawson has shown his belief in the modern trend in education. His sympathetic direction of the prob- lems of the boys and girls have marked him as a friendly adviser. 1 ADMINISTRATION THE BCJARD OF EDUCATION 'llhe theme of Modern lfducation charac- terizes everything that the Board of liducation is constantly striving to achieve in their supervision of the educa- tion of the youth of our community. During the past years, this group has borne the most essential responsibility of the community, that of educating its prospective citizenry with a conscien- tious sense of duty and service.

Schwartz, Barton, VVollam Ella- -Queen of the Hop THE I94I NORW FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE The Senior Class of 1941 entered Norwin in the fall of 1937. They elected as their leaders during the trying freshman year, Glenn Gongaware, president, Harry Wisser, vice president: and Emma jean Helman, secretary. The class of 141 was the first incoming class to have full day sessions and the results were continuallv shown throughout their four years at Norwin. As freshmen the class was a little inexperienced, but in spite of this they participated in numerous clubs. Their dramatic endeavors were consid- ered on par with upper-class productions. Many classmen joined the Press club, music groups, and as many attained scholastic recognition. By the fall of 1938 the class of '41 had become a little more accustomed to high school life. They were joined by the students from the junior High School and together these groups elected Nevin Wollam, Robert Swenson, and Emma jean Helman, president, vice president, and secretary. Again in their sophomore year, the members of the class partici- pated in club, social, and scholastic activities throughout the term. In September 1939 they started in on the last half of their high school careers by electing Nevin Wollam, Regis Burlas, and Ella Barton to lead them- The juniors were concerned mostly that year with ways and means of raising money for the annual junior-senior Prom, and the numerous other activities encoun- tered during the junior year. The trying task of senior administra- tion was entrusted to Regis Burlas, Nevin Wollam, and Ella Barton,With Mr. Schwartz, as adviser. Senior activities were numerous and the class was busy the Whole year with such things as Gift and Announcement committees, the Christmas Hop, and varied other social activities. The climax came with frenzied preparation for the Senior Play, the Pageant, and Commencement exercises.

MUN In I 4 , i THE I94I NORW UNDERCLASSMEN PROVIDED WITI-I A RICH SOCIAL BACKGROUND 'lihe underclassmen of Norwin were, as usual, very active this year. 'lihey took an active part in all extracurricular functions. 'Iihe schedule was a full one, both socially and scholastically, and the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen can feel that they contributed much towards making the past year a highly successful one. Ir would be impossible to name everyone who had a part in this success, but we shall endeavor to mention some of the most outstanding underclassmen in scholarship, athletics, clubs, and other activities. 'llhe junior class sponsored its annual junior-senior prom and farm frolic, and revived the long-discarded tradition of a junior-senior party. They also en- joyed choosing class rings which arrived April 28th. For the successful operations Interest in world arlairs of the plans of the junior class during the past year, much credit belongs to the class oflicers. black johnson, class presi- dent, was outstanding in publications as co-editor of the Norwin Iii-Weekly. I-le also acted as master of ceremonies at several assembly programs and was general manager of the basketball team. jane Wyncoop, junior secretary, a mem- ber of the lllri-Hi-Y, was outstanding in athletics. 'llhe vice-president, Clifford Taylor, a Hi-Y member, was on the basketball squad. Ray Siegel and Fred Uhlig were also notable basketeers and figured largely in Norwin athletics. Ruth Frisk was noteworthy in athletics and a very active member of the Bi-Weekly business stall. Art Weaver and Christy Laffoon, both band members, made classes interesting with their lively wit. Pause lor refreshments i SOCIAL LIFE Charles .lohnston and .lack Sprankle should have a round of applause for organizing the First corporation on record at Norwin, and Charles figured as the junior literary-genius-to-be. lfsther 'llyler earned three cheers for her clever observances in French class and ,lack Scott rated as the junior most resembling Mickey Rooney. In a musical way, the outstanding juniors were james Soukup, Robert Dunn, Hazel lVlclVluun, .lean Lang, and Phyllis Widmyer, who all played important roles in the operetta, Iolanthe. Jennie Mae lVlistero and black Klassen entertained many times with renditions of popular songs, while Betty Santmyer pleased audiences with her tap dancing. .loan Yoney, Thelma Cipra, and James Helman were probably the most outstanding juniors, scholasti- cally. Howard Bullock and Louis Kober worked in the sports department of the Bi-Weekly with Howard as sports editor. Louis belonged to the football and basketball squads and worked hard and well on both. And now we come to the sophomores. They had their freshmen-sophomore party and published the Sophomore Bla-Bla. Their president was Scott Hockensmith, who took the lead in the sophomore play.

In the sophomore play were Else Gregor, Malcolm Hamilton, Harry Davis and Isabelle lfxton. lflse Gregor also wrote for the Bi-Weekly, while Malcolm, who was very fond of practical jokes, was known as the sophomore jester. Another member of the dramatic department was Dale McMunn who entertained everyone so hilariously as the baby in an assembly sketch. Clara Altman distinguished her- self for her singing and Charles Smith for his delightful musical talents. Some good-grade-gettersl' among the sopho- mores were Vivian Sensenich, blames Drylie, Ray Moore, lflse Gregor, and Ray Wollain. The sophomores were especially proud of their basketeers, and with good reason, for they had many of them: Blaine Shea, lfdwin Clarke, David Anderson, john Johnston, Joe Holly, and hlim Tharp. Virginia Scherff was a sopho- more cheerleader and Gloria Parks could be identified in any crowd by her lovely clothes. You can see by this array of names that the class of '43 is headed for bigger and better things at Norwin. Although the freshmen did not have much opportunity to shine in the different fields, they showed signs of becoming an outstanding class. They got off to an excellent start with Eldon Carlson as president, and secretary Betty Erickson. Thomas javior was on the basketball team, while Charles Cuccaro was very much interested in football. Geneva Kleckner was an out- standing mathematician, we hear, and ffdward Smetak was taken into the Leaders' Club. No school history would be complete without a review of the activities con- ducted by the ninth graders of the Trwin .lunior High. After settling down to the usual school routine, the students eagerly repeated the tradition of publishing their newspaper, the lrwinite, of which Lois Clarke was editor. Helping to enliven their school year were many enjoyable social functions-the main event being the annual Hallowe'en Jamboree. Febru- ary also proved to be a very unusual month with the Press Club sponsoring Junior High's first tea dance. Adding to the educational aspect of the 1940-41 Hot musicu Fun at Farm Frolic I' THE I94I NORW term, was the organization of new clubs. The outstanding ones being the Library Club and the Dramatic Club, which rapidly progressed, because of expert guidance. Thirty Minutes with Santa Claus' and The Star Flower, an lndian legend, were the annual drama- tizations presented by the entire school.

Meeting the needs of the student for this experience are the two publications of Norwin-the Year- book and l3i-Weekly. A trip to the printers, a worried look about due articles, or reading along proof galley-these are a few of the many duties which confront the staff members of the Norwin Bi-Weekly. The editorial staff, under co-editors Marilyn Hayes and .lack johnson, was kept busy meet- ing the deadline once every two weeks, hunting for news, rewriting assignments and proof reading. The business staff, headed by Nevin Wollam, was engaged in its numerous duties throughout the school term working for subscriptions, keeping advertising going, and collecting payments from subscribers. Clinking silver, a busy pencil, the staccato beat of a typewriter-these are all indications of the serious work of the members of the Norwin Yearbook staff. The business staff, under business mana- ger, Iflton Kunkle, proved the capability of the student of today by selling more yearbooks than in any previous year and doubling the list of patrons. Under co-editors Patricia Anderson and James McClellan, the editorial staff strove for a more candid composition and more pic- tures, formal and informal, for the I9-H annual. At various times during the year the two staffs combined to promote journal- istic activities. To promote the social life of the school and to raise money for expenses, the staffs collaborated on the sponsorship of the first major dance of the year, the annual Christmas Hop. The Yearbook and Bi-Weekly staffs, under the advisership of Mrs. Isabel Kerner and Mr. Paul Brown, respectively, at- tended seceral conferences in which mem- bers of the staffs participated. One never-to-be-forgotten trip was the one to the C.S.P.A. Convention in New York. .lean Dobbie, of the Bi-Weekly, Pat Anderson of the Yearbook and Mrs. Kerner, Yearbook adviser, attended.

'- -L JOURNALISTIC TRAINING GIVES VALUABLE EXPERIENCE QUILL AND SCROLL Kunklt Dobbie Hayes, Anderson, Heasley, McClellan Extra-curricular activities in the school must have definite purposes for function- ing. The organizations pictured on these pages definitely help to prepare their members for leadership. Foremost among these activities is the Quill and Scroll, an organization to which only outstanding journalism stu- dents may belong. Marilyn Hayes, Patricia Anderson, -lean Dobbie, Gail Heasley, Elton Kunkle, and james Mc- Clellan were the six honored seniors to be chosen for membership into this inter- national society. The organization's pur- pose is accomplished by encouraging ubudding journalists to take their jobs seriously and thus eventually becoming worthy of entrance into this society. Recognizing both character and leadership is the Tri-Hi-Y. The members of this organization met during the past term every Monday after school to rub shoulders. Conducting covered dish dinners, packing Christmas baskets, and alternating with the Hi-Y in the reading of the Bible in regular assemblies-were a few things the members participated in during the year. Several of the girls attended a Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y Rally at Jeannette. Acting as president was Jean Dobbieg vice president, Helen Haslopg secretary, lileanor Clawsong and treas- urer, Marian Siegel. ORGANIZATIG By creating and maintaining a high standard of Christian fellowshipf, the Hi-Y club has definitely helped in the development of the qualities of a leader. Headed by Regis Burlas as president, Robert Swenson, vice president, James McClellan, secretary, William Uhlig, treasurer: and Mr. Henry Vernail, ad- viser, the Hi-Y club participated in many of the activities of the school. In con- junction with the Tri-Hi-Y, the club prepared and distributed baskets to needy families at Christmas. A basketball team, composed of members, challenged some of the teams in the school such as the lettermen and the teachers. The annual Father and Son Banquet was held March 12 and a swimming party in the spring. Educational trips, entertain- ments, and parties were planned and carried out by the program committee. oReANlzATuoNs AT PREPARE FOR LEADERSHIP 'I'Rl-lll-Y CLUB Anderson, l.ycett, Sowasli, l,ewis, llellmann, Wyncoop, Mcllugh, Blair, Nliss Jones, Miss Ramsey, Clawson, llzlslop, Siegel, Evans, Barr.

What would this world be like without music? The possibility of such a catastrophe fills even the cynical youth of today with much horror. Helping to avoid this possible dilemma were the many musical organizations of Norwin which furnished the melody for all school occasions. Fore- most among these organizations was the Norwin Band, which added zest and zip to many a football game. Arrayed in their sparkling blue and gold uniforms the band members added a colorful touch to the athletic activities as they performed their intricate and brilliant drill maneuvers. 'ilimmyn Weaver, leader of the band, deserves the credit for assembling these clever and well executed formations. After the completion of football season the band retired behind the scenes and relinquished the spotlight to the Orchestra. This organization of unsung heroes and heroines provided the musical accompaniment for Iolanthe,,' and to climax a very successful season furnished the musical background for the Commencement exercises. The Orchestra is made up mainly of students who prefer music ranging from Chopin, or classical music, to jazz or swing. Also doing their part in the prevention of the lack of music was the Boys' Glee Club. Attired in snappy uniforms of noblemen and peers, the boys in the Glee Club made their appearance in Iolanthe, a very memorable event. In addition to their part in Iolanthe, the boys appeared in assemblies and participated in the Commencement program. Another popular singing group was the A Cappella Chorus, Norwin's most formal music group. Under the experienced and eH:icient direction of Mr. Hetrick, this group of mixed voices has participated in most of the music events of the year. Besides singing in regular chapel programs, the mem- bers also sang for the Women's Club and in several churches. i 'Qn 3. ORGANIZATIONS B.-NND l l.aH'oon, Good, Gahagan, l Nliller, nl.

'1'1Tt', Q'l:11'k, ' 'T1c'5,'l3l PLEASURE AND ADDED SKILL GAINED THROUGH CLUBS Some of Norwin's clubs are for the purpose of teaching the members to become more efficient in their everyday studies and also to give them pleasure in the exercise of these studies. The Girls' Lyric Clubs were almost wholly for pleasure and the girls did experience pleasure as they met and rehearsed under the direction of Mr. Harold Herrick every Tuesday and Wednesday. Promoting musical appre- ciation among the girls was the primary purpose of this organization. A sopho- more and freshman girls' chorus was newly organized this year. This was necessary because of the large number of new and inexperienced girls who wanted to become members of the Girls' Lyric Club. Many hidden talents were dis- covered among these young girls and under Mr. Hetrick's experienced training many advanced to the older group. Aside from their appearances in chapel and general assembly programs, the club aided in the programs of Music Week. The members also participated in the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Iolan- tl1e, and Baccalaureate services. To teach serious-minded commercial students to become more skillful, the Order of Gregg artists was formed under the competent supervision of Miss Florence Saunders. Meeting every Friday in the Office Training room during the regular school hours, the members of the club participated in typewriting and shorthand contests. These contests stressed the importance of speed and u Rehea rsal time accuracy in the practice of the steno- graphic art. The purpose of the Typing Club was to teach proficiency in typing. It was organized under the guidance of Miss Anna Santner. The meetings of the club were held Wednesday mornings in the Typing room. The junior and senior members of the club strove for accuracy in the speed drills, which were given at every meeting. A study was made of typing and the problems that confront the secretary in a modern business ollice. Ballet group MN.. The Mouse's Scene Lines, lines, and more lines lt's the voice that counts Make-up plays a big part THE I94I NORW DRAMATIC AN ENCOURAGE Lights out, the music softens, the audi- ence hurries to their seats as the curtain rises on Norwin's dramatic productions. Iolanthe, the sixth annual Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta, was the most out- standing dramatic event of this year. This comic operetta was under the capable supervision of Mr. Hetrick and Miss McMaster. The large cast, com- posed of the combined musical groups, was headed by Robert Perry as the Lord Chaneellorg Robert Shumaker, Earl Tollolerg Robert Dunn, lfarl of Mount- arartg James Soukup, Stepheng Hazel McMunn, Iolanthep Phyllis Clarke, Phyllis, Phyllis Widmyer, Queen of the Fairiesg and Melvin Buzzard, Private Willis. The story of lolanthe presents Gilbertls favorite themes of duality and plurality with a skillful blending of reality and fantasy. '4Henry Aldrichf, the popular radio serial was the theme of the annual senior play, What a Life. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Patterson this year's senior play was able to surpass all pre- vious productions. The members of the Cast included: Nevin Wollam as Henry Aldrich, Leone Howell, Miss Shea, Donald Biggs, Mr. Bradley, Robert Perry, Mr. Nelsong Martha Woomer, Barbara, Robert Newlin, Georgeg Wil- liam lfichenberg, Mr. Morrison, Gail Heasley, Billg Rose Ann Savage, Miss Pike, lilla Barton, Miss Eggleston, Marion jereb, Mr. Vecchittog Jean oRsANlzATloNsl SIC PRODUCTIONS T INTEREST Dobbie, Mrs. Aldrich, Emma Jean Hel- man, Miss Wheeler, and Robert Shu- maker, Mr. Fergerson. The plot of What a Lifel' dealt mainly with the trials and tribulations of an average but mischievous high school boy. In striving to present a commence- ment program that was original and interesting, the seniors staged on June fourth, an historical fantasy, The Dream of Freedom. Consisting of many mem- orable scenes of the past such as the signing of the Magna Charta, the landing of the Pilgrims, a meeting of the Con- tinental Congress, and the trial of the abolitionist, john Brown, this pageant made the cynical and disillusioned youth of this modern age realize the real mean- ing of freedom as it has appeared to people of all ages. Under the able direction of Mr. Schwartz, The Dream of Freedom' was a complete success. -Iovially received at Norwin were the many one-act plays and skits presented at school assemblies. Characteristic of these was the one-act play given by the sophomores, The Great Allowance Battle, starring Scott Hockensmith, lsabel Exton, Malcolm Hamilton, Else Gregor and Harry Davis. Miss Elsie Barnard, adviser of the Sophomore Dramatic Club, directed this play. ln addition a variety program was staged by the talented students under Mr. l-letriclc's direction. This was for the benefit of the junior class. j i g, 7, g tg , 55, 52 ,k lf f f ., , -T .x,fif,.,A 3.

This policy is carried out by the Projection Club, the purpose of which is to instruct its members in the opera- tion of the school's new sound projection machine. By learning the intricacies of one of these modern machines, the members could not only train for a, future vocation, but also help Mr. Clawson, the adviser, when time did not permit him to be present at assemblies to run the machine. This was one of Norwinls new clubs which was formed with the idea of providing more extra-curricular activities in which all the students could partici- pate. The Etiquette Club also teaches students to do something useful. The ac- tual purpose of the club this year, under the advisership of Miss lVIaclVlaster, was to instruct its members in manners and correct customs of polite high school students. Besides its serious aspect the Kitchen Experience club provided much of the needed social activity for the underclasses by putting on numerous skating parties, all of which met with Wide success among all the students of the school. The group enjoyed the many talks given for them by various teachers in the school on etiquette and other appropriate subjects. The Library Club is one of Norwin's most active training clubs, for the members participate in its activity almost every day by helping in the library. Although most of their duties are in running the library, the girls spent much time in the preparation and mend- ing of worn books and take care of their circulation. This club actually began at the beginning of the second semester when they elected ol'l'icers and formed the Library Club. Miss Carrie Sowash acted as adviser while Anna Smetak, jenny Lindh, and Ethel Savage served as president, vice president, and secre- tary, respectively. The purpose of the T. lf. G. is to create an interest in home economics, to provide a social organization for the senior girls and to give special training in home economics. ln addition to their regular meetings of open discussion, the club had special speakers talk on prob- lems of etiquette and beauty culture. Under the supervision of lVIiss Norberg, the girls gained much practical exper- ience by serving at the various banquets held by the different clubs. During the year, the girls staged several parties and outings and prepared Christmas baskets for the Orphan's home.

We believe that the four groups pictured on the opposite page are symbolic of purposeful activity and thus are part of the program of the progressive school. Recognizing the need for the develop- ment of leaders in sports, the Leaders' Club was organized several years ago at Norwin. As has been the custom the boys who were athletic-minded and showed promise of being leaders were chosen for membership in the club. This year the boys planned a varied program of sports and bought some equipment for the gymnasium. The technical clubs train for future vocations and teach the line points in the use of many things. This is the purpose of the Camera Club which not only teaches the use of the camera, but also how to develop the film after the pictures have been taken. The club, sponsored by lVlr. Trombley, has taken many snap- shots which the members entered in contests arranged by lVlr. Trombley. The adviser also gave tests on which depend- ed the decision as to which members would receive letters. Another organization which provided extra-curricular activity for athletically minded boys was the l,ettermen's Club. lts purpose was to create better fellow- ship among the boys who were outstand- ing in the major sports during the year. The l,ettermen with help of their adviser, E z H . 6' 1 .. Doorway discussion Mr. David Brown, sponsored one of the most important social functions at Nor- win-the l,ettermen's Ball, held in April. With the proceeds from the ball the senior members received watch charms. Technical is the only word with which one could describe an organization such as the radio club. In its meetings the members learned and practiced code, learned the general theory of radio, and had discussions. Several of the boys have built crystal and tube sets. Visits were made to several amateur stations and to larger transmitting stations. The purpose of this club is to prepare boys for a radio license and to stimulate general interest in radio.

By-Weekly Newsboys and Underclass Yearbook Solicitors Proving extremely capable in helping the business managers of both publications were the Bi-Weekly Newsboys and the Underclass Yearbook Solicitors. These organizations, composed of the younger, inexperienced students who were in- terested in staff work, accomplished an integral part of paper and annual work. By adopting this system of delivery and collection the staffs avoided the confusion encountered in previous years. Under the guidance of Mr. Paul Brown, thirty-two newsboys performed their duties with efficiency and accuracy. They met on the day on which the papers were printed and by each one taking a different home room the papers were soon distributed. Several super- salesmenu were discovered by this system and will undoubtedly be rewarded with better positions on next year's staff To the call for yearbook solicitors juniors, sophomores, and freshmen ap- plied for and filled the positions. These underclassmen, who aided in the Year- book campaign, were named as having indications of salesmanship because of their success in gathering student sub- scriptions and collecting money. As soon as the payment weeks came around the solicitors were busy collecting from their assigned home rooms.

W in L H2 QIEIW ' Mfg , Coach Onder GRIDIRON SEASON HEALTH BUILDING THE I94I NORW Under the direction of coach Tarn Onder, assisted by Roy H. lVlclVIunn, athletic director, the Norwin gridmen faced one of the most difficult schedules in the history of the school. Three new contenders appeared on this schedule: Swissvale, Monesson and Penn High of Verona. Victory is always jubilantly ac- claimed, but defeat was accepted by the 1940 gridmen. In spite of the fact that the untried eleven fought hard for vic- tory in every fray, the obstacles were too great for a small, inexperienced ball clubg and the boys wound up the most un- successful football season in the school's history. Eight times the local boys jogged off the cleat-scarred gridiron, deeply disappointed and on the short end of the score, but always determined to try again, regardless of the odds. The Blue and Gold lost a heart- breaker to the Penn Township lads in their opening encounter of the season. After playing a hard-fought game for four quarters, the home team lost by a 7-6 count. Jeannette was the only other team to be worried by the Norwin squad, but won the battle by an easy 44-12 score. Helpful hints FOOTBALL Karmazin secured a first berth on the All County 'lieam at the terminal post. B. lfiltz was awarded the tackle position on the second All County 'lleam and Clyde Hawk garnered honorable men- tion. 'lihe senior boys who received letters were Connolly, R. Burlas, bl. Karmazin, P. Cappazzi, C. Hawk. D. Karanovich, B. Filtz, F. Snyder, P. Yurisnic and lf. Stenger Cmanagerj. 'lihe lineup usually consisted of Burlas and C. Cuecaro, ends: Filtz and C. Hursh, tackles, Snyder and Karanovich, guards, Karmazin at the pivot positiong Hartland at fullback, Hawk and Clo- hessy or Capazzi, halfbacks and lives at quarterback.

Coach NlcNlunn Coich lN'lcClelland -wr- Norwin varsity basketball ran parallel to football this year, suffering a lean season. The inexperienced passers failed to notch a single victory in the section tilts and won only two non-section frays. John Karmazin was the sole letter- man from last year as Coach Clark McClelland opened the season. Uhlig, Siegel, and Swenson were the only other veterans and they had hut little exper- BASKETBALL ience. The remainder of the squad was composed of new material from the junior high schools, these hoys being used as much as possible to gain practical experience for the future. In spite of their handicap, the failing Hoormenn did manage to give several highly rated squads some bad moments.

Probably the most thrilling of the battles, however, was the last game of the year when the Blue and Gold met Jeannette on the Greensburg Hoor during the county tournament. After playing championship ball throughout four quarters, the local cagers lost the ball game when Zamojc sent a mid-Hoor setshot swishing through the cords in the waning seconds of the fray with the score deadlocked at 29-29. 1-leartbrolcen, the boys came home and hung up their togs, determined to go get 'emu next year. The starting lineup throughout the season usually consisted of Shea, Uhlig, or Plank as forwardsg Karmazin, as center, and Siegal, Clarke, or Johnston covering the guard positions. ,.-.Iss SCORES Norwin 21 Alumni 28 Norwin 22 Penn Twp. 12 Norwin 21 Pitcairn 32 Norwin 34 S.

BOYS' INTERCLASS CONTESTS The boys, intramural sports activities consisted mainly of mterclass and inter- club basketball and lnterclass wrestling. The interclass basketball tournament was held during the second semester in the noon-lunch hour in place of the usual dancing. The teams were chosen from the winners of the various teams within the separate gym classes and coached by members of the basketball team or other leaders. The contest was run by elimination, with one game being played each day. Interclass wrestling was conducted in a manner similar to basketball. During the Hrst part of the last semester wrest- ling was carried on only in the separate gym classes. In this way the winners in the various pound classes from each group were determined. A tournament was then conducted between groups from various classes ranging from ninety-five pounds on up into the two hundreds. These were considered the classic events. PROVIDE ACTION FOR ALL Prizes for both basketball and wrestling were offered. Among the other gym activities two new ones were outstanding. Mr. McClel- land obtained fencing equipment which was used at various times during the year. This equipment consisted of rubber- tipped foils, and for added protection face guards, leather gloves, and heavy canvas jackets. Mr. McClelland also had a set of rings installed on which the class were instructed in acrobatics and exer- cises. Other outstanding activities were volleyball and tumbling which were carried on during the separate class periods. The interclub basketball program was carried on between such organiza- tions as the Leaders' Club, the Letter- men's Club, and I-li-Y. All these activities helped to promote the health interest in our modern high school.

Miss Allshouse was in charge of the entire group whose membership consisted of four seniors, eight juniors and two sophomores. 'lfhese girls worked in the cages, olhciated in games, and did odd jobs around the gym and shower-room. The spirit of competition led many an athletically inclined Norwin lass to join the fray in annual tournaments of hock- ey, basketball, volleyball, mushball, ping-pong, badminton, and archery. Capturing two of these crowns were Betty Loutzenhizer, novice ping-pong champion, and Ruth Frisk, all-school ping-pong champion. Played in February and March was the eagerly awaited basketball tourna- ment. All of the four classes had peppy teams and it was only after many exhausting games that the seniors proved victorious. The freshmen showed great promise this year, and although they lost most of their games, they'll probably give the other teams quite a chase next year. After constant practice in the art of skillfully returning the evasive little bird, Marilyn Hayes managed to cop the badminton championship. Ar the close of this badminton tournament, the athletic schedule was complete, except for archery. After the completion of this sport's activity the equipment was put away until next year when another group of enthusiasts will get it out, eager to be- come the new champions of girls' sports.
