Ray, Supervising Principal, waits for Mrs. Eileen Wetzel, his secretary, to give him a columnar total for one of the many detailed reports prepared in his office. Clark E. Ray of Redbank Valley might pause in his work and heave a sigh of relief as our new school building be- comes an actuality. Hard work and per- severance have gone into this realization and Mr. Ray deserves much credit. In addition to this, in his daily routine, his office is always busy with supply orders, salesmen, and all the other work that goes into each day to make a wide- spread consolidation like Redbank oper- ate as smoothly as it does. Most of our students see Mr. Ray each noontime when he takes charge of the cafeteria line. A friendly smile and cheerful re- mark is his daily greeting. Regardless of his endless schedule, Mr. Ray has time for several hobbies, square dancing, and rabbit-raising. The most outstanding quality to those of us who have observed Mr. Ray is that he enioys everything he does, which undoubtedly aids his prog- ress in the field of education. A learned man with top knowledge in his field, Mr. Ray holds a Master of Education degree from the University of Pittsburgh. On one of his visits to our classes, he talked with a seventh-period Chemistry class, and we knew he was a master teacher as well as an administrator. Secretary to Mr. Ray, and hard-work- ing canteen sponsor, is Mrs. Wet- zel. The student body very much appre- ciates the Saturday night recreation pro- gram which she has worked so diligent- ly to help expand. Joseph J. Kata, Principal, dictates a letter to his Sec- retary, Miss Harriet Freeman, concerning the Heart Fund collections in our school. , . ..., V,t.,,,.,w,,s s W, ,W Wm, Wsmfw ...M mmwwfnf-c ,, Y, ,... .L ,. .. Redbank VaIIey's principal Joseph J. Kata efficiently heads the high school administration. He studied at Clarion State Teachers College and received a Master of Arts Degree in Education from the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. Kata has been a good friend to all of us, showing clearly his ability and tact in understanding teenagers. An enthusiastic supporter of the student council, he is always ready and willing to listen to the complaints and advice of the student body. When Redbank was known only as New Bethlehem High School, he coached football here: and his interest and support for this and other sports is obvious. Our principal is a familiar figure at athletic events and on occasion referees some junior varsity football. Into the annals of sports in this and many other communities is written Mr. Kata's reputation for molding novices into unbeaten teams. Mr. and Mrs. Kata attend all of our school proms and can dance rings around some of us. ln the community, he belongs to the New Beth- lehem Lions Club, and to Bostonia Country Club, where he and Mrs. Kata are both ardent golfers. For several years Mr. Kata has done a tremen- dous iob as Clarion County Chairman of the Heart Fund. All of us feel fortunate to have had Mr. Kata's friendship during our high school days.

Our many new classes included Civics, Pennsyl- vania History and Algebra. Oh, how nervous we were that first day we slipped into Algebra class and heard Mr. Caruso, in his booming voice, explain the fundamentals of the course. ln Civics we had our first insight into the prin- ciples of the state and local government. This was also our first experience in having study hall in the auditorium, where peace and order is the rule. Under the leadership of our competent president, Dale Gross, we swung into action early in the year with our magazine sale. There was keen competition between all five of our FRESHMEN Freshman rooms. After much hard work and tireless effort, Mr. Conrad's homeroom was vic- torious. We, the Freshman class, had our share of participants in extra-curricular activities. We were well represented in sports, the band, and various clubs. Early in November came the All-School Prcm. To this we sent as our members of the court, Dale Gross and Kathy Edwards. There is always a time and place for rem- iniscing, but now let us look forward to the fu- ture. Next year we will be in Senior High School where we will take our place as upper classmen. Let us remember: To do well is to succeed. Rowl M. Bish, R. Smith, S. Kunselman, R. Shick, J. Ran- kin, J. McGuire, S. Boyer, S. Sherman, K. Edwards, M. Phillips. Row2 E. Fox, B. Stitt, J. Unger, C.

No one will ever forget the embarrassment of ending up in the wrong classrooms those first few days last year. We will always remember that large stack of textbooks and those long assignments. Changing classes and remembering the name of every new teacher weren't easy, but we know better this year. The class of T960 has been well represented in high schocl activities. We are very proud of the fact that Joe lzzi holds the record for selling the largest number of magazines, which is the main project of the .funicr High School. GRADE EIGHT We were thrilled to see Linda Doverspike and Denny Bish march down the aisle at the All-School Prom as court attendants. lt really doesn't feel or seem much different to be a year older, so what has been accom- plished by our eighth grade year? Now the class is over the hump. The timid- ities and uncertainties of high school life, which assailed us during the past year, have van- ished. We have achieved a class unity, we have really gotten to know one another, and R. V. H. S. has learned all about us. Most important is the personal feeling for Redbank Valley that we have gained, this will grow in the next four years and remain always. Rowl J, Schreckengost, V. Delacour, D. Crissrnan, M. Young, J.

Such a large faculty! And oh, so many books! Yes, things were different. We were Seventh Grad- ers. We soon accepted the change of pace in our school life. We became a part of the organiza- tions. We found our teachers willing to explain the difference between simply playing ball dur- ing recess and being under a Physical Education instructor. Yes, we found help and understand- ing in Redbank Valley High School, We learned the fundamentals of several sports at Redbank Valley. Oh yes! There's a GRADE SEVEN reason why 22 men find a football so exciting, that they knock themselves out just to hold it. We began to understand school spirit cam- paigns and why we could be a great help in de- veloping them. Our patriotism was further enlightened when we began to feel the enthusiasm of Red- bank's Student Council Presidency Campaigns. The upper classmen accepted us as members of their campaigns and we flew to our tasks with- out a word of discouragement. W Our footprints cannot be retraced, we must nggve forward. As we look back on Seventh grade, we know we have gained everlasting friendships, advanced knowledge, and sufficient preparation for entrance into Eighth grade. Row'l M. Nelson, P. Bish, J.

From the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, Miss Boarts carefully chooses her choir members. Annually the choir presents three pro- grams: The Christmas Concert, The Oper- etta, and The Spring Concert. For the con- certs, the choir memorized the entire prc- gram including Redbank's yuletide stand- ard, Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, which has stumped many a would-be musician! The operatic scene, however, underwent scme changes and emerged a quaint folksy operetta, Familiar Stranger, and a ham- my minstrel, Strangely Familiar. The time and work entailed in these productions are repaid by the enjoyment received from pre- senting them and their enthusiastic accept- ance by their audiences. Redbank is especially proud of the chcir's performance at forensic contests. They received a superior at district compe- tition which enabled them to compete at State Forensic held at the University of Pitts- burgh in Pittsburgh, where they received ROW' 5- Aftghef, D- Rvnkift, C- Howfrrth, B- Allen, R.

As their forensic se- lections, the choir sang A Sacred Heart, and Master of Human Destinies. Other projects of the choir, which the members enjoyed, were a Christmas carol- ing party, and a banquet for the alumni choir members. Hard work by the choir and its witty director has certainly paid big dividends. CHOIR Rowl P. Alien, B. Allen, C. Howarth, C. King, J. Mohney, J. Stark, L. Crawford, M. Phillips, L.

WITHOUT A SONG THE RCAD WILL NEVER BEND MIXED CHORUS Basses, a little more volume, please. Sopranos, you aren't holding that last note long enough. These familiar expressions may be heard between breaths as Miss Boarts' amateur Fred Warings try once more to perfect a difficult piece of music. Preparation for forensic, for the op- eretta, and for the spring concert is a constant repetition of this routine. Junior High groups meet regularly to train young vocalists for future fr I positions in the Choir and Mixed Cho- rus, while the senior high depart- ment spends long hours concentrating on perfection. Effort of this sort pays off by producing the kind of music we like to hear. The Spring Concert is a much anticipated and a much rehearsed program. Groups from the entire student body, grades seven through twelve, sing numbers that they have learned during the year, The entire program is under the direction of Miss Boarts, who insists that each group must memorize the numerous songs, both serious and gay, that are to be presented. The above group, the mixed chorus, is only one of the groups whose formal attire makes this presentation pleasing to the eye as well as to the ear. MIXED CHORUS Rowl E. Shreckengost, J. Hetrick, M.

AS REDBANK GOES MARCHING ALONG Probably the most notable single fact as far as instrumental music is concerned, accord- ing to Mr. Ake, our very able director, is this: Students at Redbank are becoming musicians at a much earlier age than ever before. Time was, when a student would find himself a iunior or senior before he would begin to have the musi- cal understanding ofa true musician. This year many seventh and eighth grade students have already displayed the intelligence, understand- ing, cooperation and the desire to learn. These are the earmarks of a real musician. The Redbank band played for all the foot- ball games this past season and won much ad- miration from its many fans for its outstanding wcrk in its football half-time shows. One of the most noteworthy events cf the past year was the band's playing at the Pitt- Rowl K. Kennedy, K. Hayes, M. Downs, M. Aust' , M, M C Il Oregon football game at the University of Pitts- burgh. The Redbank band played for many par- ades and other musical events. Among these were the May Mart, the Autumn Leaf Festival, the Halloween Parade and the Christmas Par- ade. ln the Christmas Parade the band did some- thing entirely different, its band members ap- peared in red and white Santa suits. These col- orful suits coupled with the fact that the music was all memorized and also the inclusion of four different routine steps, won for the Redbank band first place in competition with other Clarion County Bands. The instrumental music department has not gained much this year in enrollment, but the quality of the student who has shown interest in band work is so high that we can only conclude that the future looks very, very bright! in c a ,M.

With the leadership of President Ruthie Silvis and her executive board, the Council inaugurated sev- eral new worthwhile projects. A Leadership Training Course for officers of clubs and classes was conducted. Much interest and enthusiasm was aroused by the posters, Thoughts for a Day, and the slogan contest during the Citizen- ship Campaign. Emphasis was placed on school, pedestrian, and highway carefulness during Safety Week. This year marked the beginning of exchange assembly programs. Our variety show type assembly traveled to Brookville and Union Joint. Redbank welcomed assemblies from the same schools. When Kittanning pre- sented their assembly here, they featured an American Field Service Exchange Student from Sweden. As their yearly project, the council again sponsored the All School Prom under the theme, While We're Young. In their mock carousel, the king and queen ruled over the dance. The student council is grateful to the admin- istration, faculty and advisors for making this school term so successful. STUDENT COUNCIL Rowl S. Angher, M. McCauley, C. Leach, R. White, R. Silvis, D.

Under the able direction of Mr. Ake, these young hopefuls vie for the position of leading Redbanlc's band. To publish Valley Hi-Lites, the school newspaper, is the express purpose of the Jour- nalism Club. Originality, initiative, calculated planning and hours of hard work have pro- Xa.. I l i duced several first-class newspapers that record the variety of school activities. Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service are the four qualities that each person must possess to attain membership in the Na- tional Honor Society. This group, with the as- sistance of Miss Armagost, has made many plans for increasing student interest in these four traits. This group, in future years, may be able to ful- fill these plans and make our school a better place in which to learn. TWIRLERS AND MAJORETTES Rowl K. Kennedy, K. Hayes, J. Kriebel, M. Austin, M.

The services of this group are many-gifts and food to the Armstrong County Home at Christmas time, March Carnival returns to the Heart Fund and World Service. The group ended the year with a Teen-Talk Discussion Course which helped its members solve many problems. To be good Christian citizens and to help others is the purpose and objective of this or- ganization. Under their capable advisors and sponsors, Mr. Conrad and Mr. Summerville, these boys fulfilled their obligations as members of such a humanitarian group. A number of the fellows accompanied the Tri-Hi-Y on their trip to the Armstrong County Home where they dis- tributed gifts and provided entertainment for those Iivinq at the home. SR.

Among the many services this group has per- formed was a trip to the Armstrong County Home at Christmas time with packages of candy and cookies. Members of the club also gave a per- formance which was received with great appre- JR. TRI-HI-Y ciation by the residents. ln February the club sponsored a skating party which proved to be a successful, fun-filled evening. The Teen-Talk discussions were started in January and con- tinued until May as a popular part of the meet- ing, and helped solve many teen-age questions. This club is an affiliate ofthe Y.M.C.A. and bene- fits all who belong by promoting high standards of Christian ideals. Rowl J. Hepler, S. Shreckengost, G. Galbraith, L.

The motto, Toward New Horizons, sums up the aim and purpose of this organization in one simple phrase. These sophomore, junior and senior girls, most of whom are home economics students, and their advisor, Mrs. Smith, are constantly pursuing new ideas and projects that will add to the in- terest and enthusiasm already shown by club members. The most outstanding cccasion of the year for the Future Homemakers of America was the second meeting at which officers were installed for the new term. Last year's president, Louise Best, handed over her gavel to the new presi- dent, Shirley Nelson. Shirley and the other new ctticers each received a red rose, the club flower, SR. F.H.A. A Miller C Horne J Bo er C 1 SR. F.H.A. rnan, B. Stift, B. Troupe, C, Platt, C. Mills, M. Williams, J. Giest. and a pin symbolizing their rank. The girls met on alternating Thursdays. A major activity was raising money so that the members could travel to Harrisburg on January I4 and I5 to see the Farm Show, visit the State Capitol and tour Hershey. This trip was under- written by making and selling refreshments at home football games and by a bake sale held in December. Returns from the sale of extracts fi- nanced the spring tea and fashion show held on May 2. At this event, girls exhibit the fine train- ing they have received as members of the F.H.A. Approximately seventy members make this group one of the largest in the school. With so many anxious workers it is easy to plan pro- jects and get desired results, while enjoying every moment. 60 WILL PROVE INTERESTING IN THEIR USEFULNESS JUNIOR F. H. A., F.F.A. The junior high branch of the Future Home- makers of America, under the supervision of Mrs. Slick, has had an active year here at Redbank Valley. Club meetings were devoted to plan- ning some money-making activity, discussing rules cf good grooming or baking cookies to be served at faculty meetings. The capable officers of the club successfully organized committees to assist in numberless fund drives and charity cam- paigns. The rural area surrounding New Bethlehem makes Redbank Valley's Chapter of the F.F.A. one of the schooI's more popular and most ac- tive organizations. As a part of one of the na- tion's largest teen-age groups, these boys are anxious to learn new ideas and methods that may be employed to make farming successful. Discussions regarding crop rotation, livestock care, and machinery aids make their meetings informative ones. At their annual banquet their Sweetheart, some junior girl who lives on a farm, is crowned and presented with several symbols in her honor. JUNIOR F,H.A X.,..,.! AME RI CA Row I R. Nulph, K.

The main stal'T has charge of any technical work, finances, correspondence, planning, and management. Here the strings representing all the phases ofthe Vallis are tied together to make one complete, prize-winning book. Soliciting contributions from advertisers and patrons is the responsibility of the advertis- ing staFf. They also manage the book-subscrip- tion campaign within the school. Through their efforts sufzlicient funds are raised to finance the printing and publishing of the Vallis. The beauty of the written word, is a thought that the literary staff tries to keep in mind as they compose paragraph after para- graph of copy to convey to you the variety of school activity recorded in this year's Vallis.

Each page tells a story concerning the variety of school activity at Redbank during 1957. The Vallis stat? has tried to produce a book that will please each and every subscriber. Many hours of conference between staff members and advisors, last minute rushes to meet a deadline, layout changes, photo retakes, and financial wor- ries were that were placed in Even only a few of the numerous problems to be faced before the Vallis could be your hands as you now see it. though it was a difficult task, the Vallis staff has enjoyed publishing this book for you. ami Top-Vallis advisors, William: Haidukiewics, pho tographyp Moty Conrad, recording, John Mogle advertising, and Margaret Filscn, general ordinatcr discuss the best methods to ernploy n order to produce a bigger c-nd better Vallis Arne Brinkley, literary advisor, and Val Skinner art advisor, were absent when this picture was taken. left bottom-ln the press room members of the Vallis staff Pete Martin, Jim Stark, at Gathers, and Margie McCauley are watching Sandy Shreckengost type a page of copy for the 1957 Vallis.

This or- ganization is a civic-minded group performing a worth-while service for our school as well as our country. SENIOR USHERS Rowl G. Campbell, K. Unger, N. Crowe, C. Bar- lett, C. Martz, P.

Outstanding scholars who are club rnem- bers may, with a vote of sportsmanship from fellow Iettermen, become a member of the Na- tional Athletic Scholarship Society. These fel- lows aim to promote good fellowship, sports- manship and scholarship within the school. Not even the great sharp shooter, Davy Crockett, had as much opportunity to become acquainted with a gun, as any interested stu- dent here at Redbank has. The newly formed Rifle Club holds its evening meeting in the gym. Here Mr. Caruso instructs members as to the cor- rect care and handling of a firearm. The char- ter of the club enables members to belong to several national associations so that this club has a definite carry-over value. VARSITY RIFLE CLUB Shilling, M. Shaffer, C. Bain, T.

The Senior Club this year premiered the 28-minute sound motion picture of the Crawford Furniture Co. which was produced last year. The film has been shown in assembly and at gatherings of civic-minded indi- viduals in the community. Very soon we plan additional filming of other industrial activity in the area. We're all shutterbugs and eager photo tech- nicians in the newly-organized dark room on the second floor ofthe Stahlman Building. Together with Mr. Haidukiewicz, we've learned to utilize the new rotary print dryer and print washer, we don't like to exaggerate but results of our efforts have been very interesting. With the new equipment, and expert guidance we hope to become a photogenic influence. PROJECTIONISTS CLUB Rowl R. George, H. Perseghetti, C. King. Rowi E. Burns, R. Laborde, P. Martin, D. Lavely, J.

The Junior and Senior Dra- matics offer an opportunity for students of Red- bank to learn the intriguing mysteries of the stage. They learn how to apply make-up, ar- range scenery, and develop realistic character- izations in addition to receiving valuable experi- ence in acting. The ability to feel at ease on the stage is not acquired without practice. Who knows! Some of them may even reach Holly- wood. Have you a secret desire to stalk wild game armed solely with bow and arrow? Could you face the elements with survival -3-ntirely depen- dent upon your skill as an archer? Well, there's a group of archery enthusiasts in our midst with skill not tar inferior to Robin Hood. The Archery Club, under the expert direction of Eugene Ruth- kowski, has accomplished much in the first year of organization. Let's wish them luck and duck as the zing of an arrow is heard. -iid W.

Our sponsors, Mr. Hollobaugh and Mr. Wine- berg, instructed us in the use of chemicals, the operation of the equipment and the purpose of the charts found in Room II. At meetings we discussed new inventions or discoveries and even came up with one of our own once in a while. Acquiring skill in carpentry, building stage sets, and applying knowledge learned in indus- trial arts classes is the purpose of the Crafts Club. Individual and group woodworking pro- iects kept these boys busy all year. Under the direction of Mr. Laughlin, Mr. Traister, and the :tudent ofiicers, the group not only created vari- ous articles but kept the machines in the shop in gccd working condition.

His badge gives him the green light to safeguard the accident-prone students around Redbank Valley. Helping others less fortunate than ourselves should be an objective of every individual. This aim is facilitated by the work of the Jr. Red Cross organization in our school. The humanitarian work of this group is done by a representative from each homeroom who is interested in the welfare of others. Stamp this, please, or I would like to re- new this, are two lines that are tossed at the members of the Library Club as they perform their duties as assistant librarians. Mending books, calculating dues, filing magazines, and finding reference books are only a few of the other ocld iobs they do to be of service to our school. SAFETY PATROL Powl N. Mangiantini, T.

Fall madness, a disease common only in America, had strfckened the area when Redbank Valley opened its football season against the always-tough Golden Tide of Curwensville cn the lccal field. Although we lost, we gave it all we had, which is not indicated by the score. In the second game cf the season the Rey- noldsville victory, watched by several hun- dred fans, was a scoreless tie until the third quarter. We punted and Reynoldsville nabbed it and went all the way. In a game reminiscent of an old-fashioned thriller in which the hero makes the game's extra point as the final seconds are ticking off, Redbank defeated East Brady 13-12. The Bulldogs fought bravely against Kittanning in the fourth game of the season, but they had a strong team and victory for the Bull- dogs iust wasn't possible. The Bulldogs cleaned the Lecpards on October 6 at Sykesville. This victory marked the second for our illustrious eleven. A supreme de- monstration on how to handle the ole pig- skin was given by Perseghetti and Heff- ner. This was Redbank's best showing of the year. Effective employment of varied plays was evident, and the skill and perse- verence of our school's football team did us proud. The Bulldogs lost the slim hopes they had for the Southern Seven honors when the Brockway Rovers nipped them on our home field on October 12. Strangely enough, Redbank was the aggressive team during the first half. However, during the TOGETHER WE Rowl Jerry Mohney, Bill Giifillan, Bob Stover.

The Bulldogs barked at the heels of the Red Raiders of Brookville on October I9 for three quarters, but the Raiders were not to be upset. The home team worked hard and were much stronger offensively than they had been at Brockway, but due large- ly to expert defense and exceptional team- wcrk on the part of the Raiders, a victory for Redbank iust wasn't in the cards. The subject of the Bulldogs defeat by the Clarion Bobcats is a shameful one in- deed. The Cc1ts, their claws well honed and their spirits flying high, scored every time they got their paws on the pigskin. The Bulldogs reached Clarion's 25 during the second quarter, before fumbling. How- ever, almost is proven to be insufficient as Redbank loses. The Rams toppled the Bulldogs on No- verber 2. The game proved very interest- ing and one of the rnost competitive of the season, but the Battering Rams charged on to a victory over the discouraged Bulldogs. This game was a thriller and our team's perseverence and courage made it such. So with the dust of the last battle still hovering over the gridiron, we close this football season with the determination that next year will not find us with the inevi- table Icsses that we succumbed to this sea- son.

ALWAYS VALIANT IN VICTGRY Bulldogs of Redbank chalked up an even season in the diamond record book for 1956- winning five, and losing five. Regardless of the fact that the opposition was formidable, only mighty DuBois of our five opponents remained unbeaten. Mr. Palaggo's nine were strongest in the hurling department, as was shown in the fifth game of the season against Brookville, when veteran Jerry Heffner threw a no-hitter and led R. V. to victory. Perhaps this was in sporting vengeance, since Brookville had earlier handed us defeat in the first game of the season. ln our memory the Sandy Twp. upsets re- main most pleasant. These competitors are listed in the annals of the conquered after two R. V. triumphs. Curwensville presented rough competition in the third game of the season. The team pro- vided ample excitement for enthusiastic ball fans by splitting a double header. A double-header with Clearfield was fifth on the agenda. In the first game, after a gruel- ing ten innings, Redbank pulled ahead to win by one run. However, Lady Luck ran out and we dropped the second game. With five defeats and five victories the baseball season ended. But many of the boys will be back next year. With the first signs of spring we'll be watching for the signs of base- ball.

On April 17 the Redbank squad, under Coach Rutkowski, in the opener of the season was trampled by the Clearfield Bisons. The score, 88 to 2OV2. In the next meet, a triangular affair at home, the Bulldogs sprinted over North Clarion and Union Joint. Redbank piled up 67, Union Joint and North Clarion deadlocked 40-40. The Bulldogs at Clarion on May 4 lost a tough meet 621.6 to 46224. Many thought that Clarion's several fast, experienced sprinters made the difference. On May 12, the County Meet traditionally held at Clarion, loomed an important factor for the home team. Five local teams competed for ribbons and medals. This meet involved keen competition as Clarion edged out Redbank, 55Vz to 41. Clarion-Limestone squeezed out a third place win over Union 35V2 to 35. North Clarion finished last in team score. We were well represented in the District 9 meet held at Clearfield on May 19. Redbank players eligible were Henry Perseghetti, Larry Crawford, Ron White, Leonard Shumaker, How- ard Schreckengost, Dean Hetrick, Ron Shumaker, and Russ Boozer. Larry Crawford was the only track man Redbank had qualified to go to State Meet. All in all the Redbank boys had a fairly good year and will be the team to watch this year. We really need more boys out for this sport. Row1 G. Meinzer, J. Kuhns, L. Tosh, L. Crawford, H. Perseghetti, C. Shumaker, R. Shumaker, P. Martin, Mr. Rutkowslci. Row2 J. lzzi, R. Pitney, L.

ALTOGETHER, GET TOGETHER Redbank's hard-court five met the Rey- noldsville Bulldogs in the first game of the year at Reynoldsville on November 27. Redbank won 44-40 in overtime. Redbank clobbered Parker in a non-league game on December 7. The Bulldogs rallied in the 3rd and 4th quarters tallying 43 points. The score, 87-65. The Bulldogs faced the Sykesville Leopards on December ll. The Leopards stayed ahead from the first quarter. The final score, Sykes- ville-69, Redbank 51. On December 14, the Valley flve downed Worthington 52-43. The Bulldogs rallied early in the game and stayed ahead the whole way. December 20, at Summerville, before a large crowd of local fans, the Redbank Varsity was edged out of a hard-played game by the Summerville Braves. The Bulldogs bit deeply in defeating West Forest 49-4'I on December 28. The Valley squad was stopped on January 4 by Clarion. The score was 53-31. ln their next game on January 8, the Bull- dogs lost against highly-ranked Sandy Twp. The score was 64-46. At Brockway, on a bitterly cold Friday eve- ning, the local boys lost a heart breaker by one point after playing a good defensive, as well as offensive game. Redbank was beaten 74-40 by Karns City in its worst defeat of the season on January 22. When the Bulldogs and the Summerville Braves clashed in their second game of the sea- son on January 23, Redbank Valley lost 67-45. Redbank met Reynoldsville for a second time on February 'l, and the Bulldogs lost a close toss-up 50-48. On February 4, the home squad dropped their second loss by the hands of Sandy losing 64-52. As we go to press the hard-court five have three games to play. They won one-half their games this season and will be the team to watch when they begin practice next year. STAY TOGETHER, WIN TOGETHER Speed, skill and endurance were displayed by the Redbank Reggies as they clashed with their challenging opponents of the hardwood court. Seniors Ellie Colwell and Donna Hayes, old hands at sinking set shots and faking passes, led Miss McComb's cagers to victory in 6 out of 8 games now played. This is an especially good record when one considers the lack of suf- ficient tacilities available to the basketball squad here at Redbank. Rigorous daily practice ses- sions, held after school each day, totaled hours of shooting foul shots, jumping for rebounds, drilling key plays and conditioning by calisthen- ics. Managers Sara Herbert and Nancy Davis issued practice equipment, and kept score at the games which were all played on the opponents' courts. This team has displayed all the desir- able traits of sportsmanship and stamina that produce an A-I team. Vandergrift I, C. S.

GET INTO THE SWING OF THINGS, GO GOLF xr Once one has mastered the basic fundamentals of the game of golf, he possesses a sport which will bring him hours of pleasure the rest of his life. A number of students evidenced interest in this game, as a result last spring an innovation was added at Redbank, a GIRLS' GOLF TEAM. Mr. Kata was very helpful in getting the team or- ganized. With the aid of Mrs. Henry Dague, their coach, the young ladies played teams of equal experience, and remained unconquered at the end of the season. The BOYS' GOLF TEAM, with Mr. Caldwell as their coach, be- gan the season with a thriller. In freezing weather and 'Falling snow Larry Brocious and his op- ponent played the final holes of the match which would break the tie between Redbank and Clearfield. Redbank lost but the boys went on to win other vic- tories. Our seniors, Gene Hut- son and Larry Brocious, corn- peted in district finals competi- tion. Mr. Kata, who is himself an avid golfer, was instrumen- tal in organizing and providing transportation for our teams. We hope you will get in the swing of things, go golf!

This season Redbanlds grapplers met opponents with a grim determination to come out victorious. Fans were treated to thrills galore as the matmen pinned, decisioned, or lost to opponents from some tough Class A squads. Coach Caldwell's constant ettorts to produce a superior squad of matmen have been eftective in training this group to hold its own while pres- sure and tension mount in the air around them. Although none of Redbank's men were un- defeated as far as matches are concerned, their spirit and sportsmanship are obvious proof of their love for the sport. Rowl G, Hepler, M. Hollobaugh, J.
