The Quakers amazed everyone the next week when they walloped East Palestine 35-0. Bob Boone ran wild, as he gained 201 yards rushing for an av- erage of 11 per try. Moe Hollinger con- tributed to victory by blocking two punts. The Quakers looked like dismal fail- ures in their next outing as they were overwhelmed by Leetonia's powerhouse. 27-O. Big Louis J uliano led the Salem de- fense which gave up 191 yards and 14 first downs to the Bears. An unknown came to the fore as Sa- lem trampled Wellsville, 26-13. He was freshman, Ed Bozich, who paced the Qua- kers with two touchdowns. The Quakers got on the credit side of the ledger next as they toppled Struth- ers, 26-6. Ed Bozich scored twice, How- ard Herrington and Ted Boone each, once. The Quakers looked powerful despite a heavy rain which soaked the gridiron. The Barrettmen won number four against Girard after a battle of lines and punts. Big Lowell Myers blocked a kick with four minutes to go and John Szymczyk fell on it in the end zone for the only score of the game. The Quakers lost their third decision to the powerful Potters, 32-0. The battle was much closer than the score would in- dicate. Salem battled valiantly all the way, showed excellent defensive play, and several times got inside the Potter 25 yard line. Liverpool used their great weight to advantage, plus a group of fine running backs to beat the stubborn Qua- kers into submission. Louis J uliano play- ed his best game of the year against the ponderous Ceramists. In the seasonis finale the Quakers scored in every quarter, as they easily de- feated a weak Lisbon outfit. Lisbon fin- ally scored on the last play of the game. and the game ended 25-7. Statistically through the year, Salem was also on top. In total first downs, the Quakers outdid their opponents 84 to 305 in rushing, 1698 to 1315, and in scoring, 131 to 111. Only in passing did Salem fall behind, 98 to 386. Congratulations to Coach Barrett and his team.

CHEERLEADERS Led by Miss Irene Weeks, advisor, the cheerleaders had one of the most successful seasons in the history of Sa- lem High School. Chosen by vote of representatives of the faculty and stud- ent body at assembly try-outs, the group consists of two former cheerleaders and three new members. The girls are Hel- en Chitiea, Donna Lopeman and Gertie Zerbs, juniors, Martha Whinnery, and Betty Whaley, freshmen. The honor of being head cheerleader was shared by Helen Chitiea and Donna Lopeman, the experienced members of the group. During the football season the cheer- leaders presented several pep assemblies and a pep rally, at which time new form- ations and cheers were introduced. One of the innovations was the use of acro- batics in several of the cheers. The cos- tume for the football season consisted of black slacks, white cardigan sweaters, and red beanies. When basketball season came along, the cheerleaders, to everyone's delight and surprise, turned out in snappy new uniforms of white pleated skirts, white blouses, and red weskits. Again the girls introduced new cheers and forma- tions, adapted to the change in outfit and indoor cheering. To these girls and their coach should go a great deal of credit, not only for the hours which they spent in practice, but for the type of performances presented at the games. The student body also de- serves a vote of thanks for the splendid response on every occasion. Whaley, Chitiea, Lopeman, Whinnery.
