51+ GRIDIRCN TEAM GAINED VALUABLE EXPERIENCE Although the All Star football record of one win, two ties and three losses is not too impressive, the boys did learn the fundamentals of the game. More than 75 boys turned out for football last fall and were issued suits. From this group the twenty six boys who had played a minimum of seven quarters received letters. In their debut the Quakers lost a hard fought battle to Alliance State Street 12-O. United Local then invaded Reilly Stadium and Salem won a thriller in the closing minutes of play 6-0. The Frosh then lost their next two games, one to East Palestine h2-O, and one to Steubenville 3h-O. In their two final games the Quakers tied both East Liverpool 8-8 and United Local 6-6. For the Quakers John Panezott and Dave Edling were the leading ground gainers. Andy Sapen proved to be the best de- fensive man. A unaminous vote of appreciation goes to all who helped to make the football season a success.

Under the direction of their patient and good natured sponsor, Miss Virginia Snyder, the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade pepsters gave a fine per- formance and cheered the teams on to victory. Since there were three groups, it took some planning to provide uniforms for all the cheerleaders. For the first part of the season the seventh graders wore black burmudas and gray bulky knit sweaters with their letters added to their uniforms. The eighth graders wore the regular seventh grade uniforms I consisting of red jumpers with white blouses and black neck scarfs Although the ninth graders found their last year's uniforms a little snug and uncomfortable, they did not let this handicap interfere with their cheering. h With a limited budget, only six new uniforms could be pur- chased for ninth grade cheerleaders. But this helped to solve the uniform problem. The seventh grade cheerleaders inherited the eighth grade uniformsg the eighth graders wore the uniforms that had formerly been used by the ninth graders. At an award assembly, the cheerleaders along with the bas- ketball and football players were recognized before the student body. The seventh grade pepsters received letters while the eighth graders were awarded miniature megaphones and numeral insignias. All ninth grade pepsters received a sterling silver metal with a megaphone and the name cheerleader engraved on it. Diane Dawson was manager of the ninth gradersg Diane Scullion, of the seventh and eighth grade groups.

53 THINCLADS COME A-RUNNIN' A good turnout of seventh, eighth, and ninth graders an- swered Coach Martin's call this year for tracksters.
