H 1- L-ff-fi UI-H R. B. BARNER Supewimzg Principal The cessation of hostilities has not necessarily brought peace but we are truly grateful for the return of our boys from the fighting front. This is the first gradu- ation since V-J Day and the outlook for the future has changed for those who are completing their high school training. While there is definitely more hope and security, the challenge is perhaps greater than ever be- fore. This challenge not only confronts the graduates but all our people and there must be universal realiza- tion and acceptance of our needs and objectives. The school must do its part in conjunction with the home, the church, and other social agencies to bring about the type of community worthy of the struggle. We should perhaps have a return to a keener religious responsi- bility and a more purposeful seeking after truth, and a more wholesome regard for those about us. 8 High School Faculty MISS FERN AUMAN HARRY M.

Emerick, Advifor Cbicezboniem Staff For years most High School annuals have followed a traditional pattern that made one edition almost the same as another. This year we have tried to give you something different and we hope you will like the changes we have made in the 1946 Chicahonian. Since we have our own photographic equipment, we are able to get pictures of almost any school event. We have made liberal use of these pictures and our annual is be- coming more and more a pictorial record of the school year. It is our hope that we can profit by the mistakes we have made and that we shall be able to give you a bigger and better annual each year.

The Vftza stag For the second year the Stonycreek School Newspaper has been printed instead of mimeo- graphed. The Viklet is printed monthly and is eagerly awaited by everyone interested in our school. The cost of publication is met by charg- ing 40c per year for subscriptions, and through advertising. We also showed a movie and spon- sored a dance for the benefit of our paper. We have a wide circulation since we exchange papers with seventeen other schools, some colleges and the School Press Exchange. Copies of The Viklet are sent to our Alumni in the Armed Services all over the world. LITERARY STAFF Editor-in-chief ,,..... ..,,.,, , . ..,., Mary Louise Felten Arrirtant Etiitorr ,.,.....

As its name implies, this is an exclusive organization based on scholastic attainment and activity growth. This society has already caused an increased interest in scholarship on the part of our students. The club is financed by individual dues and through receipts from moving picture programs. When our charter comes from the National Headquarters, the Somerset Chap- ter will initiate the new charter and install the new members. First officers of our society are: Preridenf, Williztm Pile: Vice Preridenl, Joan Lambert, Secretary, Mar- lene Poorbaughg Trefzmrer, Doris Brown, and Adzfiror, Mr. R. B. Barnet.

Chapter has completed another successful year under the able leadership of Blair Walker. A rotating schedule of meetings gave the Chapter an opportunity for holding two meetings per month at which all members could be present. Each month a guest speaker spoke to the organization on various agricultural subjects. Projects which were conducted by the Chapter were the building of a brooder house, conducting a broiler project, a forest improvement project, and the tapping of the maple trees in the school wood lot. A Father and Son Banquet was held on March 14th. 17 Row I: Lee Walker, James Saylor, Helen Hillegas, Fred Zeigler, Thelma Hillegas, Karl Pile, Jacqueline Sorberg Rou' 2: Kay Crissey, Marlene Poorbaugh, Sara jane Wilson, Donald Lowry, Alvin Saylor, Sara Jane Fox, Mrs. Spangler, Rou' 3: Doris Kimmel, Victor Pandolfi, Karl Poor- baugh, Devon Walker, Bernice Stutzman, Doris Browng Rout' 4: Kenneth Lowry, Robert Musser, William Pile, Robert Gohn, joan Lambert. Band During the past year the band has studied a wide variety of music styles and composers, included among the latter were: Bach, Bizet, Sousa, Goldman, and Berlin. Soloists and special groups were given special attention and outstanding performances were given by Jim Spangler, Karl Poorbaugh, and Donald Lowry. The Brass Sextet composed of Karl Poorbaugh, Robert Gohn, William Pile, Jim Spangler, Robert Musser, and Victor Pandolli, have performed very well in their appearances. Among the events during the year at which the band has appeared publicly were: Community Picnic, Stonycreek Fair, Senior Class Play, Assembly Program, and the Spring Concert.

Lauer zmim' Class History The Class of 1947 at Stonycreek High School has thirty members Though our numb ' . er is small, we have been very active in all the extra- curricular functions of the school. The motto of the class is, Not for School, but for Lifeg the colors are navy blue and white, and for the class H . ower we selected the State Flower, the rhodo- dendron. To support the activities of the class 5 each member pays two dollars annual dues. Juniors will be found in all the activities of the school including band, chorus, staffs of the Chica- honian and Viklet and F. F. A. Sally Wilson, Bernice Stutzman, Esther Weaver, and Lois Boyer are me b f ' ' m ers o the Girls Sextet, while Karl Poor- baugh and Alvin Saylor belong to the Boys Double Quartet. In basketball Karl Poorba h U8 and Alvin Saylor are regulars on the Varsity T . eam, while Roscoe Snyder and Robert Custer are members of the junior Varsity Doreen Heinemeyer is one of our scorekeepers and D ' oris Kimmel is the efficient basketball timer. Bernice S . . tutzman is one of our eight peppy cheerleaders, a group which has attracted very widespread and favorable comment this year. One of the most important events of the year f ' It or the juniors was our Class Play The Demon in the Dark, which was presented on May 2 and 3. This play was a mystery thriller and was quite diffe f rent rom most other class plays. Also dur- ing this year we had a very successful magazine subscription contest from which the roceed p s were 53410.00 At the beginning of the year two 1 . c ass parties were held in honor of Rosalie Miller, Arthur Miller, and Richard Fisher, three of our classmates who have moved from this distr' ict. The Iunior Class played host to the Seniors at h t e White Star Hotel in Iennerstown on May 10 at the annual Junior-Senior prom This was the big social event of the year and was eagerly awt 't d b ai e y the members of both classes. The Class would like to express its appreciation to Miss Wykoff and Mr. Lauer, our advisors, for their help in makin th' d so successful. g is an our other ventures CAST CF HDEMON IN THE DARKH Kneeling- Alvin Sa lor K l . y , ar Poorbaugh, Robert Custer.

The Campbells Are Coming The Campbells Are Coming, one of the most entertaining and amusing plays to be presented at Stonycreek for many years, was given on December 21 by the senior class. Every part in the play was well chosen and well acted. Fred Zeigler, Lois Jane Glessner, and Betty Landis had very difficult characterizations but played them admirably. The play was centered around the efforts of an average American household to determine if a suitor of one member of the family was more in love with the girl, or the money he presumed her family had. In their efforts to settle this question it was necessary to shock the truth out of the suitor and his very much affected mother and to shock the truth into the girl who became very sophisticated when she went away to school. The efforts of the remainder of the family to accomplish this end resulted in the finest entertainment an audience could wish to enjoy.

To write an adequate summary of the 1945-1946 basketball season at Stonycreek Township Hi h Sch l ' g oo is a difficult task-- not because of a lack of material but because it is virtually im- possible to summarize in a few short paragraphs a topic that would make an interesting book. No one but an expert sports writer could do the subject justice. When the season opened on November 30 we knew we had good rea b a m ecause we only lost one regular from last year's district championship team W 1 . e aso knew that some of the teams we would be playing were better than last year. We won our first two games easily then went to Ferndale on December 18 and lost a heart-breaking game by a score of 51-30. We really should have won this game because we had two more Held goals than Ferndale and had three baskets which were disquali- fied. Then followed a victory string of 25 consecutive wins, a feat equaled by only a very few other teams in the State this year. We won every one of our ten league games scoring 527 points to 217 for our opponents. We also beat Somerset High School three times and the following other teams each twice: Shade Township, Richland Township, Everett, and Berlin. Single games were la ed ' h p ty Wlt Alumni, Brownsville, and Lilly, and the Vikings won those. OUR COACH ames E. Lauer 46 At the close of our regular season, we defeated Saxton-Liberty Township for the second year in succession to take the District 5 Class B Championship in a game played on the Somerset High School floor. This victory gave us the right to meet Roaring Spring, champion of District 6, for the Inter-district title. Roaring Spring was generally conceded to be the team which would win the Western Pennsylvania Championship and the Vikings were rated the underdogs. The thousand or more fans who saw this gaine on the Roosevelt junior High School floor in Altoona were given a thrill they will not soon forget. In the last quarter by a superhuman effort the Vik- ings came from live points behind to take the game by a 43-37 score. This win advanced us to a game with East Brady at Punxsutawney on March 26 for the Western Pennsylvania Class B Championship. In another thrilling game, the Vikings upset the champions of District 9 and 10 by the score of 49-37 to give Stonycreek the Regional title. No other Somerset County team in either Class A or B had ever before gone so far in State-wide competition. Thus the Vik- ings were assured a lasting place in Somerset County sports annals. As Western Pennsylvania Regional Champions, the Vikings next journeyed to Wilkes-Barre on SCOREBOARD March 30 to meet Fell Township of Lackawanna County, the Eastern Regional Champs, in the Kingston Armory for the State Championship. Our boys did not play as consistently as they had done in previous games, and as a result we were not able to come through with a win. However, the fans at the game, estimated by the Associated Press to number 5000, were given many thrilling moments and when the score was 35-34 with twenty seconds remaining to play, it was any- body's ball game. Fell Township won by a score of 37-34, and thus came to an end the most suc- cessful season ever experienced by a Viking team. The 1945-46 season will be one to remember for a long, long time. Records fell like leaves in autumn. Among the season's features were the triple defeat of Somerset Cwe had never been able to beat Somerset beforej, the string of twenty- live consecutive wins, double triumphs over all league opponents, winning the inter-district and regional titles, scoring seventy-one points in a single game, most games played in a season, most points in a season, and jim Spangler's feat of scoring 395 points in 27 games and 36 points in a single game. Yes, in the years to come, when we have less successful teams, we will be able to look back on 1945-46 as the Viking's Year.

While unable to win as large a proportion of their games, they did win fourteen of their twenty games played. This would seem to indicate that we will have ex- perienced replacements for next years varsity squad. Kenny Lowry, john Grenke, and Bill Pile of the I. V's. also were Varsity substitutes. Since Kenny and Johnny are Sophomores this ex- perience should have been very valuable to them for next year. Don Baltzer and Bob Musser, two other Sophomores, also showed that they had ability that when further de- veloped should make them starting Varsity players. Leading scorer for the Junior Varsity was Kenny Lowry with 166 points. Other high scorers were Johnny Grenke, Bill Pile, Don Baltzer, and Bob Musser.

The victory was the first in Somerset County Class B Basketball League competition for the Vikings who have won four of live games this season, losing to Ferndale by only one point. Center Walker tipped the ball to Forward Zeigler, who flipped it to Guard Jim Spangler under the basket immediately after the opening whistle. From that point Stonycreek kept in the lead, boasting quarter margins of 5, 13, 14, and 3 points. Jim Spangler, who scored 18 points to lead all scorers, stretched his total to 73 points for five games. Stonycreek J. V. won the preliminary tussle, 20-10.

The game almost went into an extra period when, with time almost up, a double foul was called on Ferndale. Forward Poorbaugh got two free throws and had to score both to tie the score, but one of his tosses went wide of the cords. After the Jackets had gained a 7-4 edge in the first period the Vikings came back to take the second by a wide margin and the visitors held a 15-11 lead at the inter- mission. Ferndale lost the third session by a point, 6-7, but Coach Ed Leaf's lads had just enough reserve power left for a spurt which brought them victory in the final chukker.

By virtue of the Stonycreek players pitching the ball to these two lads, who easily found the nets, Spangler is high in the district scoring race and is a threat to the Bedford Bison's flashy Bud Fisher. For the records, Fisher is the district pace-setter with 207 points, while Spangler has tallied 173 so far this season. Zeigler is also setting a torrid pace, as he has rounded up 132 points. And so it goes. The Vikings, with a great team this year, threaten to take away some records, both individual and team from Class A schools in Somerset County. -Somerset American Berlin, no-22 SHANKSVILLE, Jan. 29-The Stony- creek Twp.

Spangler set a new scoring record for the season in the district with his 36-point performance, surpassing by five points 31 point performances by Lee Hunter and Bud Fisher earlier this year. Spangler's total points now are 173 for 10 games, the Viking star hav- ing missed two games because of a back ailment which still gives him trouble. Zeigler's total for 12 games is 132. The Vikings had a good night at the foul line also, converting 11 of 19 charity tosses while the Meyersdale team made eight of 17.

The largest crowd in Stonycreek's history saw the Vikings top the Somerset team for the first time in the relationship of the two schools. The win this evening was the seventh straight for Coach Jim Lauer's Vikings, who have averaged 50 points in each contest. Riley of Somerset opened the scor- ing with a field goal in the first minute of play. Lowry and Zeigler then scored goals for Stonycreek and from that point on the Vikings were never head- ed. The Eagles scored only one field goal in the entire first half. Both teams were proficient at the foul line, Stonycreek making 11 of 19 foul tries, while Somerset converted 10 of 19 attempts. Co-Captain Fred Zeigler was the night's high scorer with 15 points. He was followed by Center Blair Walker and Co-Captain jim Spangler with 11 points each. Spangler played only half a game as he suffered a back injury early in the third period. His total for seven games is 104, fifth highest in the district.

U n u s u a l l y sharp foul-shooting featured the fray with Everett making nine of 12 shots and Stonycreek con- verting 14 of 19. Stonycreek took a one-point lead in the first frame and added five more in the second to hold the advantage at 16-10 going into the second half. The visitors outscored the locals by one point in the second half, with Forward Morris throwing in seven points in a last-quarter surge. VIKINGS GRAB 3rd SOMERSET LOOP VICTORY Si-iANKsvu.LE, Jan. 18-Easily win- ning every quarter, the Vikings of Stonycreek High School had little trouble in dispersing Hooversville High, 49-30, on the Vikings' court here tonight. The victory advanced the Vikings into the Somerset County Class B League lead ahead of Rock- wood. The losers led at only one point in the entire contest, the beginning of the game which started out with a foul by Center Blair Walker and was followed by Storey's Held goal to put the Hoovers out in front, 2-1. Karl Poor- baugh soon erased the Hoovers' one- point lead with a goal. Forward Freddie Zeigler of the Vikings was the game's high man with 15 points while Coleman made 11 for the losers, six of which were carded in the final quarter, when the Vikings' defense relaxed. Blair Walker played an excellent de- fensive game for the locals, grabbing a majority of the rebounds from both banking boards. Johnny Grenke, a sophomore who played a little more than one quarter, made six points in displaying hne shooting ability in the game in which every player but one had a hand in the scoring.

Playing without their high-scoring center, Jim Spangler, who pulled a side muscle in the Somerset game Tuesday night, the Vikings jumped away to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter. Their margin dwindled during second-period action when the locals staged their largest scoring spree, rallying 10 points to the visitors' five to cut the lead to 16-12 at half-time.

A near capacity crowd watched the Vikings, champions of District 5, eliminate the Yellow jackets, District 6 titleholders from Class B P. I. A. A. play on the Roosevelt court. The victory was the 24th straight for the Somerset county quint for a season record of 26 victories against one loss. They will now meet the winner of District 7 eliminations, Stonycreek, however, knew it was in a game last night and Faculty Manager Harry Emerick, of the Vikings, de- clared Roaring Spring was the best team we have run across. Ken Stover of Yellow jackets tossed in the first point but Blair Walker, six foot two Viking center opened Stony- creek's drive with a peep shot. Walker tossed in 13 points for the winners, scooping most of them off the banking board. The Vikings held to their early lead, keeping ahead by two points in the first stanza. Viking Co-captain Fred Zeigler tossed in a goal beating the gun by two seconds for the end of the opening period. The victors held a 13-9 margin at this point. The Yellow Jackets' shots failed to click the second quarter. However, the Springers kept an even pace with james E. Lauer's champion quintet. At the four minute time out Roaring Spring was behind 18-16. Walker then pushed in a goal and sank a foul to put the Somerset county boys ahead. Fred Meyers' goal and Stover's foul for Roaring Spring cut Stonycreek's half- time lead to 21-19. Spring The Vikings moved out in front to a 28-26 lead in the third quarter be- fore the Yellow Jackets brought the score within their reach to 32-31 with a minute and half remaining in this stanza. Johnny Metzger tossed in a long goal and a free foul shot to put the Springers ahead 34-32. Myers made a peep and one foul to increase the margin, 37-32. D. Lowry, Alvin Saylor and Walker tied up the score at 37-37 to break the Spring's rally. Lowry's two free points at the foul line and Walker's peep made it Stonycreek 41-37 with three minutes of play re- maining. Lowry tossed in the last point with a free throw after Spangler swished a foul for Stonycreek with one minute and 10 seconds remaining. That was the last point of the game with the Springers missing three baskets and Vikings two goals before the fracas ended 43-37. The summary: Stonycreek G F T R. S.

Umpire-Chimente. -Altoona Tribune From out of Shanksville, Somerset County, came a whirlwind, a cyclone and an avalanche all in one last night to feature one of the speediest basket- ball games offeted at the Roosevelt Junior High floor in years, the Stony- creek Township High Vikings, Dis- trict No. 5 champions, eliminating Roaring Spring, No. 6 champion in a B class inter-regional game. Stonycreek took the game 43-37 and the 6-point margin came in the last 4 minutes of play, as both teams were tied at 37 points at the automatic time out. In the windup Vikings white- washed the Yellow Jackets and grabbed the win. -Altoona Mirror 77 Vikes Take Brownsville By 38 to za l 91h Sfraighf Victory Coach Eddie Addis' Brownsville passers did not have the opportunity to celebrate a victory Wednesday evening, for they were handed a 38-28 defeat by jimmy Lauer's Stonycreek Township Vikings, but they celebrated the con- clusion of their 1945-46 cage campaign in Section Four, W. P. I. A. L., with a turkey dinner at the Pine Grill in Som- erset after the game. Stonycreek's Class B championship quint now has won 19 consecutive games and 21 of 22 games played this season. Their only setback was to Ferndale by a 31-30 heartbreaking de- cision. The team has scored 992 points this year and will conclude their season against the Meyersdale Red Raiders on the latter's floor Friday evening. Jim Spangler, Somerset county high scoring ace, boosted his season's total to 303 points by sending two lielders and live conversions through the nets. Sharing high scoring honors with Spangler was Blair Walker, rangy pivot, who shot four from scrimmage and one from the free-throw line for nine points. Forward Freddie Zeigler racked up seven. Roberts, a dangly Brownsville center, was the offensive fireball of the visit- ing team. He found the range for 13 points on five fielders and three fouls. After assuming a 4-0 lead Stonycreek fought hard to hike the margin to 11-8 at the end of the first canto, for the quick, fast-breaking Brownies dis- played the same aggressiveness as they did in taking over such W. P. I. A. L. teams as Connellsville, German Town- ship and Redstone. But, it was a different story in the second period when the Vikes outscored their op- ponents nine to one. Brownsville put up a better show in the third period, but the Lauermen held a 33-19 margin. A display of last-minute potency by the Brownies netted them nine points to live for the Vikes.

Viking Sports Clzlbpin s Stonycreek Enters State 'B' Finals Defeats East Brady, 149-37, tor 25th Victory in Succession Balanced Affack Offseis One-Man Riof in Fuhrer PUNXSUTAWNEY, March 26-Stony- creek Twp. High of Shanksville carried too many guns for East Brady's one- man attack and smeared the District 9 champions, 49-37, on the local high school floor before 1,000 fans tonight to march into the P. I. A. A. Class B finals. The Clarion Countians had a one- man riot in Dick Fuhrer, six-foot, three-inch center, but when that's said, it's all said, as the little-heralded Vik- ings took the lead near the end of the first quarter and remained out front right up to the closing whistle. Fuhrer racked up the imposing total of 28 points on 11 field goals and six fouls, 15 of which came in the final quarter for East Brady's total point production for that stanza. Up until tonight Coach Harry Wolfe's cagers had won 25 of 27 games, with Fuhrer scoring 510 points. This evening's victory was the 25th in succession for Coach Jim Lauer's Somerset Countians and their 27th of the season compared to a single one- point defeat to Ferndale. ' Stonycreek, with Jim Spangler, Karl Poorbaugh and Blair Walker sharing the Townshippers' scoring laurels, tal- lied only one more field goal than their victims, 16 to 15, but broke the Dis- trict 9 champ's back with a brilliant exhibition of foul-shooting. They con- verted 17 of 22 tries while the losers could make only 7 of 19. East Brady opened with a rush and at the live-minute mark showed a 10-5 lead, at which point the Shanksville cagers started to click. Fred Zeigler looped in two long set shots and Walk- er followed it up with a pushup shot and a foul for seven consecutive points which shoved the winners out front, 12-10, just before the quarter ended. Once getting in the groove, the Vikings continued to steadily pull away, taking the second frame by six points and each of the last two periods by two counters. When the halftime rest period rolled around, Stonycreek was sporting a 24-16 advantage as it continued to crack the Bradymen's defense for close- up shots while the Vikings' fly-paper man-for-man defense kept everybody but Fuhrer well under control. East Brady braced in the third round to be outscored by only an 8-6 edge and then both teams opened up in the final stanza in which the Vikings picked up 17 counters to 15 for East Brady, all by Fuhrer. Spangler was high for the winners with 13 points, while Poorbaugh and Walker picked up 10 each and Don Lowry nine in the well-balanced attack.

Walker returned to the Somerset County farming country Thursday with two Future Farmers of America honors. He was bestowed the Keystone degree -the third of four degrees necessary to become full-fledged Future Farmers of America, in addition to placing 10th in state potato yield. The young Viking star was awarded these honors at the Pennsylvania Future Farmers convention, held in con- junction with the Pennsylvania farm show. Walker has attracted considerable attention in Somerset County cage circles. The lanky pivot scored 10 points against Hooversville and 11 points against Somerset in recent games. -Somerset American Stonycreek Twp. Downs Somerset SOMERSET - Stonycreek Township's cagers gained their 16th straight vic- tory and 18th of the season by handing Somerset High's Eagles a 30-21 defeat here last night. It was the second time in the 15-year athletic history between the schools that the Vikings have been able to record a victory over the locals. The high-scoring Vikings were held to a 14-14 deadlock in the first half but came out of the third quarter with a 10-6 edge to take over the driver's seat and then held the Eagles to a single point in the final frame while tallying six to give them their second triumph of the year over the locals.

L------------------- Viking Sports Clzlbpings Fell Captures State Title Stonycreek Bows, 37-34 In Class B Stonycreek Loses 2nd Game of Season as Fell Township Takes Sfafe Championship Tifle District 2 retained the state Class B crown of the P. I. A. A. last night as a well drilled Fell Township quintet staved off the last period bid of a fight- ing Stonycreek Township five, the western kings, to collect a thrilling 37-34 victory before 2,400 fans in the Westmoor Armory. It was as exciting a finish as could be furnished in fiction. Fell, which defeated Wilkes-Barre Township to win the District 2 crown and then went on to gain victories over Dalton of District 12, Montgomery of District 4, and Manheim, for the East- ern Pennsylvania crown, succeeds McAdoo as state champions among the smaller schools. The first state title contest ever held in the valley matched two good clubs, but the better drilled Fell Club with its superior shooting and better floor play had what it took when the pressure was on. Fell grabbed a 17-11 lead in the second period but Stonycreek cut this down to 20-18 at half time. In the third session, Coach joe Sopko's club continued its steady play and ran up a 30-21 lead at the three-quarter mark as Stonycreek was held to three foul con- versions in the third session. Stonycreek came back after joe Hodorovich made good a free throw and made it 31-21 to open the last period. jim Spangler, the brilliant forward for Stonycreek, sank two straight field goals and Fred Zeigler another and the lead was reduced to 31-27. Mike Tokarczyk, Fell's fine pivot man, pushed in a field goal but be- spectacled Don Lowry matched this and converted twice from the foul line to reduce the lead to 33-31. Joe Kluck's field goal was equalled by Spangler with two minutes left. Karl Poorbaugh made his only point of the night with 49 seconds remaining. But Tokarczyk took a long pass and pushed in a field goal with six seconds re- maining to ice the victory as the West Side Armory resounded with a steady roar of cheers. Spangler, six-one all-round per- former, topped the night's scores with 16 points but Tokarczyk, who played an outstanding game off the boards had 14 points and joe Kluck who sank three sensational double deckers, had 10 tallies.

Fell Township, whose school is in the little town of Simpson, just outside Carbondale in Lackawanna County, enters the game a slight favorite. The newly crowned Eastern champions showed plenty of power in a late rally to beat Manheim Township on Tues- day, 38-34, at Hershey Industrial School. This is the second year a Class B title will be awarded in Pennsylvania. Last year, McAdoo won the crown against Conneautville at Allentown. -Philadelphia Record STCJNYCREEK IN TRIM FOR PIAA BATTLE HERE Stonycreek Township High basket- ball squad arrived here yesterday and after being quartered at Sterling Hotel headed for Kingston Armory'for a workout in preparation for the' Class B State championship tilt tonight with Fell Township. Stonycreek won the Western Penn- sylvania State championship, Class B, and the Somerset County boys have brought on a team, which, on paper, will stack up well against Fell Town- ship, whose school is in the little town of Simpson, just outside Carbondale in Lackawanna County. The Fell Town- ship team won the Eastern State title. The game tonight will be the first P. I. A. A. State high school champion- ship ever staged in Wyoming Valley. Play will start at 8 with gates at the Armory opening at 6. Coach jimmy Lauer of Stonycreek was anxious to have his boys get the feel of the big Armory floor and he wasted no time in getting the squad to the Armory. He seemed very satisfied upon finding that playing space is longer than Altoona's Jaffa Mosque. The boys showed they could play on a big fioor when they turned back Roaring Spring in the first of the play- offs, said Lauer. 82 Last Tuesday the Vikings halted East Brady, District 9 titleholders, at Punxsutawney, 49-37, to make it 25 straight and win 27 out of 28 starts. Only loss of the Vikings this year was a 31-30 setback at the hand of Fern- dale in an early season game. Fell Township enters the game a slight favorite over the western aggre- gation. The Lackawanna lads showed they had plenty of power in a late rally to nip Manheim Township Tues- day night, 38-34, at Hershey Industrial School. The team, playing in the Northern League, rates 10 points higher than the best in Lackawanna County League in which the bigger teams of that area play. Frank Whitcavage at center and Joe Kohut at guard were the leaders in the last minute win over Manheim Town- ship and this pair is counted upon to bear the brunt of the attack tonight against Stonycreek. This is the second year a class B title will be awarded in Pennsylvania. Last year McAdoo won the crown against Conneautville in a stirring battle at Allentown. -Wilkes-Barre Record Viking Sports Clzppings CLASS B TITLE GAME, CLASS A PERF ORMANCE By Mike Bernstein It was a Class B title game, but it was Class A basketball, this torrid con- test staged last night at the Kingston Armory between the coal miners' sons from Fell Township and the Stonycreek farmer boys. The vast court, the frenzied crowd and the metropolitan setting failed to awe the hinterland dribblers and they put on an exhibition that put the more sophisticated lads from the populated places to shame. Difiicult angle shots, one handed loopers and set shots from the center of the court swished through the hoops with the same accuracy as those pro- pelled by experienced money-players. And the antics of the cheer-leaders also reflected the passing of the hick com- plex. The Stonycreek gals hailing from a village which should still be doing square dances mixed the latest jive steps with their cheers. They brought about 300 rooters with them all dressed in the latest New York styles and utterly disillusioning those who expected calico, gay 90 bustles, and denims. The Fell Township gals were also dolled up in the latest hair-do's, with the cheer-leaders attired in flashing uniforms of red and black, set off with jaunty skull-caps to match. It might be the Hollywood influence, but the small towns have certainly shaken off the Reuben physiognomy and give 05 with the same mannerisms and dress as their big-town cousins. It reached right down into their basketball teams, too. The boys played like big-leaguers and gave the cus- tomers many exciting moments, in- cluding a Frank Merriwell finish that was right out of the story-books. Those who stayed away expecting a kerosene circuit contest, kidded themselves. It was one of the most hectic basketball games in years and couldn't be im- proved upon for thrills and heart pal- pitations if it were a Madison Square Garden classic. Stonycreek even trotted out a player wearing cheaters, a kid named Don Lowry. He did not even take the usual precaution of wearing a guard. He just plastered the side-pieces to his temples with band-aid, to keep them from slipping off, and waded into the ball game unmindful of the fact that a jolt in a scrimmage might shatter the lenses and slice his optics like the morning grapefruit. That's gameness and team-spirit with capital letters. And he made his points in the closing minutes of the contest when the pres- sure was on and the boys were com- mencing to play rough. Q, Another kid with promise was Fell Township's joe Kluck, but the name belied him. He was far from a Cluck. He handled the ball like a trained seal and could have probably balanced it on his schnozzle if the occasion demanded it. He had a way of bouncing past the opposition and without shifting gears looping one-handers from the side- lines, that helped send Stonycreek's quintet back to Somerset county dis- appointed. It was Stonycreek's Jim Spangler and Fell's Mike Tokarczyk who really were the money-players when the chips were down. Spangler, a typical plow- boy, is Stonycreek's top scorer, notch- ing 379 points for the season, and one of the reasons they were finalists in the Class B competition. Each time the Somerset boys faltered, he came through in the clutch, lumbering down the court like the old Celtic's Horse Haggerty and working his way under the hoop, to toss in the two-pointer that always kept his teammates in the ball game. Tokarczyk used the old pivot tech- nique. When the going was tough, he called for the pill with his back to the basket, wheeled around and the Fell boys' morals would again hit the top rung. In the dying moments of the game when Stonycreek rallied and threatened to turn apparent defeat into victory, Tokarczyk took the pay-dirt pass and as cool as the proverbial cucumber, looped one into the hoop that put the championship in the freez- ing unit. Stonycreek lost but was not dis- graced. For a school with an enroll- ment of 275, and a community of 1500 souls to gather them from, they cer- tainly put on a big-town show. The same goes for Fell Township, but they at least have the advantage of cobble- stone heaving from childhood up. It may not be too healthful for the adults, but it certainly helps to develop basket- ball players from childhood up. And it's not such a far cry from tossing cobblestones at a citizen's derby to looping a basketball into a hoop. It's the same technique. And it's this early training which no doubt made the Fell Township three points better and brought the Class B plaque to Simpson borough building. -Wilkes Barre Sunday Independent Vikes Take Lead Under Dunkel Sfonycreek's Five Has 55.9 Rating To Lead County New YORK, April 4-Little Stony- creek Township High School, which entered the Pennsylvania state Class B basketball Finals at Kingston, Pa., armory last Saturday evening, reigns as the scholastic basketball kings of Somerset County under figures released late Thursday by the Dunkel system of basketball ratings. Coach jimmy I.auer's Vikings brought honor to Somerset County by first over-coming Roaring Spring 147.35 and East Brady 148.63 to en- ter the finals against Fell Township. By virtue of their 37-34 loss to the latter team, the Vikes attained a 55.9 figure under the Dunkel system, while Fell Township leaped to a 59.3 rating. This 55.9 rating places Stonycreek 49th in the 740 rated schools in Pennsylvania and 23rd in Western Pennsylvania. Every Dunkel rating is a scientific 83 index number 1not a percentagej. It shows the relative strength of indi- vidual school's teams with all of the other schools shown. Each team sets its own rating by continuing season's averages based on: 115. The average rating of a school's opponents. 123. The average scoring margin a team establishes above or below its opponents, regardless of wins or losses. No method has been devised to pro- vide a perfect yardstick. But actual records provide that the Dunkel ratings present the most accurate picture of any scientific process so far devised. It is not presented for the purpose of de- ciding championships or for any other purpose than to give students of the game a panoramic picture of basketball. Ratings indicate each team's potential scoring margin over the weakest team in the state-a theoretical team with a 0.0 rating. It is important to note that the numerical difference in the Dunkel rating between any two teams indicates the scoring spread between them in the past. Dunkel ratings are not designed to predict point differences. 000000000 000000 00000 '00000 00000000 -:01 0 0 tl II O ll nu 0 0 ll n ll ll ll 0 ll ll 0 ll O O 0 0 O l 2 O 3 0 0 O l O 0 O A- 000 0000 l ll ll 'T l 0 0 O l -4 l 0 O Q. fD qw Ch QI 'T D3 LD CD Jenner Cross Roads Pennsylvania 00000 00000000 00000000 I O 0 O O I 000000000000 0 l 0 O 0 E 0 l i O O l O 2 2 Q ..

An American reporter visited the Stonycreek dressing room as soon as the game was over. Coach Jimmy Lauer took the defeat optimistically. We came a long way to attempt to win this game. The Vikings brought honor to Somerset County by copping the Western regional finals. We wished to bring more honor to the county by winning this game, but we had bad breaks and made a few mis- takes. We don't have any regret to show, returning to Somerset County, although we would have liked to put the county on the map through a victory. Lauer's players nodded their heads in agreement. Quiet presided over the room at oc- casions, but the players did not reach for the crying towel. Harry Emerick, bespectacled faculty manager of the Vikings, voiced the same opinion. We did the best that we could, said Emerick. After all, we entered the game as 10-point underdogs. Only three points separated the team at the end of the game. A surprise was in store for the play- ers. Ralph B. Barner, supervising principal of the Shanksville school, which only has an enrollment of 275 in the lower grades, entered the room with a parcel. It contained the handsome Western Regional trophy that the Vikes won by virtue of their 49-37 defeat of East Brady to enter the state finals. No other Somerset County school had ever won such a trophy and the Stonycreek players were happy. We'll mark tonight up to ex- perience, said Lauer. A trophy such as this is worth fighting for. We have brought honor to Somerset County by winning it. ' Outside of the dressing room stood a large crowd of Stonycreek fans, wait- ing for their team to emerge. Some of them were parents of the players, who had journeyed 300 miles to see their sons play. The Viking players appreciated the visit of the home folks and ac- companied them to the hotel. There, they had a rendezvous with Morpheus and the hard work of the night was forgotten in that strange land of dreamland. -Somerset American R' h d . D 1 STONYCREEK By .Leif Srl..
