Ne Are UNDEFEATED!! November l4th was really a day of bliss after our last victorious football game. School was in session, but there were no classes. Instead, after homeroom there was a pep assembly which last- ed until ll:OO A.M. Then, Mr. Helterbran dis- missed the student body to go to the auditorium to see the movie, Pillow Talk. After the film, a dance was held in the cafeteria. WAMO's Porky Chedwick spun the records for the dancers and listeners. Vito DiSalvo's group, The Standards, performed for the crowd also. Everyone, includ- ing teachers got out on the floor to dance. The football team brought great pride to West Mif- flin South, their 9-0-0 record was something to celebrate - and we at South - sure did! .4 Above: Coaches Tennant, Zabroski, Mervos, Howley, and Brocco cut the victory cake presented to them by the cheerleaders.
