L.- .- ATHLETIC IllREC'I'0ll The yearly task of the Athletic Council is to stretch the budget to fit our program of athletics. This committee, organized four years ago, stands to be one of the most impor- tant organizations of the school. It is composed of six members, which includes the coach of athletics, the school principal, one school director, the faculty manager of athletics, the school doctor, and a parent of a pupil enrolled in the high school. When the school board meets in August, the school director is chos- en. An election for president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer is held every year. This council is to act as an ad- viser in regard to the program of athletic activities. General super- GET TUGETIIER vision of interscholastic athletics. football, basketball, and baseball is undertaken by this committee. An attractive schedule is drawn up, offi- cials are secured, transportation pro- vided, purchase of new football and basketball equipment, and all home games supervised. A standard is set on which to base letter awards and to help stimulate interest in athletics, both in and outside of school. All this it has done remarkably well. Annually, this task, which presents many problems, is met and success- fully worked out by the Athletic Council. We expect to find the work, which has in the past been so splen- didly carried out by the Athletic Council, to be continued in the fu- ture.

nlunlno nov i The bare recital of the number of games won conveys no impression of the real drama that developed as the season progressed. The South Huntingdon varsity eleven stamped- ed through one of its most success- ful seasons to win ten straight games. Two hundred and twenty-two points were chalked up by South Hunting- don as against forty-three made by opponents. The season was opened by a night game, during which the Golden Eagles outscored Mount Pleasant in a rather shaky debut, South Hunt- ingdon emerged the victor when Paterline scored during the last two minutes of play-6 to 0. Next came South Fayette, our first home rival whom we defeated 14-12 .... Belle Vernon, our third opponent was very easily outplayed: 33-0. Then came our second home game and the gang went to town, South Huntingdon 27, West Newton 0. South Huntingdon then invaded East Huntingdon but the latter was turned back 32 to 6. The tables were turned on Trafford this year by a score of 14-0. Our seventh game and third at home found us hammering away at Ford City, a Class A school. They were ll' C a shown some real football playing by the Eaglesg 14-6. The next was to be a tough game for us, but still not checked, South Huntingdon 7, Marion 0. Again playing at home, Rostraver was our next victim, 34-6. North Belle Vernon, our fifth home game was beaten easily 41-13. During a post-season tilt, while trying to win the Championship in the Mononga- hela Valley Conference, we suffered our only defeat: Centerville 39, South Huntingdon 0. 'We were awarded three trophies due to South Huntingdon's undefeat- ed football season .... the first witnessed in the history of the school. Two were for winning the Westmore- land County Class B Championship, one of which is circulated by St. Vin- cent Collegeg and the third was for high ranking in the Eastern Division of the Little Monongahela Valley Conference. The winning of the Class B tro- phies was accomplished largely by the cooperation of the team, the willingness to play their best at all times, the wonderful display of sportsmanship, plus the ability to play the game.
