At home that night the Jun- ior Prom Committee held a Lolly-Pop Dance. The gym was gay with balloons and rib- bons. Little Lulu was found to be Rose Minyon in curls and pantalettes. Her mother was none other than the digni- fied Mr. Charles DeVenzio! January 23, 1949. Mr. Zott began showing movies at lunch- time. For the price of a nickel, we saw such pictures as Drums Along the Mohawk and The Lost Jungle. Thrillers all. January 25, 1949. The last day of the first semester had arrived.

We had such beautiful and graceful cheerleaders at our pep meeting. Strange to say that the orange and black uniforms would not quite meet. And the pink cheeks were topped by 'the most unusual bonnets and caps. Alasl we were afraid someone would get hurt as they fell so hard. We were all highly entertained by James Prasnikar, Jack Linder- man, Charles Spix, and the other boys. This was the night for 'the final play-off for the sec- tion title at New Kensington. All during the first half Springdale was in the lead, but during the second half Leechburg gradually edged up with some good shots at the basket until we lost by two points-45-47. It was a sad loss for us but Leechburg was 'thrilled.

SPORTS ROUNDUP Over the season Spring- dale won 17 games and lost 6. We lost to New Kensing- ton, Arnold, Verona, Leech- burg, Freeport, and Leech- burg again in the playoffs. The majority of the students at Springdale were suprised an very much sarished this year with the team and Coach DeVenzio. T h e Orange and Black went on the offensive this year, scor- ing 1064- points to only 932 - points for last year by the champs. This means an average of 46.3 points per game was established. Yet, the thought that ICSIS on everybody's mind is the two points that Leechburg slipped over on us. Coach DeVenzio has made a great hit with the students his first year here and great things are expected of him and his team at Springdale High School.
