Trott Vocational High School - Trottarian Yearbook (Niagara Falls, NY)

In the realm of sports, the picture was not too brightg we lost all our football games but we were never shut out. The backfield shone but the line was weak. Dave Booth, our ca- pable captain, was the outstanding player on the team. Willie Jones and Pat Johnson displayed great running ability. Our offensive team displayed its strength in tallying up the high- est scores made during the past six or seven years, while our defensive team revealed its weakness in accounting for the greatest number of points scored against us in the same period. The 1957 team should be the best in the history of the school with the number of experienced men returning to the squad. Though the record left by last year's sectional award win- ning basketball team proved to be too high a goal to reach this year, the squad won five of their fourteen games. For a team which lacked both experience and height this record was commendable: the important denominator - an old pro, Matt Mazza, who became basketball coach after Mr. Krum transferred to LaSalle. After a slow start during the first half of the games Trott bounced back to win when the students returned from the Christmas vacation. , V ,,,, ifws ifflt ifffvtf'-igntssfw9w1e1','f1fQi1iieig . i M w 32332 , .

Vigo Hans en, Machine Florence Hillman, Nursing Once again Trott was well represented on the air in news, sports, and talent on WJJL. Representing Trott on Pepsi- Teen Time were Sylvia Curtis, Joyce Perman, Dean Hon- adle, and Nancy Metzler. This year the Pepsi-Cola Com- pany decided to have a contest in which all schools and organizations of Niagara County would participate. The school or organization to acquire the largest number of Pepsi-Cola bottle caps by April Z6 would receive a free television set. On April lst Trott was leading with 35,000 bottle caps, probable total at the end of the contest: in ex- cess of 50,000 bottle caps. The Student Council with President Dave Booth, Vice- President John Williams, Secretary Judy Simpson, Treas- urer Jimmy Jones, and Advisor Mr. Hudspith decided to buy trophies for the winners of intramural sporting events and pins for the students who have perfect attendance. The trophies and pins will be given to the winning students dur- ing the honor assembly in June. To raise money for this project the Student Council sponsored a well-attended movie in January for the student body. The Council also co-sponsored the Valentine Day dance with the senior class as another fund raising project. Louise Higgs, Chemistry 15 fs .J 4, Norman Jagow, Machine Kenneth Huff, Welding 10
