THE ATI-ILETICVSEASON OPENS I September 19, 1936. Dear Diary, Westmont 6-Meyersdale 0. To-day our football team started oft' in great fashion by 'beating Meyersdale. It wasn't an impressive victory, and there was plenty of room for improvement, but it certainly felt good to win. Emeigh scored in the first half after a steady march down the field. September 25, 1936. Catholic High 13-Westmont 0. ' I feel tired and discouraged to-day. It's queer how winning or losing affects me. Putting up a great battle last night at the Point stadium didn't score us anything. I guess we must have played well, though, as we held Catholic High with very little gain until those last few minutes. We even outplayed them in first downs. October 3, 1936. Shade Township 13--Westmont 6. Trod down again! I started out by watching the first quarter from the side lines, and what I saw wasn't pleasing. Shade pushed right down to a touchdown. I played the three remaining quarters in gri-ef, Shade scoring once more while we scored our lone touchdown. October 9, 1936. Ferndale 21-Westmont 0. Woe has befallen us. Last night I sat on the bench and watched our arch-rivals, Ferndale, trample us down, and couldn't even have the satisfaction of having a suit on. After waging a fairly even battle, my team-mates tried a fiukey lateral on their own twenty. It was fumbled and recovered by the Ferndale team, who promptly scored. ' This took place within three minutes of half time. The second half, the Yel- low Jackets scored twice more with comparative ease, while our fellows struggled, trying to hold Ferndale's score down. October 16, 1936. Westmont 2-Adams Township 0. This afternoon we swam to victory, and once more I'm happy. In the second quarter, after having pushed Adams against their own goal, one of their backs was dropped. 'behind the goal line giving us the winning two points. The field was completely rain soaked. There was no further scoring. 'El:H5 as

THE RED AND GRAY BANDSMEN Recorded by Virginia Wright September 18, 1936 Dear Diary, Fifty-two musicians and would be's turned out for thefirst band rehearsal of 1936-37. Mr. Horner has promised to enter us in parades, in Forensic League contest, and all of Johnstown's band contests. Wirth these competitions as a goal and the inspiration derived from the large number in our band we ought to gain great glory. September 25, 1936 To-night was the premiere of the new band uniforms. Truly, the most thrilling sight throughout the game with Catholic High was our band. The striking contrast between the drum major's uniform, red trimmed in gray, and the regular uniform, gray trimmed in red, was effective. The brilliant lights of the Point Stadium brought out the color scheme to perfection. I overheard one man say, If they play as well as they look, they ought to be worth hearing. We hope that our playing may even excell our appearance, for our concert is not very far in the future. A January 12, 1937 To-day Mr. Horner handed out the music for Forensic League, Youth Tri- umphant, and a new arrangement by Paul Yoder, 'fRimsky Karsakowf' More hard work, but more fun, too. A March 1, 1937 Nine musicians, Jeannette Barnhart, Charles Cook, Doris Fox, Murial Green, Helen Lane, Alta Momberger, Dorothy Mulhollen, Sara Jane Waters, and myself have been selected from our band to attend the All We'stern Band at Som- erset, March 18, 19, and 20. I think it is quite an honor to be chosen as a rep- resentative. March 11, 1937 Our Band played the Forensic League numbers in assembly to-day, VVe must have made an impression, for nxany students praised our playing. I hope we can do as well in actual Forensic League competition.

FOOTBALL INDIVIDUALS Too Row: Julius Little. Andrew Bezek, Harrv Tredennick. James Caddv, Robert Mowrey. Bottom Row: Charles Emeigh. Harry Rodgers. James Maley, Walter Hess. Robert Harley. ' October 23, 1936. DuBois 20-Westmont 7. Last night we went down to defeat again, but not too deep! Again we scored more first downs, but it's still the touch downs that count six points. DuBois had a little back whom we just couldn't hold down. They scored first, but we followed almo-st immediately with our touch down and try for point. Not far along in the second period they again crossed our line. It still looked like a chance, 'but we couldn't score again. Their final score came within a short time of the final whistle. October 31, 1936. Westmont 14-Franklin 7. Hurrah! This afternoon we pulled through again, and the score didn't show quite how well we did. We marched right down Franklin's field to score th.e only touchdown of the first half. The second half we started out again and scored, but too-k a little more time. Not long' afterwards a Franklin linesman inter- cepted aipoorly thrown pass and Wasn't touched until he had crossed into the promised land . He ran about seventy yards for this score. November 6, 1936. Somerset 19-Westmont 0. This afternoon we went to Somerset and were properly Htroiun-ce'd in the 'poorest exhibition of our season. Everything went wrong and it seemed as though Somerset scored at will. I don't like even to think about it. . 1 November 13, 1936. Ebenswburg 26-Westmont 13. Last night at Ebensiburg, I played my last game of W. U. Y. football. Although We again lost, all of us enjoyed the game tothe utmost. An Ebensiburg punt went out of bounds on our two yard line. Their return of Little's'punt1put them in scoring position and they didn't pass up the chance. They weren't cap- able of handling our next advance, though, and we scored almost immediately. This appeared merely to inspire 'a renewed attack by Ebefnsiburg, who scored aglin. Not to be outdone, we again opened up a vicious attack and retaliated. This seemed like a lot of scoring before half time. At the half, the score stood at 20-13, in ofur rivals' favor. The 'second half, scoring was at a comparative standstill, Ehensburg making the remaining six points to win 26-13.
