Additional Information
Foreword
1958
As a rolling stone gathers no moss, so
may it be that our graduates may continue
to go forth as examples of true earnestness
and high prestige. May we never forget
from whence the stone gained momentum.
Time will over shadow our memories,
but so that we can always retain a clear
and lasting remembrance of our high school
days, we present to you, this 1958 edition
of the Planet.

IN HONOR OF ONE WHO
DID A FINE JOB OF CREAT-
ING SCHOOL SPIRIT.

REMEMBRANCE OF ALL THE PAGEANTRY OF THAT DAY IN MAY.
THE QUIET BEAUTY OF PARIS.
Through the social life, students receive one
of the greatest benefits of our school, the ability
to meet and mix with fellow students. If this
is not accomplished, the schools have failed in
their attempt to prepare young people to be-
come good citizens.
During our years at Mars, we have had the
pleasure and opportunity of truly getting to
know many people. This opportunity was pre-
sented to us through dances at noon time, after
athletic events, and throughout the year. In
furtherance to these, we had class plays, class
parties, and assembly programs.
Outside of the classrooms, our students have
enjoyed fellowship with one another, through
the Junior class trips to New York, and by the
always to be remembered visit through Europe
by the Senior Gill Scouts
In order that one might go out into the world,
he must be prepared, socially, to meet it.

ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
THE PLANET STAFF WORKS TOGETHER TO CREATE IDEAS FOR FINANCING THE
ANNUAL.
THE ROYAL BLUE AND GOLD IN FULL DRESS
UNIFORM.
THE SENIOR CLASS WAS THE CAUSE OF ALL
THE SHOUTING.
6
GIRLS’ ENSEMBLE DOING THEIR PART TO MAKE THE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM A SUCCESS.
Through membership in different organiza-
tions, students have learned to work together
for a common goal.
The senior class worked to finance a prom,
the junior class makes plans for their New York
trip. Each year the band does its best on the
lootball field, and on stage at the conceit. The
Language clubs strive to promote a better teach-
er-pupil ielationship, and, of course, the Planet
staff must work as one unit in order to meet
the deadlines.
By working together, one is taught responsi-
bility, respect for others' ideas and rights, and
a better understanding of people.

COMPETITION

THROUGH COMPETITION TO BECOME A CHEERLEADER, THESE GIRLS CAN UNDER-
STAND THE VALUE OF THEIR REPRESENTING THE SCHOOL.
OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAM HELPS DEVELOP CONFIDENCE AND CLEAR THINKING BY USING STRAT-
EGY AGAINST THE OPPOSITION.

THE BOYS BASKETBALL PROGRAM DEVELOPS
STAMINA AND QUICK REFLEX MECHANISMS.
OUR INTERMURAL PROGRAM HELPS MANY
WHO MAY HAVE FORMERLY FELT INADE-
QUATE IN COMPETING IN THE VARSITY PRO-
GRAM.
The concept of gymnastic training as an in-
tegral part of the educational process may be
traced to pre-Christian Greece. The value of
such training was accepted as a matter of course
in both the Greek and the Roman civilizations;
and Plato, in The Republic, gives gymnastic
an equal place with intellectual pursuits in the
educational program of his ideal state.
Now, centuries later, we more fully under-
stand the importance of a sound body as the
companion to a sound mind and a happy spirit.
We know that not only does athletic op-
position strengthen us physically, but through
it, we gain experience, and learn the value of
competition. Here at Mars, we came to realize
this by first hand experience in varsity and in-
termural participation.
IN ADDITION TO INSTRUCTION IN ORGANIZED
SPORTS, GIRLS ENJOY FUN THROUGH A SI-
AMESE RELAY RACE DURING A PHYSICAL
EDUCATION CLASS.

ACADEMIC YEAR
WHERE MINDS ARE STRENGTHENED.
One of the reasons why you arc one of the
most fortunate young people in the world is
that you live in a country which believes in free
public education. Have you ever stopped to
consider how much it costs the taxpayers of your
community to educate you? Think about this
seriously and you will seldom neglect your
school work.
Probably the reason you have never asked
yourself this question is because you have come
to think of school as part of your birthright.
Yet our forefathers who devised our educational
system had some definite ideas as to the values
to be derived from an education such as is
offered here at Mars.
First, a sound education enables us to develop
our means of expression, philosophies of life,
and self respect; to appreciate beauty; to culti-
vate useful and socially acceptable habits of liv-
ing; to think logically; to become economically
efficient by being resourceful workers and wise
consumers; and finally to assume civic responsi-
bilities.
These values are certainly worth striving for,
are they not?
FORMING SOUND CONCLUSIONS.

INTEREST STEMS THROUGH EXPERIMENTS.
PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE IS GAINED THROUGH TRAINING IN WOOD SHOP.

OUR LEADERS
Mr. Janies H. Hudson, Supervising Principal
Mr. Hudson obtained his Bachelor ol Science
Degree from Geneva College and his Master in
Education Degree from the University of Pitts-
burgh. He has attended summer school at Notre
Dame, Northwestern, Slippery Rock and Penn
State. This was Mr. Hudson’s twenty-third year
in which he has contributed his steadfast efforts
to make Mars High School outstanding. He has
worked diligently to make the Adams, Mars,
Middlesex, and Valencia jointure a success.
The class of 1958 is truly grateful to Mr.
Hudson for making our four years al Mars
High very happy and successful ones.
Mr. Downie began his leaching career soon
after receiving his Bachelor of Science from
the University of Arizonia and Penn State Uni-
versity, where he majored in agriculture. Since
then he has obtained his Master in Education
Degree from the University of Pittsburgh. In
the absence of a guidance counselor, Mr. Downie
has untiringly tried to guide every interested
senior to the college to which he is best suited.
We, the seniors of 1958 wish to thank you for
your understanding and help.
Mr. Robert C. Downie. High School Principal

JOINT SCHOOL BOARD ATTEMPTS TO INFORM PUBLIC ON EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURES
AND NEEDS.
HOW MAY WE GET BETTER
SCHOOLING?
How we may get better schooling in the
Inline is largely determined by the decisions wc
make now on certain basic problems.
Increased enrollment — Wc now have -11 mil-
lion people in our schools, which is nearly
twice lhe number there was in 1930. Yet many
schools arc using the same buildings and
equipment that they did thirty years ago. In
some places half-day sessions have been initi-
ated. Quality has been sacrificed lor quantity.
But by looking toward lhe future, our joint
school board has sought lo meet this problem
before the emergency arises. The need for a
new joint Adams, Mars, Middlesex, Valencia
High School has been realized, and lhe prob-
lem is being seriously investigated. By way ol
illustration, a survey of the population trend
in this area is being made in conjunction with
the public utilities company. However, it has
been estimated that it will be at least another
five years before any definite steps can be
taken in this building program, because of a
conflict between the state arrangement ol our
district schools; they maintain that if a new
consolidated high school is built, it should
include the entire southwestern corner of
Butler County; and the public sentiment in
this area supports two separate high school
jointures.
Shortage o[ teachers — this shortage, nationally, is
due principally to two causes: low salaries and
lack of prestige. This past year, Mars has at-
tempted to adjust the wage scale to the stand-
ard set tqj by the state and by cost of living.
Added stress on science — This new emphasis
on science education in view of our modern
age is necessary for national survival. As a
result, Mars has increased the opportunities for
training in science, but she needs to guard
against offering a curriculum that is not well
rounded and catering to the above average
student only.
Educating the public — only by educating the
citizens of this area as to the existing problems
of our school can we hope to achieve a steady
progress in the advancement and improvement
of our school system. Will you lend your sup-
port?

“Il is true that we shall not be able to reach perfection, but in our strug-
gle toward it, strengthen our characters.’’ This is the motto which was chosen
to guide our class, and by its thought, leave a lasting impression in the minds
of everyone.
Our senior year has now passed, and like the years before it, is just a mem-
ory. So clearly in our memory of this year, shall be the many activities in which
we were engaged together. One can not forget the work at the refreshment
stand, the fun of selling megaphones and light bulbs, and the joyous time of
Senior Day and the Prom, so cheerfully decorated in our class colors of powder
blue and white, and highlighted with our class flower, the white rose.

Our students are prepared to advance into a mathematics profession.
AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Our graduates arc prepared to become good citizens.
American schools have become front-page
news as a result of the Russian “Sputniks.”
For a time we have had the comfortable feel-
ing that we are the smartest and the best
educated people in the world. Then the
Russians did something; our scientists were not
able to do. This was a real shock. We had to
find someone to blame.
One explanation of our failure is that
the Russians may be better educated. As a
result many conferences were held with our
lop educators to discover the trouble. It was
found that many high schools required only
two years each of English, history, and
science. Mathematics and language courses
were electives. With this leniency, students
tended to avoid the more difficult subjects.
All of this, however, is unimportant un-
less we know how it applies to our Alma
Maier. Does Mars offer what will be expected
of future graduates? Does she oiler a well-
Some graduates will fulfill
their dreams to become teachers; others expect to
advance in the chemistry field.
rounded cun iculum to avoid “manufactur-
ing” skilled technicians only?
In looking for the answers to these ques-
tions, we find that Mars has already respond-
ed to the needs of the times. For many years,
students have been encouraged to take a
diversified program. In addition to the op-
portunities offered in this present program,
new courses in calculus, economic geography,
advanced chemistry, and psychology are on
the agenda for next year. But we must stop
to consider if an enlarged curriculum, higher
teachers’ salaries, and additional scholarships
arc the answer. Perhaps the old adage, “you
can lead a horse to water, but you can’t
make it think,” might still be true. Although
we arc exposed to the best advantages, if is
up to each one of us to do his best. Let us
remember, Russia’s scientific movement has
been mainly in one field of endeavor while
ours has been in many. Their new system of
education has not produced these discoveries;
it has been the old school and the German
scientists that have done the work. The Unit-
ed States, however, has been using many
young people in the latest experiments —
people who have been educated in our pres-
ent school system. We must not fall short of
the realization that all of us can not be
scientists. It is the combination of each per-
son’s doing his best, in his own small way,
which makes our United States what it is.
Out graduates may move into the medical profession.

JUNIORS
The Juniors this year were very cooperative towards building up the neces-
sary financial fund for the annual trip to New York. They sold magazines,
sweat shirts, and operated the refreshment stand at the football games to earn
the money they needed. They also presented a successful play on November
22nd and 23rd, “Home Sweet Homicide”. The Juniors can look back on a
year of great achievement.

On September -1, 1957, 139 scared Freshmen milled around in the auditorium
looking dcsparingly for familiar faces. They received a detailed description ol the
courses into which they were about to embark, and after that they were left on their
own — for better or for worse.
The class held a movie, ■‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” on Juanry 22, 1958. Lat-
er, they sponsored another movie and a dance.
Although they entered in disorder and confusion, they will go
vears with unitv and confidence.

EIGHTH GRADE
Early in the year, the class was organized by the election of homeroom officers. These of-
licers accomplished a fine job of leading the class through a successful and enjoyable school
year.
December will always be remembered as the month in which the two rooms tied for sec-
ond place in the Christmas Decorating Contest. Also remembered will be the excitement of the
skating party and dance. The culmination of the year was the picnic held to celebrate the
graduation in May.
We arc confident that this class will be a valuable addition to the high school in the years
to come.

through the halls, it is necessary to have boys
stationed throughout the school to limit the
confusion.
The members of the patrol, all seniors,
were chosen by their home room teachers, at
the end of their junior year. Their sponsor
is Mr. Downie.
HOME
ECONOMICS CLUB
The Home Economics Club, under the
sponsorship of Mrs. Shultzabarger is striving
for better homemakers ol tomorrow. Their

GIRLS' ACTIVITIES
ASSOCIATION
Members of the Girls’ Activities Association
arc admitted on the number of school activities
in which they participate, and by the ways in
which they prove themselves to be successful
leaders.
This years’ club consisted of forty-eight mem-
bers; thirty-three Seniors, anil fifteen Juniors, all
ol whom will remember a very pleasant and
successful year.
The outstanding social affair of the organi-
zation was the semi-formal dance held on No-
vember 27.
GIRLS' VARSITY
CLUB
With their advisor, Mrs. Davis, the eight girls
composing the Girls’ Varsity Club have raised
funds for blue sweaters that were presented to
the five seniors. The girls worked with the Boys’
Varsity Club in sponsoring cake rallies and the

The Boys’ Varsity Chib, consisting of twenty
members; nine seniors, nine juniors, one sopho-
more, and one freshman, worked to meet their
objective ol buying sweaters lor the graduating
seniors. Under the leadership of Mr. Thompson,
the boys sold ice cream at noon, and had cake
raffles to raise the needed money. They also
helped sponsor the Varsity vs. Faculty Basketball

DRAMATICS CLUB
Dramatics Club is an honorary organization
comprised of seniors who appeared in any ol
the following productions:
"School Bus Romance” — One act play
"Eternal Life” — One act play
“Onions in the Stew” — Three act play
“All the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players”
— Shakespeare
This analogy between the theatre and life
can easily be seen in dramatic participation,
. . . understanding characters whom you
portray
. . . working with other people
. . . realizing the value of knowing what
to do
. . . improving speech habits
. . . having the satisfaction of a job well
done.

LATIN CLUB
Latin Club furnishes an opportunity for the
pleasurable learning of much about the Romans
and their civilization for which there is not suf-
ficient time in class. It helps in the establishing
of friendly relations between students and teach-
er, and between fellow students. It gives an out-
let to dramatic instinct, and at the same time
strengthens correct pronunciation of Latin.
In the fall sixty-three freshman were wel-
comed into the club.
The Latin Club sponsored a dance after the
basketball game, and a movie. With funds rais-
ed they held a party at the end of the year.
They purchased Latin Club pins in honor of
the two members with the highest grade average,
and awards were presented.
We thought Halloween went oul with October!

Al least the seniors had fun.
SPANISH CLUB
The Spanish Club this year had the unique
opportunity of getting to know three sponsors
during the school term. At the beginning of the
year Mrs. Bigler led the club, then Mrs. Mecder
took over for a while, and finally during the
second semester, Miss Swigart assumed the re-
sponsibility.
At the initiation in November, twelve sen-
iors and eleven juniors were taken into active
membership. After this, meetings were held when
an issue needed to be discussed or voted upon,
rather than on a prescribed day.
A dance was held near the beginning of the
year, and also the Spanish Fiesta in April. Both
proved to be popular with the students.
Through participation in this organization,
one can sec a practical side in the study of Span-
ish.

The French Chib with their advisor, Mrs.
Martin, strived to show sonic of the customs and
point out the highlights of France to the stu-
dents.
During the winter months initiation ol the
new junior French students took place. Later
in the spring the club was host to the Richland
and Zelienople French clubs. At this annual
affair the girls who had traveled to Europe,
showed their slides of France. Refreshments were
served and all had a good time.
The fifteen seniors and fourteen juniors
have qualified themselves as members of the
French club by meeting and maintaining the
“C” average.
Financial improvement of the club was made
by the sponsorship of a dance after a football
game.

SHORTHAND CLUB
The Shorthand Chib, tinder the leadership of
Miss Aloe, met every first Tuesday of the month.
In February, eighteen new students were initiat-
ed and brought in to the organization, making
the total number of members forty-eight.
In order to become a member of the club,
students must maintain a high academic stand-
ard.
The gii Is decided which type of office-practice
machines to leave for future commercial stu-
dents. In order to raise money for this equip-
ment, they sold pom-poms in the school colors,
at the football and basketball games, and, dur-
ing the holidays, Christmas corsages. In addition
to this, they sold home-made fudge every
Wednesday.
The work of the club along with the annual
trip to the business schools in Pittsburgh, pro-
motes a professional interest in the business field
and helps in both the academic and cultural
backgrounds of the participating students.

PLANET STAFF
“Type it up” . . . “Picture needed.” . . . “Write up missing” . . . Today's
the deadline!”
These are but a few of the familiar cries which rang through the small
office of the Planet Staff. Al times it seemed as if we might never get it done,
but with the help of all, it is finished. We have had a fine year of hard work, but
because of the close cooperation of the entire staff, we all really enjoyed it.

JUNIOR PLAY
Tryouts lor “Home Sweet Homicide” were
held in October. The cast was chosen and re-
hearsals got underway shortly after this.
Marian Carstairs, a widowed mystery writer,
led a relatively quiet life until her three child-
ren decided their mother needed some romance
in her life. Little did they know, to get this
romance going they were to be involved in a
minder of the next door neighbor. They wanted
their mother to help the police lieutenant solve
the case and thus kill two birds with one stone.
All developed and progressed well, bringing
the curtain down on November 22 and 23, on
another successfid Junior play.
A play cannot go on without the properties,
the stage could not be fixed without the stage
crew, and the make-up docs their job to put the
cast in better appearance. The publicity and the
ticket committees also performed their tasks
well, contributing to the success of the play.
The nights of practice will be remembered as well as the
night of production.

SENIOR PLAY
Nothing is accomplished without hard work.
I lie many weeks of hard work and strained
nerves proved to be well worth the effort, on
April I I and 12, when the Senior Class presented
the three act comedy, "Onions in the Stew.”
Did yon ever imagine what it would be like
to live on an island? The thought may sound
appealing, but as the story showed, the problems
changed with the weather. This is the setting
in which we found Betty MacDonald and her
family. If they were not being flooded out —
they were being snowed in. If it were not the
hot water tank giving them trouble — it was
the washing machine. Perhaps the old saying,
"It never rains but that it pours," could be ap-
plied to the house guests. These arc just a few
of the many incidents in which the characters
found themselves enveloped.

BAND
Drum Majorette Anne Swinderman
Throughout the year, the band played an
important part in creating school spirit. This
was shown by the line job it did during pep
meetings and at the football games.
This organization has been honored not only
as a marching unit, but also as a concert band,
and did its part at the annual May Day cele-
bration, and for the Senior Play.
One of the problems which came up during
the term was the scheduling conflict, which cans-
cd many members to miss rehearsals. But after
all was said and done, the band once again came
through in fine tone and spirit, thus proving the
old saying, “Where there’s a will there’s a way.”

MIXED CHORUS
The chorus as it sings "Gloria in Excclsis."
The chorus planned two big events to be
worked on throughout the year. The first was
the Christinas chapel program in which several
numbers were presented—practice having begun
shortly alter the start of school, continuing twice
a week until the performances in December.
The second and outstanding event, was the
band and choral concert held on March 21. Mr.
Ebner did an excellent job of directing.
This organization was made up of eighty
members, plus their accompanist, Marguerite
Schlag. Early in the fall try-outs were held, and
later selections were announced from among the
freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior classes.
Through participation in the mixed chorus,
its members have learned to appreciate music,
and its value as an international language.
64
ENSEMBLE
This year the Ensemble consisted ol seven
seniors, lour juniors, and two sophomores. This
is the first time lor a great number ol years that
there have been any sophomores in the Ensemble.
Since there was no period during the school
day in which they cotdd meet, it was necessary
lor these girls to practice during the lunch hour.
But even with these adverse conditions they prov-
ed themselves worthy.
1
Practice makes perfect
On December 20, the hist day before Christ-
mas vacation, they, along with the Brass En-
semble, went to the grade school, where they sang
and played carols. Later in the day the group
sang foi the Christmas assembly. The number
they chose was, “Il’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.”
The Gills woiked hard during the year, and in March competed in the
Forensic Contest. Through participation in this organization all furthered their
appreciation and ability in group harmony.
They were under the direction of Mr. Ebner, and their accompanist was
Marguerite Schlag.

WASHINGTON AND
TRIP
NEW YORK
The height of our Junior year was reached on June 5, 11:30 P.M., when our
train pulled out of Pittsburgh, headed lor Washington, D. C.
The following morning we arrived to a waiting breakfast. Immediately after-
wards we boarded a sightseeing motor coach. It took us through the many sections
of the city; making stops at the White House, the Capital Building, the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, and the Washington Monument. Later that afternoon,
we again boarded a train, and were soon on our way to New York City. Dinner
All aboard for New York! These are typical examples of that restful night.
Oh boy! I hat day in Washington was really great . . .
I he great metropolis of New York — diverse — pictures epic — entertaining — exotic —
was served in the dining car.
After arriving in the "big city”, we were taken
to the Hotel Tait, and enjoyed the accommoda-
tions very much. Many tours were planned lor
ns, our first being taken through the home of the
world’s outstanding newspaper, "The New York
Times.” Al tin NBC television studio we saw first
hand, how a television program is produced, by
watching the rehearsal of "Your Hit Parade.”
That evening we went to Broadway to see the
stage play, "No Time foi Sergeants."
The following morning, a three hour cruise
was taken around Manhattan Island. Later in the
day, we went sightseeing by bus, to the United
Nations Building, the Battery, Chinatown, the
Bowery, and numerous other places which make
up New York City.
"" As we pulled away from Jersey City Station
that evening, everyone felt that it had been a
trip, well worth the time and energy spent in pre-
paring for it. Through this trip, we enjoyed true
fellowship with our fellow classmates.

Dancing to the Continental mood of the G. A. A. Dance.
G. A. A. DANCE
Following the animal tradition, a senti-
formal dance was held on Thanksgiving Eve.
The theme of this year’s alfait was
“Around the World in Eighty Days.” The
music played for the grand march, which open-
ed the dance, was of course, the song of the
same name.
The idea was carried ont by the decora-
tions also. In the center of the gymnasium was
suspended a large paper balloon from which
was hung a basket. The sky was depicted by
blue and white streamers, and many points
of the world were indicated by posters along
the walls.
During intermission [tidy Smelscer was
crowned Football Queen, having been elected
by the football team. Following this, cookies
and punch were served to everyone.
The evening fled swiftly, but the memory
shall remain in the minds of all, dancing to
the mood of many continents.

Danser. Mr. Thompson, George Kuhn-Capiain
The 1958 Mars Planets produced the best
season Mars High has had in twelve years,
Under the able leadership of head coach Eugene
Danser, and assistants William Cessar and Arno
Thompson, the Planets ended the season with a
record of lour wins, lour losses, and one tic.
Mars High School is proud oi the line school
spirit shown by both the players and the student
body — this was a contributing factor to the suc-
cess of the team.
We would like to pay special tribute to
George Kuhn, captain of our team, who not only
led us to victory, but also made the All-
W.P.l.A.L. team. Bill Penney, a junior back, was
a runner up for this team.
This year’s graduating seniors arc: George
Kuhn, Bob Wagle, Paul Pearce, Doug Wood-
ward, Cary Woodward, Barry Ridgely, Richard
Kraus, Fred Forty, and Jim Elder. Our biggest
loss this year was the loss of these fine seniors,
and we are sure that the memory of the Mars
High Planets will live with them and aid them
in the years to come.

BASKETBALL
The Mars High School Planets showed
great promise dining their 1958 basketball
season. The team’s chances this year were nar-
rowed by lack of experience. The Mars squad
was also considerably lacking in height on all
courts upon which they played.
The only senior on the team this year
was Jack Hardt. We wish to congratulate
Jack on his fine record and faithful service
as a member of the Mars High basketball
team.
Coach Skacan and Captain Jack Hardt
Coach Skacan gives last minute instructions to D. Darr,
Co-captain B. Penney
.Along with Jack Hardt at iorwatd was
Gordon Nichols. At center we had Bill
Penney. The guards were Harty Miller, [ack
Lyons, and Dick Sylvester.
This year's leant wishes to thank coach
Edmund Skacan, whose hard work and
patience helped make the team a success.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL
Tiie Junior Varsity Basketball team under
the leadership of coach Edmund Skacan pro-
duced some astounding wins this year. The
boys had an enthusiastic spirit and a real will
to win. Intramural teams have been developed
in hope of finding new talent and to encour-
age boys to try out for the junior varsity
basketball team. The junior varsity teams
competed once again this year in the Y.M.C.A.
tournament in Butler. From the looks of this
vear’s team we can look forward to an out-
standing varsity team in the future.

The 1957-1958 Girl's Basketball Team was
under leadership of Mrs. Davis, who coached her
team on to a most excitine season.
o
Ont of the many girls who went out for
the team, seventeen were chosen to complete the
six positions of the Varsity. The other girls
competed for the Junior Varsity. Although there
were many girls, all seemed to have mutual feel-
ing of respect and friendliness, thus fulfilling
the desired aim in athletics.
The Senior Class was represented by five
girls. Pegg)’ Davis who at the beginning of the
year was voted Captain; Eleanor Martin, Judy
Keener, Mildred Miles, and Marsha Burford,
manager of the team. Other members were Mary
Feevey, Pegg)' Purvis, Nancy Woodrow, Pat Faw-
cett, Judy Hammond, Janie Hammond, Sidney
Cooper, Jean Scheppy, Carew Anderson, Lora
McMcekin, Sharon Christenson, Ursula Micr-
hoff, and Judy Beaver, the assistant manager.
The girls wish to express their thanks to all
those who supported their team and to the teach-
ers who displayed an interest.
