PARNASSUS PLEDGES TO WEAR '‘HATS’ 1
The monthly meeting of Parnassus was held Friday, February 20, in Mr# Camp
bell's office, with Bill Coll presiding* The new pledges attended the meeting#
It was decided that the pledges should wear t heir hats every Monday and Thursday
until May, when they will be brought into membership# A committee, composed of
Miss Pearl Garbrick, Mr# Frank Kostos, Pat and Biil Coll, was appointed
to compile the student activity points for this semester and to make suggestions
for changing the point values needed for membership#
CHEEVOLETS LEAD FIELD OF SEVENHWIINE CARS REGISTERED
During the last three weeks, the registration of cars took place# In case
anyone forgot to register his car, he should walk***—* cr better yet run— to
Captain Carper’s office and take care oftfais matter unless he is interested in
paying a fine of one dollar# Captain Carper has stated that the Traffic Committee
have sharpened their visual acuity and will be on the job in order that the
offenders may be brought to justice and the fines collected ( a very minor detail,
of course )•
Upon looking over the list, we found that several students are driving new
1953 models# The following are the very lucky drivers: Thomas Hclock, Chevrolet;
Falatko, Plymouth; T o ny De Toma, Oldsmobile; Marvin Edelstein, Dodge station
wagon; John Lovrinic, Buick; Jimmy Walker, Buick#
The honor of driving the oldest car goes to Larry Sydlo with his 1931 Ford
and Jack Taluskie with his 1931 Packard. According to Larry and Jack, their cars
are operating in tip-top form and are just as good as the day they were brand new#
Rnnwirtcr a close second are Nick Pelick and Bob Tracy who are the proud owners

Probably tnc largest car rcgisueroa is th-- 1952 .light green Cadillac' convert-

Butch Pardee| The smallest car is undoubtedly the 1952 tan Austin driven by
the Tomshos—Pat and Bob,
Of the seventy-nine cars registered, Chevrolets lead the field with fifteen,
but the Plymouths are on their heels with fourteen, and not far behind are the
Fords with eleven. The fourth place slot is held by the Dodges with seven# The
Buicks and Oldsmobiles are tied for fifth place with six cars apiece#
Two interesting registrations are the 1950 Jaguar driven by John Doe with
the license number 70H61, and the car driven by Robert Dengler# The manufacturer
(Trouble) of the Dengler car may not be familiar to most of the students, as it
came off the assembly line in 1i56 B# C, These cars are not known to most of the
students and ceftainly net to this reporter, but if anyone desires further in*
formation they may try to contact the owners, if they can#
MOUNTAIN LIONS SHARPEN TEETH ON ALTOONA STATE
Last Friday night, before an impressive crowd, the Mountain Lions ripped
Altoona 9lt-86 at the A. D# Thomas gym# This marked the third straight victory
for the Mountain Lions and their fourth of the campaign#
Once again, it was Norm Hall, the Lions' scoring sensation, who topped the
scoring column with 29 points# Hall, who offered his services to the team as
a "re-bounder" because "he wasn’t much of a shot", dropped in 22 markers in the
first half before he was pulled by Coach Frank Antinozzi, Scrappy Joe Scarcella
took time off from his brilliant defensive game to fate 18, while former H H S
athletes, Cling Frank and Jimmy Griesing, hit the bucket for 15 each# Big Bill
Burcin (B* B. B. ), who has been rated as one of the scrapiest and hardest-playing
hoopsters ever to appear on the A* D, Thomas floor, split the cords for 7, and
on the outside, Ed Evancho, tapped in 5# "Little Mighty" Mike
Kistiszyn and hard' driving George Kobrick, both playing marvelous ball, tallied
,5 and 7 respectively* Lacked, -the Altoonh seprip, ape,,, •• tip,s Nosm„ Ha^
