STUDENTS ENJOY GAME, THEN DANCE.
Following the closely-.fought game with Uohnstown, the "faithful few"
followers and the team, strutted into nur main lounge, where they enjoyed the rest
of the night dancing and getting acquainted withe the rooters and team from Johnstown
Pitt. Pat Tomah° vats a good hostess o Bill Burcin introduced Pat to the Pitt
team members, and she rapidly spread the trend by getting more of our girls, mainly
Jan Magavich and Harriet Tulin, acquainted with the handsome Pitt Center boys, who were
sociable and frieddly,
The most enjoyable event of the evening was a jitterbug show by Fitt coach
David Ed Carolyn Arlotto was the first victim and she really gpt a workout
Everyone at the dance stopped to watch the jazzy steps of the active coach as he
clicked his heels and fingers to the snappy music. Margie Brehm was quite an attrac
tio6 to Jim Wilkes, also a sharp dancer, while Paul Hammett was closely watched by a
certain freshman coed.
Everyone enjoyed himself at this post-game affair; we hope you were with us.
Tonight the social committee has planned another dance of this sort so we hope to
see some new faces at the game and the dance. The game is at the Hazleton High
Gym.
HAZLETON CENTER BOPS ALTOONA
Our hoopsters from Highacres slid back into the winning column with a vengeful
win over Altoona at the H.H.S. gym last Saturday night by a score of 74-65.
Our Center five had too much power for the Altoona boys, although the score
wasn't lopsided. All of the Hazleton boys saw action. Tall Norm Hall was again
high scorer for the HUCsters with a total of 26 tallies. Bob'Boyle sank in l
counters, most of them sizzling set shots; while Jackie Polchia banked in 11 points.
Polchin, along with Raos and Michaels, proved to be good playmakerso
Altoona only used five men, four of them hitting for 60 points.
TOP FORM SHOWN AGAINST KEYSTONE.
Our snappy Center quintet hammered the Keydtone five Wednesday night at the
HHS gym by the score of 81-47. Our boys showed a peak performance and went on to
win thier fifth game in six starts. Highacred led all the way without too much
trouble, but Keystone was having trouble holding on to the ball and hitting the
bucket. Coach Zack Taylor's.strategy paid off by starting Jackie Polchin in the
lineup. Jack led the winning attack with 26 timely markers. Norm Hall and Vern
Raos sank 19 and 11 points respectively. Bob Boyle, while only getting 7 points,
was an able playmaker and an all around performer,
WHAT ABOUT CHEERLEADERS?
A few of our girls ( and all of the fellows ) were impressed by the Keystone
cheerleaders at the Wednesday night game. The Keystone lassies looked nice in their
royal blue and orange skirts and waistcoats. Why couldn't we have cheerleaders to
pep up our games. Maybe you think it's too late for some added attractions --- but
it isn't. All we need are a few of you girls, or better yet, a group of students
to sit in a special student section and cheer, clap and compliment our boys on good
plays. Don't forget we can all be cheerleaders ---- if we go out and support our
team,
