In
March
of
2004
Bob
Stabile.
was
going
through
some
old
photos
when
he
came
across six
pictures
that
he
took
at an MtL
football
game
either
in
'47
or
'48.
They
are
pictures
of a
game
(someone
scoring
a
TD),
cheerleaders,
etc.

I
can't
identify
any
of
the
jocks,
but I
think
the
cheer
leader
may
be
Patsy
Crawford
(Class
of
'47).
She
became
a
member
of
the
boy's
golf
team,
was
the
first
girl
ever
in PA
to
win a
letter
in
golf,
and
was
the
subject
of
feature
articles
in
Pittsburgh
papers.
By
the
way,
the
Lebanon
Log
reported
that
the
golf
team
in
'47
was
undefeated
until
they
reached
the
WPIAL
playoffs,
where
they
lost
to
Latrobe,
whose
star
was
Arnold
Palmer!*
I
believe
Patsy
went
to
Purdue,
where
she
starred
on
the
women's
golf
team
and
when
she
came
back
to
MtL.,
set
the
women's
course
record
at
St.
Clair
??
(perhaps,
South
Hills)
CC.
This
doesn't
have
much
to do
directly
with
'48,
but
it
does
bring
back
good
memories.
Patsy
was
my
lab
partner
in
chemistry
with
Mr.
Brown.

comments
on
Bob's
comments:
While
in
college
I
dated
a
girl
named
Winnie
Walzer
for
several
months.
In
1966
I
introduced
my
wife,
Kay,
to
Winnie,
aka
Mrs
Arnold
Palmer,
at a
fund
raiser
for a
local
hospital.
Arnold
was
the
featured
speaker.
I
think
it
was
one
of
the
few
times
his
wife
was
the
center
of
attention
from
members
of
the
audience.
