Athlete Of The Month
The Windber H.S. sports spotlight of the month shines upon Ralph Facciani, a brown haired, hazel eyed senior from Room 302.
 RALPH FACCIANI
"Fudge," as he is commonly called, is a varsity quarterback. He can truly boast of remarkable passing ability. Although he is a Rambler letterman, he sat out his Junior year because of a leg injury. "Fudge's" chief hobby is "Sports in general" as he states it, with his chief baseball interest falling on the Yankees and Mickey Mantle.
Ralph’s favorite color is blue; he chooses solid geometry and Mr. Mease as his favorite subject and teacher. His ambition is to become a football coach.
