Trojan Tradition

The iconic hero and the coach of the 1958 WPIAL championship team each will be among seven former football standouts added to Greater Johns- town High School’s Trojan Ring of Honor on Friday.

George Azar, who kicked the winning field goal against Clairton in front of 11,911 fans at Pitt Stadium, and Dave Hart, coach of the 1958 WPIAL title-winning Trojans, will each join the ring posthumously.

The Trojan Ring of Honor’s second class also will include the late Joe DelSignore Sr. (Class of 1946), Jerry Davitch (Class of 1959), Ed Stetz (Class of 1968), Mario Hardison (Class of 1992), Brian Mangiafico (Class of 1992) and Quenteen Robinson (Class of 1996).

Cochran Junior High School held its promotion exercises, to promote tenth grade students to the High School, on May 29, 1933, at 8:00 pm, at the Cochran auditorium.

The class colors were blue and white, the class flower was a rose, and the class motto was "Crescat Scientia--May Knowledge Increase"
