Girls' Softball Once again the old A.S. gloves and bats were brought out of storage for the annual softball season. This year's December tryouts found many new potential players out on the field. Fourteen of the girls were finally singled out and, with Nancy Howe as Captain, the team's rigorous practice began. Since only two other High Schools entered the M.A.A.S.S. Softball League, the season was rather short. The girls won all four of their games and added another first place trophy to our collection.

Boys' Softball The Boys' Softball Team was chosen in the beginning of January and its members began to train immediately. Under the direction of Coach De Leon and Captain Bill Stovall the boys Worked hard and displayed excellent sportsmanship.

The results of hard train- ing Were evident on the diamond and the team certainly warranted their wonderful record. Gil Cepeda waits for the right one to come in.

K Girls' Track and Field Early in January, the long, hard training for the Girls' Track Team got underway. The turnout this year was quite large, and competitive spirit was strong. Our girls entered events which ran the gamut from high-jump and broad-jump to foot races of every kind. The encouragement and guidance of Coach Lina Nepomuceno were invaluable and the Team fought its Way to a place in the M.A.A.S.S. League which shows that a very successful year has certainly rewarded the efforts of the group. Susan Jones prepares to heave her discus for a new record.
