Lake Erie Junior Nature and Science Museum and Baycrafters. An authentic colonial skirmish was also held in Huntington not far from booths of pottery, t-shirts, and paint- ings. Once again, a tremendous turnout was possible due to beautiful weather. Among the kids eating popcorn, old folks strolling, couples buying and the racket of musical instruments, Bay lived up to the Bicentennial. Taking a break from a long, hot, day of work in one of the booths, sophomore Ed Begnaud contemplates whether or not it's worth working so long. Barefoot-Bayday Community I

 arsity Diamondmen Warm Up Boasting thirteen returning letter- nen, the varsity baseball team has a remendous advantage. The 1975-76 earn finished secona in conference May with a 15-13-1 record, won iectionals, and came out runner-up n districts. Of the talented lettermen. there are six seniors, six juniors, and one romising sophomore, John Osborne, whose recent move to Bay gives the team an added lift. Although the 76 diamondmen had a successful season, there is even greater promise in the 77 lineup. Junior Rick Naumann, whose pitching led the Rockets to an honorable record, noted: “If we play up to our capabilities and don’t make any mental mistakes, I don’t see a team around that can beat us.’’ The team definitely has a busy season ahead, with each new contender after the SWC crown. Senior Randy Laverty said, We will have more game experience than ever be- fore with over thirty games scheduled.” Indeed, the baseballers are nowhere near to a wet-behind-the-ears team. Three of their players were awarded all-conference honors last season: John Gross, Lee Rohlke, and Rick Naumann. Greg Haneline was bestowed an honorable mention. Without a doubt, this year’s group of dazzling diamondmen have their hearts set on the top. “We expect State,” said senior Scott Richards, but our success will mainly depend on how well we start out.” Senior Rich Weimer summed it all up beautifully. With our experience and potential, we could go as far as our dedication takes us. This daring and poorly tlmad diva by members of an opposing team proves fortunate to Randy Laverty. who is found straddling the ball. Laurie Talks About Herself I am not an average locker. My owner this year is a cheerleader named Cheery. She is a senior, thank God. Last year I was stuck with a freshman who always for- got where I was. Or else he forgot his combination. He had his problems. I felt like a tube-sock depository. Being a senior locker is not all roses, however. For five months there was this sociology textbook over my top shelf. It didn't move once. Cheery took Journalism first semester, and once she got a banana from Ms. Bush. She is allergic to them, so she snuck it our in her purse. Then she stuck it on the top of that textbook, where after a few weeks it became permanently fused to the cover. Cheery also had Ms. Bush for Group Dynamics. One day she had to wear a bag over her head, and forgot to take it off. On her way to physics, she ended up at Westerly. Mr. Wagner said. Gee. that's really, really fantastic, guys.
