SENATORS EXTENDED STREAK After forming the state’s longest winning streak at 29 wins straight, the Senators were stopped by Wicomico. The Dover sackers had a very impressive record of 14 wins and 1 loss. In the process they won the Diamond State Conference Championship by going undefeated in 12 games. The Dover nine showed their stuff where it counts by beating a strong Salesianum team 2 to 1 and thrashing Mt. Pleasant 9 to 2. The Senators will be hard hit by graduation this year as 11 players will leave Dover High. However, if all stands as in the past, a good team will be rebuilt. Much credit must be given to Coach Andrus as he has turned out the best baseball teams ever produced at Dover. He had fine help from his assistant, Coach Leto. Bob Reed’s almost flawless pitching and Jim Somer- ville’s valuable fielding combined with acrobatic base- running helped the capital winning season. The outfield of Jim Ake, Jim Calhoun, and Lance Hardy provided a strong outer defence. Hardy is the only starter returning. Ed Martin, Nolan Ray, and Larry Caniford supplied the rest of an omnipotent infield. (KNEELING) D. Dickenson, M. Geiger, J. Shaw, E. Calhoun, L. Hardy, V. Hutchins, J. Sylvester, N. Ray, J.

Spring is here and with spring comes softball. Approxi- mately thirty-three girls went out for the softball team; however, only twenty made the final grade. Out of this twenty there were six Freshman girls who will provide an excellent foundation in the coming years. Although there were only four Seniors on the team, Helen Grampp, Barbara Matthews, Mike Walmsley, and B. J. Pleasanton, they made their presence very evident by hard hitting, fielding, and by demonstrating their experience. This year’s captains were Barbara Matthews and B. J. Pleasanton, both of whom did a good job in filling this capacity. A force out at Ist base, retires the team.
