Although this sport was handicapped from the beginning because of the transportation shortage, a schedule of ten games was arranged with the small towns near Waterloo, who usually have good baseball teams. Baseball caught on immediately as some forty boys reported to Coach XY'illiam XY'aters for the first night of practice. XY'e.1ring the American l.egion -lunior league uniforms. the Trojans found some brilliant pitchs ing and enough hitting to carrv them past lludson twice, lf-I and 9-N, NN averlv 5-ll and 7-3. llilse ll?-ll and llunlverton li-3. lfast was host to the sectional tournament at W'aterloo stadium. and atlvancetl to the district meet at lfast, also. after having beaten lludson.

Bobby was credited with three shut-outs during the course of the season. one of these a no-hit no-run job against Dike. jack Bruner, the only left hander on the pitching staff, was credited with a no-hit performance against Sacred Heart in the sectional tournament. Only one Cardinal reached first base against Jack. The men of XY'aters tools the district trophy with- out too much trouble. as Bob George and Llacls Bruner silenced Shellsburg and Sumner respectively bv shutsout victories in the opening rounds of the tournament.

'llurrfiing llarlif u1i'Hlffrr,s in .ilur vfllfllldfillll Band Cuts New Figure The East High band this year has been more active in student activities than ever before. The group has been a contributing factor in all the patriotic pro- grams East has staged. The pep band of 48 members played for the pep meetings, football games. and several baseball games. Their marching ability was displayed in the state Moose Convention parade, the Santa Clausu parade, the Memorial Day parade. and especially during halves at the football games. The novel formations. along with the use of lights, made this band the top march- ing band in the state. The SY members comprising the concert band also had a busy year. They gave three student concerts plus newly inaugurated concerts in XY'aterloo's public parks. liast and XVest High were hosts to the lowa bandmasters convention held in june. at which thev played a concert. All musicians in the band study privately either with Herbert Goodwin. band director, or with out- sider instructors. East High has become especially noted all over the nation for its Hne ensembles. Over one half of the band members play in small groups. This year 12 of its ensembles won superior ratings in the state music contest. The band ofhcers. La Rue Bentz, president: Bob Kopel, student council: Fawn XValters and Don Smith, senior representatives: Gerry Gibson and .lack Plum- mer. junior representatives. have been the sponsors of many social functions during the year. Dances were the most popular, but the group also had a Christmas party. a launch party, and several picnics. Another section of the band. the swing band. also played a prominent part in student life. Started originally for Hi Neighbor , the group stayed to- gether for the remainder of the year. They played for the Ciym Circus in .-'xpril and for several dances. Band members participated in other extra-cur- ricular activities. and many were leaders in the general school life. lhgi' Tliirlvy
