The Morningside iunior varsity baseball team this year is one of the best in the iunior varsity division that Morningside has ever had, said Coach Tom Branigan. The junior varsity team has a record of six wins and one loss in league play as of April I7, and had an all-around record of twelve wins and two losses in the season. Coach Branigan also stated that he hopes to have many of his boys playing varsity next year. Some of the leading hitters on the team were Mike Cadenhead, an outfielder, Denny Detarr, an outfielder, Herb Hinsche, an infielder, and Jerry Thagard, an infielder. Doing very well in the pitching role were righthanders Johnny Aitken, Jim Ketcham and Pat Mclarney. Morningside has great possibilities in the coming years with its 1959 freshman and sophomore baseball team, said Coach Connie Hamilton. As of April I7 this year the team had played only two games, winning one and losing one. In their win over Redondo, l3 to O, pitcher Rusty Foreman threw a two-hitter. The leading hitters on the team were infielder Gene Grillo, outfielder Bob Brown, catcher Dave Dwight, outfielder Irwin Miller and outfielder Jerry Jensen. These boys have good possibilities of becoming Morningside's varsity in the future, said Coach Hamilton. The pitching staff consisted of Rusty Foreman, Charley Blick and Jeff Varon, who all did good iobs. FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Terry Freeman, Vic Cabaslno, Joe Lee, Dave Dwight, Dave Munyer.

The Monarchs, competing in the rugged Pioneer League, stood a good chance of captur- ing a second place in league behind powerful El Segundo ot the time the Sceptre went to press.. The Pioneer League is probably the toughest league in the CIF, os the three teams com- peting in it have finished one, two, thre in many of th big meets in Southern California. Teams in the league behind MHS are El Segundo and Beverly Hills. This year is the swim- mers' last in the Pioneer League, as next year they are transferring to the Bay League. During the season the splashers compiled a record of eight wins and four losses in dual and triangular meet competition, During this yeor's campaign the Monarchs defeated such swimming powers as Whittier and Anaheim, while suffering their defeats at the hands of Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and El Segundo-who beat Morningside twice. In competition against the best teams in the CIF, the splashers captured o third place in the CIF Relays, a third in the Beverly Hills Invitational, a third in the Lynwood Relays, and o second place in the Santa Monica Relays.
