Baseball Time . . . and Enthusiastic Fans Cheer During the spring a young manis fancy is said to turn to baseball. This spring was no exception, for approximately fifty candidates reported for practice. After two weeks of training, Coach Hangen carefully sized up the prospects and selected his twenty-one men. The team started with a bang and steam-rolled over the other teams in the league. The outcome . . . ten wins, one defeat and the northern county crown. With a winning spirit and this honor tucked under their belts the boys invaded Spring Grove, southern county victors, and became sole county champions . . . a perfect ending to the season for a hard working gang of ball players.

As soon as the Country Club fairway turns a velvety green the lads are out swinging golf clubs. In their matches with York High, Dover and West York they claimed two wins and three defeats. As for tennis, usually an outdoor sport . . . because of the uncooperative weatherman the players resorted to the gym, where they ran competition Cfor floor spacej with volleyball, basketball, shufHe- board and the mild, brain wracking game of checkers.
