Cardinal record-holder fulfills dream ll has helped me fulfill a dream. This sentiment was expressed by Lou Brock, former St. Louis Cardinal superstar. At an assembly held on February 3, Mr. Brock arrived to en- courage students to become involved in the Youth Leadership Program sponsored by Group W Cable. This program awards $1,000 to a selected student in the area. Serving as a national spokesman for the scholarship, Mr. Brock answered ques- tions about both the program and his ex- periences as a baseball player. Already, seven students from San G were chosen to represent the school. Don Bradley, Linda Hanlon, Janet Hobbs, Joyce Jackson, John Kocher, Cheryl Pro- vence, and David Verkest were among those selected from the San Bernardino area. From the four high schools, Cajon, Pacific, San Bernardino and San Gorgonio, a total of 27 students will com- pete for the award. The number of can- didates per school is in relation to the enrollment of the senior class. These students will compete on the basis of four areas — scholastic integrity, Physical fitness, cultural awareness, and community service. The Youth Leader- ship Program emphasizes the importance of becoming involved in a variety of activities. A well rounded person can hold his own in all conditions. If he specializes in only one or two areas he is vulnerable in others, Lou Brock stressed. Possibly the need to recognize a student who is well rounded stems from the fact that Lou Brock himself is considered a well rounded ballplayer. He has been acknowledged as the only player to steal over 900 bases and have more than 3,000 hits in a career. Another accomplishment Mr. Brock holds is his batting average of .391, the highest in World Series history.
