Teamwork Will Pay Off in the Future I made the team because I had the potential to improve and the discipline to become an actual help to the team, explained David Andrews. Like most of the players, he realized the impor- tance of teamwork. Though each player could pick out another player that was his favorite, the coaches said that there was no real outstanding player. A lot of different players made good plays at different times. Team was the main idea of our players. Two games stick out in the minds of our coaches, but the most gratifying was beating Hastings in the second game. We felt that Hastings really waxed us the first game, and with hard work and deter- mination we pulled through to win the second game 5-2. Since many of the J.V. members are freshmen, the coaches expect them to be Freshman Brandon Sandefur, out at third by a Northbrook Raider, leaves the field. Photo by M. Spiller.

He Makes Things Happen It is late in the Hastings game and Andy Marlow is still working on warm-ups. Photo by R. Law. Andy (Pee-Pee) Marlow is the all around best player on the field. He is very reliable on defense, and he leads our offense with the best batting average. He gives our team the charge it needs. Junior Tim Moore's opinion of Senior Andy Marlow of the varsity baseball team is not a unique one. Though Andy does not think of himself as so outstanding, he knows he plays his best when he has a good attitude and is very confident. I have a winning sense in me. I hate to lose and I'll do all I can to win. Andy's baseball career has been influenced most by his mother. I want to do good for her. Despite Andy Marlow's busy baseball schedule, he finds time to do some of his favorite things like going to the beach, playing basketball, or just taking it easy. Andy is a three year varsity letterman and intends to continue his career. His general goals in life are to be happy and successful, to have money, and most of all to have a good family. Senior Mike Montgomery perceives Andy as a sandlot player. He is excited like he was when he played for the first time. He makes things happen.

Jay feels that his dad is the person responsible for his success. He was the one who got me started in golfing. Although Jay is graduating, his career in golf will not end. I plan to go to U.T. and try out for the golf team. In addition to golf Jay also enjoys playing basketball and going to rock concerts with his friends. He has also set a goal in life to graduate from college and get a good paying job. Jay does have one more additional talent. He is graduating Cum Laude in his senior class.
