Baseball Almost all of the boys in high school reported for baseball the first day of school. The team was much hampered because it had lost most of its letter- men. It was a tough job for Coach Hofmeister to get a team together. Two new battery mates were needed. Those who reported for baseball were John Vetteriok, Dick Brawdy, Clark Cole, Delmar Williams, Jack McDermott, Dick lclorran, Lonnie Scott, Ramon Rech- tenbach, Lewis Gipple, lrank Cole, Ed Scharder, Paul Prichard, Gary Bond, Rex Hight, Larry Bauer, and Richard Vetterick. Two lreshmen Jerry Bower and Bob McDermott saw some action in games that we played. The Freshmen had baseball at a diferent period than the other Qoys in high school. Our starting lineup was Uclorran P, R. Vetterick C, J. McDermott lB, J. Vetterlck 2B, I. Cole 3B, Gipple SS, Scott LF, C. Cole CI, Brawdy RP. Clark Cole turned his knee early in the season and couldn't play anymore. Ed Schra- der, Paul Prichard and Jerry Bower also saw a lot of action, Scott and F.
