spring talent The spring talent show was enjoyed by all this year as the students were treated to a variety of talents and performers. There were many new faces in this year ' s show as many students learned that their friends were really talented people. Guitarists, pianists and singers were a part of the affair as the musical renditions were performed. Wrestling coach Ike Sherlock was the master of ceremonies and kept the crowd lively with his many stunts, jokes and puns. Coming away with the first prize was Larry Dean, who did his rendition of Elton John and showed his superb musica ability by playing the piano with his feet, hands and elbows; all this while singing All in all, this year ' s spring talent show was one of the most enjoyable yet.

BASEBALL Creeping towards respectability would have been an adequate slogan for the 1977 baseball team. After a few years of dismal losing seasons last years squad finished with a respectable 19-17 overall record. Impressive wins over teams such as Duke, North Carolina, Atlantic Christian and Virginia State highlighted the season. A narrow loss to Atlantic Christian in the District Tournament prevented any post-season play. But the fans don ' t remember the losses. All they remember is how hard it was to stay warm in the bleachers on those cold March and April nights. They remember Coach Black ' s tireless and unwavering support as he bicycled through the stands, throwing out bubble gum. They remember the Saturdays spent at the diamond for lack of anything better to do. Armed with cold drink and popcorn, they remember the sun beating down and the umpire ' s bad calls (only the bad one ' s stand out.) The umpire was the math teacher that gave you a test, the counselor that flunked you in room check, and the security officer that gave you a ticket all rolled up into one. So you gave him grief, much grief. That ' s what you remember most about baseball.
