the thrill of the slide varsity bastbal Striiike three — you ' re out a there!!! This phrase became common to most oppos- ing batters against the Senator ' s pitching staff. Pitcher Senior Scott Bibee and Junior Pat Mc- Gruder had a chance to prove they could step onto the mound and play hard ball. After losing Donovan Osbourne, our number one pitcher last year, along with most of our strong team, 1 thought we wouldn ' t be as strong. I thought we would be lacking depth in the pitching depart- ment, but it seems like we gained it. We are really doing great, said Senior Charley Parnell. The Senators had a 4-0 record sliding into 1st place 2 ' 2 games ahead of Reed at the start of the season. 1 hope we can keep this streak going I ' m sure we can, said Senior Ray Oster. Reno, Reed, and Douglas were expected to be the strong competition for the Senator Squad. Spring Break was spent in sun- ny San Diego. The Senators played teams from all over South- ern California in a spring tour- nament. The tournament is pret- ty important but it gives us a break from the league and I think everyone enjoys relaxing in the sun and sand, said Senior Billy Britt. Ray Oster makes a successful squeeze bunt against the Wooster Colts. The game en- ded in a Senator Victory. Pat McGruder fires up a strike against the Douglas Tigers in which the Senators came out on top. -; :V- ■- . -■ • M fW m f ' ■ 150

I am really nervous about running today, said Cathy Schmitt only hours before her first meet of the season. Most ath- letes felt the same way before their first track meet of the sea- son explained Sara Wrathall, We are all nervous because we have to defend our state title against some good competition. The track team was headed by Coach Bateman who coached the Carson High team for the past nine years. Although Coach Bateman mostly concentrated on the hurdles on form and speed, he was the head coach of the track team and worked with all the athletes ' track members. Joining the coaching staff was Coach Acker. She helped the speedsters on their sprints by making them all work harder than ever before. Coach Acker had her speedsters lifting weights, running up hills, and jumping plyomodenic boxes. All these ex- ercises really helped to improve the speedsters ' times.

The thrill of the track season is when the ' eeks of hard practice pay off by winning the meets. By setting s goals, it is unexj accomplish all ol Sydney Dull, 152
