While Coach Lozier was seeking the needed depth, several new track records were established by both the varsity and freshman squads. Thefvor- sity registered new records from Gary Moss, who vaulted 12' l , Steve Gotshall, who ran the low hurdles in 2l.8, and Bruce Moss, whose hard hard running produced a mile in 4.45.4. Freshman records were es- tablished by Larry Piercy in the highs 07.85 and lows i23.U, Jerry McQuis- ton in the 220 i23.7J, and Stan Martin in the two mile Ul:O3.4J. With these front running performances, the fresh- men placed second, one-and-a-half points out of first, in the Maconaquah Relays. At the annual Spring Sports Banquet several track members who had shown exceptional ability were recognized. Varsity members who were awarded major awards were Gary Moss, top field event, Chuck Moon, top sprinter, Bruce Moss, top distance man, and Jay Strauch, out- standing underclassman. Freshman members recognized were Jerry Mc- Quiston, top sprinter, and Jeff Fuller, top distance man. Holding doggedly onto his lead position, Bill Martin grimaces with the pain of a long-distance runner.

A well-placed hit here, a circus catch there, and the Kings baseball team, under the guidance of Jack Ayers, rolled along to another winning season. With steady pitching from Mitch Yeakley and Mike Ramer, ex- cellent fielding from Lew Hanson and Ed Carver, and solid hitting from Jay Strauch, Kim Jones, and Gary Moss, the Kings' opponents seldom rose to the attack. While everybody was preoccupied watching the varsity perform, the younger Kings were preparing for their day in sunshine. Under the able guidance of Ken Miller and Jeff Jones, the junior varsity and iunior high, re- spectively, gained valuable skills and knowledge on their march toward a varsity debate. As each member of the varsity strove for a perfect record, several leaders became evident. At the end at the season, each of these leaders were recognized. Kim Jones led the Kings' batting for all games with a solid .438. Jay Strauch, however, was MIC bat- ting leader for the Kings with a re- spectable .364. The pitching staff was led by Mitch Yeakley, who had a record of 3-l.
