Mr. Wfoodworth, Hodsoll, Kelham, Ramsey-Hill, Wood, Cooper. This year's squash program was perhaps the most active ever seen on the Mesa. The team's schedule encompassed a four-match program with the faculty, Olympic Club, and the University of California. Students also entered the Bay Area C Tournament and did quite well. Squash, as a sport, gained a great deal of popularity this season with a record turn- out. Leading the school ladder were Marc de Tristan, Frank Hodsoll, Rory Kelham, John Ramsey-Hill and Bill Cooper. The ladder, which is composed of all who play squash, is the object of daily challenge and rechallenge matches. This year saw, in addition the refurbishing of the courts, thanks to the generosity of an alumnus. Interest in squash at Cate has greatly increased, and, if this progress con- tinues, squash will take a more permanent place in our future athletic program. de Tristan reaches for a corner shot.

Coach Woodworth greeted a squad of six returning lettermen, and worked them into a fine, well-polished ball club. Bill Cooper, who toiled on the mound for the Blue and White horsehiders, was backed up by George Ellis, returning shortstop. Mike Berozheimer and Jack Wood saw infield chores and Bob Fairchild and Dave Young patrolled the pastures as in '54. The hitting was not outstanding, but was not as poor as the preceding season. The infield eventually grew into a tight defensive unit. A small bench also plagued Coach Woodworth, and a lack of pinch hitters added to the coach's grey hairs. In some spots, experience added greatly to aid the club. George Ellis had much sum- mer experience in municipal league ball in Los Angeles, and Bill Cooper chucked a little, though not on an organized club. The other returning lettermen also saw limited 'sum- mer action. The team was not benefited by the fact that practice didn't start until April first, due to a late cage season and then spring vacation. Last season, the club finished seventh in the Tri-Valley League, but knocked off fourth-place Carpinteria High and tied-for-first Santa Ynez. This latter victory, in the last diamond skirmish of the season, proved to be an aid to the men in the '55 campaign.
