Girls' Sports Many girls at Central were active in the sports offered to them both through their gym classes and after-school participation. By being active in one or more of these sports, the girls gained points toward their school letter. Basketball is considered one of the most popular girls' sports at Central, and had an especially large turnout this year. Volley- ball also seemed to be particularly liked by the girls. Both Junior and Senior Life- saving was offered this year as a part of the sports program, and a large number of girls received their badges. Later in the year field hockey and baseball were played, completing the sports program for the girls. Much credit should go to the managers of these teams, who spent long hours keep- ing the equipment in shape. The Managers were Evelyn Francis, basketball; Shirley Hatfield, field hockey; Beth Soule, bowling; Margorie Sperry, swimming; Shirley Davis, softball; Mary Ballantyne, hiking; and Catherine Smith, volleyball manager. Miss Prahl, Mrs. Park, and Miss Carlson, the gym teachers, should also be thanked for their work. The Girl's Athletic Association is posed of girls who have earned fifty points towards their letters. Through the G. A. A., the girls have a chance to complete their total of points and add to their sports in- terests. GIRLS' SWIMMING—Front Row: M. Elwood. R. Lang. J. Clement, A. Groom, K. Earl, N.

VARSITY GOLF—Front Row: Paul Zavalla. Pat Gammon, Bob Vowell, Eldon Grose, Back Row: Ed Zavalla, Frank Young. Golf With a team that boasted three polished lettermen supported by an able corps of mostly new golfers, the Flint Central links- men paraded through an eleven-meet schedule with an impressive record. The team got off to a good start winning 451 to 474 over a hapless Arthur Hill five. The veterans that Coach Dick Evans had on hand were Frank Young, Paul Zavalla and Ed Zavalla. Heading the list of their supporters were Pat Gammon, numeral winner in 1944, Phil Timyan, and Bob Vowell. Other Indians who saw some service and should be stalwarts for next season's team were Junior George Coulman and two sophs, Tom Elder and Gene Mishler. Two Seniors who were on the squad this past season were Dave Coon and Don Dutton. Baseball The baseball nine, sporting seven letter- men including three veteran hurlers and two excellent receivers, proved one of the best at Central in recent years. Coach Jerry Udell's charges gave a good account of themselves in both Saginaw Valley and City competition. The lettermen on hand for the season were pitchers—Manley Benmark, Willard Revord, and Southpaw Phil Timyan; catchers—Ken Sheffer and Don DuLude; infielder—Bob Elston; outfielder—Bob Reynolds. Also on hand as a third catcher was Jim Bersinger. The regular infield has Ray Steffen at first, Rollie Benford playing second, Scotty Wilson combining with Elston at short, and Don Morrow handling third. Wally Knob- lock, Bob Lambert, and George Brown covered left and right field. Art Stewart, Leon Wilcox, Eddie Wheeler, Doc Hodgins, and Don LaDuke were all pitching candidates.
