BASEBALL After showing up well in their non-league games the Cheltenham nine started Suburban I competition against Norristown on April l3 with high hopes of winning the league title. Coaches Robert Cunningham and Ralph Garreth turned out a strong aggregation composed mainly of experienced seniors. The pitching staff, led by Carl Higgin- botham and Bill Siegfried, showed promise of silencing the enemy bats. The other hurlers who rounded out the staff were Ronald Downs and Dick Williams. The Panthers were very strong around first base, with Frank Derk and Curt Barnes competing for the position. The keystone sack was held down by Bob McCreary, the top hitter for the Panthers, who won many a game with his booming bat. Ronald Kelley was installed at the short- stop position for the second year, while Aubrey Fennell moved from second to third to fill the gap left by Charles Messina. Sophomore Rabbit Vaught successfully filled in at the backstop position. Senior Chris Callas took care of center field and proved that he had not lost any of his power at the plate. ln the opening game he poled a long triple to the left field fence. Starting outfielders Jack Charters and Ken Polack were ably backed up by reserves George Hynson, Joe Stitz, and Marvin Sue. Always ready to take over in the infield were Buzzy Ryan and Ed McHugh. ln the opening game Siegfried and Higgin- botham shared the mound duties, to hold Ben Franklin to two runs on two hits while the Panthers pounded out a ten run total. In the second contest Central squeezed out a 7-6 win with two runs in the seventh inning coming on a circuit clout off the slants of Carl Higginbotham.

These words were the payoff to weeks of reading through piles of plays to finally choose a three-act comedy by Philip Barry, The Youngest , and then weeks of rehearsing and directing. With Donn Winther as the mistreated, heckled, youngest son, and Jackie Feldenkreis as his tlirtatious girlfriend, who turns the tide of his life, the plot went merrily along.

Jean Michel played Katie, the maid, and we mustn't leave out the little cocker spaniel and white cat who also had roles in this laugh-packed play. The stage looked like a real, honest-to- goodness Iiving room, thanks to Don Miller, Ann Harvey, and Walter Weidner, who headed the scenery, properties, and stage committees, respectively.
