The squad was strengthened tremen- dously by four returning lettermeng Mike Urton, Scotty Johnson, Bob Behrens, and David Grott, all of whom had a part in the season's success. The JV baseball team got underway early this spring under the direction of newcomer Bob Renning, who seemed to be well pleased with his team's outlook and attitude, abig factor which affected the team's play throughout the season.

The boys, guided by Coach Alva Hawkins and assistant coach Darryl Doss, worked endless hours toward these ends. Coach Hawkins attitude about the upcoming season was optimistic. He said that more track meets on home ground would be in the team's favor. Strength and stamina were vital to the teams success but an even more important factor was the team's will to win. 121
