Best Season Since ’53 The varsity baseball team’s season was enlivened by its team members’ attitudes. For away games, the mem¬ bers sang “John Thorpe’s dope’s gonna freeze tonight; ain’t gonna get no buzz’’—as their bus song. While sit¬ ting on the bench, some team mem¬ bers held a contest to see who could drink the most orange juice. Mark Bry¬ son held the record at 31 cups. The team concocted nicknames for each other. David Wolfford was dubbed “conehead” after Saturday Night Live’s Coneheads from the planet Re- mulack. The team’s humorous nature did not distract from their seriousness on the diamond. Their 12-3 record was varsity baseball’s best since the year 1953.

The two halves of a game run about fifteen to twenty minutes, and during the last five minutes of each half no substitu¬ tion is allowed. A limited amount of time is left to rotate players, and the coach is often forgetful. The team’s aggressive play received some energetic responses. Shelly Scott celebrated one of her goals by doing a split in front of the cage. Jr. High Vital J.V.
