VARSITY BASEBALL Hardwood on Horsehide—the Sound of Victory Spring is welcomed by the crack of a bat or the spliting of air, whatever the case may be, with the game of baseball. However, practice was begun months before with the lifting of weights and exercises designed to build muscles for smashing homeruns and fielding grounders. Returning to the team were many lettermen along with numerous players coming up from junior varsity. Baseball is the game for all boys, regardless of size, if they have the will, ability, and speed. East Forsyth’s team looked good as they ra cked up runs for their school. Making sure we get runs... FRONT ROW M. Yokiey, C. Beeson, K. Willard, L. Ferrell, R. Weavil, M. Flynn, M.

Baseball is a game of speed and skill and whatever the umpire says goes, no matter how much the coach argues. A good slide some- times makes the difference of being safe or out. | 192

TRACK TEAM Straining Sinews Blazing Breath — a Weary Winner Track—the sport where speed and endurance are neccessities. Returning seniors Danny Robertson, Phil Coleman, Mike Fulp, Sam Crews and Robby Dunnagan added their experience and form to the team, working with and encouraging the entire team. Track is a rugged sport that demands top performance in every phase. To win, one must know when to hold back, or excel and to be able to keep going when every ounce of strength seems sapped. Although track meets are held in spring, before Christmas the Eagles began conditioning their bodies, running lap after lap in the auditorium. Coached by Alan Morton, the track boys are, and must be, a dedicated group. Their performance and devotion to their sport are true qualities of Eagles and although track is not regarded as a spectator sport, it is one that deserves our pride and recognition. Run, run, run!! See Dan run! FRONT ROW M. Stevens, G. Bauguess, T. Gordon, N. Baker, D. Robertson, P. Coleman, B. Bauguess, M. Lauten, R. Whicker, SECOND ROW E. Byerly, T. Robertson, T. Montgomery, S. Summerford, K.
