BASEBALL Although the midterm graduating group is traditionally small, boys of the class of January ’53 placed outstanding athletes on all four Bomber squads: baseball, football, basketball and track. These teams left a blazing trail of records and memories long to be remembered and challenged by new, hopeful athletes. Their individual achievements as well as their team play have earned many of the senior sports figures recognition far beyond Hast High School and has made them potential college and pro athletes of tomorrow. Two of our classmates, Vic Kovacic and Andy Okulovich, played key roles in bringing the City Base- ball Championship to East in 1950. That year the Kings of Swat” finished with a record of 14 wins against 3 se tbacks. The following season saw Steve Stoyko playing alongside Andy and Vic. The team started out with a big bang playing one thousand ball in the first round of Senate play. After winning the district play-offs, the squad went to Columbus to represent the Cleveland area for the State Baseball Championship. Columbus Mc- Kinley took over and won by a score of 4-1. After returning from Columbus, the boys were unable to bounce back strong enough to win the Senate Crown, and ended the season on the top end of a 14-4 record. The most successful diamond season came in '52 with Vic, Steve and Andy as team-mates on the starting nine. Climaxing the first half of Senate play, the boys made a return trip to Columbus once more seeking the State Cham- pionship. They lost to powerful Cincinnati Central 7-1, but this time they returned with the determination and fight necessary to capture the Senate championship.
