Spring in Upper Marl- boro was also the signal that it was time for the be- loved sport of our nation-baseball. Behind our school potential Babe Ruths could be seen batting, base running, pitching, fielding, bunting, catching, throwing, and sliding. This was being done in preparation for the time Frederick Sasscer would meet another team on the diamond, and anxiously await those familiar words from the umpire, Play Ball! And play ball we did! Our southpaw Vern Buck winds up for another strike. ' A 'Qfsfl Tommy Clagett demonstrates the correct stance during batting practice.

The infectious excitement of the winter basketball season grappled both spectator and participant in its grasp. Many an exciting and challenging match was viewed in the '56-'57 season. Whether the Sasscer Devils won or lost, the important ideas of good sportsmanship, fair play, and doing one's best prevailed. We can therefore state that we completed an interesting and successful season in this sport that not only is a developer of strong bodies and good co-ordinationg but, that is also an aid in developing strong and worthwhile characters. The boys worked hard at practice, U They played hard during the games.
