Right: Mr. Ernest Bauer, baseball coach for six years, died trag- ically of a heart attack in mid-season. Below: Danny Menzo bats for Grosse Pointe. Tennis, baseball finish one, two After losing the BCL Championship in tennis last year for the first time in 23 years, the 1968 Devil netmen, coached by Mr. Don- ald Zysk, bounced back to share first place with Monroe. Rick Ferman, Grosse Pointe's number one singles player, missed the first part of the season with an injured finger but came back to win the Regional singles title and was seat- ed sixth in the State. Grosse Pointe finished with a 9-1 league record and finished first in the Regionals with ZZVZ points. The 1968 baseball team finished second in the BCL with a 6-4 record. Because of Mr. Bauer's sudden death in May, Mr. George Duditch was appointed coach. Outstanding pitchers, particularly Bill Bailey and Byron Stuck, backed up by a strong defense and fantastic speed, sparked the Devil victories, while a lack of powerful hitting characterized the losses. Rob Zink was the first to be awarded the Ernest Bauer Trophy for most valuable player. 96 Rob Zink, elected most valuable player with a batting average of .294 slides home for a run.

Cheers, routines create enthusiasm An exorbitant display of school spirit isnlt all that is involved in being chosen as a cheer- leader. Girls who participated in tryouts last spring performed a number of group cheers and solos learned in clinics before being chosen for one of the two squads by varsity cheer- leaders and Miss Mulson. The girls attended a camp during the summer to learn new cheers and trade ideas and techniques with other cheerleading groups. The girls gave four hours a week during the year to practice, learn- ing and constructing new cheers to be pre- sented at basketball, football games, and swimming meets. The drill team, the Devils Brigade, was organized this year under the command of Val Schneider and Miss Manstedt. The 35 girls presented military drills and marched to music at halftime of home basketball games. The girls chose costumes of blue and gold mini dresses with hats and boots for their perfor- mances.
