The varsity baseball squad, led by Mr. Pelfryka and Captain Woody Arnold suffered through woes of a team rich in potential, but lacking in confidence and experience. With only five lettermen returning, Woody Arnold, Dick Davidson, Marty Schotz, Frank Titlow, and Bruce Wein- roth, the Rams were forced to rely on juniors, sophomores and first-year seniors for support. In spite of obstacles, the team improved steadily during the season. The Highlanders opened this season against Ridley Township; and, except -for the game with Cheltenham, a member of the Suburban I League, played completely in the Suburban II Bracket. Next year the Rams will have returning Matt Blum, Bob Kagg, Shelly Greenberg, Bill hiearn, John Spencer, Frank Titlow, and Chip Wilkinson. With the experience gained this year, these boys should provide the backbone for a stronger team next year. i Ridley Township batter whiffs on a Hoff- man fast ball. J inety-eight

TRACK Wl+h a strong nucleus of returning lettermen and a group of young prospects, the track team looked for a banner year. Among the returning lettermen were Don Jordan, hurdler and sprint man; Walt Reynolds, quarter-miler and broad- jumper; Alonzo Saunders and Ed Sterne, distance men; and Tony Watkins, sprinter and broad-jumper. The newcomers were Bart Frame, half-miler and broad- jumper; Ken McCloskey, distance man; John Moffett, shot-put, discus, and javelin; and Bob Schneer and Al Stewart, high- jumpers. The loss of such men as Jordon, Reynolds, Saunders, Sterne, and Watkins will force Coach Leroy Holllngsworth to rebuild his team by finding new prospects for next year. Co-captain Walt Reynolds hits the tape to bring in a 440 victory for Harriton. FIRST ROW: T. Davies, E. Sterne, W. Ramsey, L. Saunders, W. Reynolds. D. Jordan. D. Pearson. T. Watkins, R.

Turning out In full regalia for St. Patrick ' s day, the varsity eight rowed up and down the Schuylkill River despite the thirty degree temperature. A few factors such as the choppy water, the building of a new dock, and the sinking of the motor launch continually hampered practice. However, with the arrival of spring, the combined Varsity and J.V. squads began practice in earnest. On the weekend of April 23, at Princeton, Harriton finished second to the Hun School, while Lower Merlon placed third. Because of five returning lettermen and a strong J.V. squad. Coach Horner predicts a good year.
