Senior slugger, Tommy Isemin- ger displays his power hitting, an asset to Hornets' championship drive. Even though losing valuable players each year, Hillcrest has a reputation for producing formidable baseball teams. This year's team was blessed with considerable depth in 13 returning lettermen including Torn Iseminger, Wayne Ryan, John Norris, Dan Barrett, Steve Seal, Steve Rich- ards, Cliff Farmer, Ron Norris, Wray, Pat Blasi, Kenny Drumright, Pat Blair, and Tom Lemmons, a transfer from Sedalia. Coach Dick Birmingham did his usual fine job in working on fundamentals and strategy, helping the team to compile a fine record. With experience as their leader the girl's golf team con- tinued to improve. Losing only one letterman to gradua- tion, the returning girls were Judy F ollis, Jan Musick, Cindy Hart, Pat Ward, and Shirey Pierce. This seasoned team proved a tough competitor to all comers. With competition always high, the boys had rougher going in their matches. Led by veteran Jay Bowmaster, the returning lettermen included Jackie Wingo, Robert Rice, Mark Roepke, Jerry Hessee, and Steve Young.
