BASEBALL The Kings enjoyed a very successful baseball season by defeating every team they were up against and copping the County Baseball Trophy. On October 3 in tournament play Kingsville came up against New Lyme for the second time in the season. Bowdier pitched two-hit ball and was victorious, 1-0. On the morning of October 13, the Kings defeated Spencer in the semi-finals, 3-0. The game started as a pitchers duel, but Bowdier gained the win with his one- hit pitching against Spencer’s “double no-hit” pitcher, Cowger. In the finals on the same afternoon, Bowdier pitched another two-hit ball game, and came through with the aid of his team mates to edge out Rowe 2-1. The first trophy since 1937 was presented to the team following the game. Kingsville was now the County Champions. This was Coach Ed Batanian’s first year here. GIRLS CHORUS AND MIXED CHORUS This year the glee clubs of Kingsville High School have been fortunate in having as their instructor Miss Vivian Johnston from Ashtabula. The president or manager of the Girl’s Chorus is Mary Reed, with Georgia McCausland as her assistant. The chorus has performed several times, once at a P. T. A. meeting, and at a few assemblies. In the mixed chorus this year we had only two boys. Bill Fandrich and Roy Keller. These two boys, though outnumbered probably fifteen to one, held up their part of the chorus. We used three part music in both choruses for the most part, although at times two or four parts were used. Three cheers to the chorus and Miss Johnston for a wonderful piece of work by helping show off some of the finer points of music.
