T'was the Spring of 47 and baseball was m the air The first turnout had been slated, There were sore arms here and there. The list of returning lettermen Made Coach Martina glad And the new fellows playing, Didn't look half bad. There were Thompson and Negaard to share the catching Either Johnson or Lund on the hill Nordquist covered the first base sack While Bettinger stood by with a will. Wallace Red Nelson was second baseman Lund, when not pitching, was shortstop Manning was ready to fill in where needed A utility man, who was tops. At third there was Hungar With Graves standing by Ready to stop line drive, grounder, or fly. Roaming in the out field Were Cushman, Zahler and Hart. With Hadsell, Neil or Dave Johnson Ready to do their part. The team had excellent material And a swell coach besides This was the year we had waited for The wins would be on our side. The first encounter was a high scoring one, With Everett's second team. The Vikings won 9 to 10 We were really on the beam. The next team we beat was Granite Falls 4 to 0 was the score The Lake by now was going strong, And wanted more and more. One inning was all that was needed next game, to win it for the Lake, 7 runs we made in one frame that day But that wasn't all we could make. We added 3 more to be sure of ourselves And raise our total to ten. Twin City could gather but six that day Though they had some mighty good men. Lake Stevens—three; Darrington—two; It was mighty close, you can see. Dick Johnson stole home on a wild pitch T'was the margin of victory. Dick also pitched a one hit game. He was hero of the day The rest of the team did their part, too In a way that was really okay; Our fifth game was with Twin City We won without a doubt, the score was 4 to 0, It was our second shutout. The non-league tilt that we played next Was with Whidbey's Langley High. A score of six to two, broke our winning streak (We should have taken our bye.) Darrington lost to us again, in the seventh game that we played, Two runs they had to their credit, five is what we made. Everett Seconds again (once wasn't enough) They probably thought they could win. At the end they had three but we had three more. You can see how wrong they had been. Then Langley came over to play us at home, And we evened the score a bit, Langley had two, Lake had four (Lund helped with his three base hit) The last game of the year was with Granite Falls, We finished the season with a spree, While Lake collected fifteen runs, Granite Falls only got three. We placed first in the league in '47 And lost but one game all year Such was the team of Lake Stevens High now anw . . . that is all, I fear. 28
