During the year of 1939, Mrs. Switzer as Coach of the girls' baseball team, had a very good year. They overshadowed their opponents with 154 runs to their 42; 14 home runs to 1; and had the comparatively few strike outs of 18 to their opponents 36. Kathryn Ward, Jeanette Petersen, Lorna Hunsicker, and Helena Fitzner were the outstanding players. The team usually lined up as follows: catcher. Hazel Sherman; pitcher, Lorna Hun- sicker; first base, Jeanette Petersen; second base, Kathryn Ward; third base, Erma Kappe; shortstops, Margaret Manley and Reta Rasmus- sen; fielders, Helena Fitzner, Pearl Welsh and Geneveive Nielsen.

Lakeview High was well represented last Spring in the great American game of baseball. After a slow start, the team got into stride for the County games and managed to win a three way tie for County Championship with Stanton and Carson City. Lack of time and the end of the school year made it impossible to play off the tie. However we are now the possessors of a beautiful trophy. The first three games were lost to opponents because of better team play by our opposition. However, the last five games proved our ability to be classed as a championship team. With the majority of last years team back this spring, Lakeview has high hopes to be the lone champions this year.

With the opening of the new school year, Lakeview's football team faced the hardest schedule ever undertaken by a Class C school. The schedule included two Class A schools, a Class B , and five Class C's . Against such competition we did not expect to win too many games, but as much enjoyment and spirit of fair play can be gained from defeat as from victory. Lakeview had a large number of re- cruits out for the team but size and lack of experienced players was a big handicap. Because of the bus system the practice time has been reduced which hurt the playing effic- iency. This problem will be solved in another year. The future looks brighter along the football line and great hopes are held forth for next year.
