First. thc prolrlem of find- ing an adviser lwho licgan officially in the second se- mesterl: second, training stall menllmers in finances. layout, photography, etc.. as the project developed: and third, the prolnlem ol' getting the project set up in time. And so. ol' necessity-W there will he some mis- takes, some omissions, perhaps unliorgivalrle ones. Ex- perience has come as a result ol' diligence and hard work, the ominous shadow ol' ignorance has slowly disappeared and the relatively quiet emluryonic stages which evolved into the stress and strain of the adoles- cent period finally lmecame ol' age in this volume. An exhilerated erew, too weary now to shout . . . having had emotions purged all along the gamut hy unrelenting demands, lets forth long suspirations . . . of inward glee, of personal satisfaction, of achieve- Illfillt.

Bmeball At this writing the Thunderbird baseball team is resting in second place in the Big Eight Conference, with a chance for Conference championship. Dave Regallie and .lesse Washington had been the team's big guns. Regallie had won eight games while losing only two and Washington was hitting well over the .300 mark W -h' '1 s ' as lIlgl0ll was an All-OAL player. Behind the plate the T-Birds had Phil Bouthillier and .lesse Murdock. Bouthil- lier played with Oakland last season and Murdock with Humboldt. A li ' f - - t rst base was veteran Bob Gayou who was hitting .300, and one of the team's leaders in runs batted in. Second base was manned by the reliable Percy Harris who was one of last yearis League standouts at shortstop. Percy was the leadoff batter and was largely re- sponsible for keeping the Thunderbirds in the running for the title. Don Louie filled the shortstop position very well. He came from Tech High where he was also an All-OAL selection. Rounding out the starting infield was veteran George Dunphy, a mainstay for the past two seasons. Dunphy was the team leader in bases on balls. The outfield was manned by Washington, Walt King, ex-star from McClymonds, and Harv Hanson from Castlemont.
