BASEBALL Our baseball team had great success this year by winning the M.V.L. baseball championship. One thing that contributed to the success of the team was the new field on which we played. Also there was the fact that some of the boys were able to play baseball all summer by playing in Bloomington through the Ameri- can Legion. The most important contribution was the fine coaching job that was done, for without a coach there would be no team at all. Our record for the season was 6 wins and l loss. Listed below are the batting averages of the players which are very good.

This helped to give the team more spirit. We would like to thank the fans who turned out for the games. We were glad to see such a turn out for baseball, the sport which has been the underdog in past years at M.C.H.S. We would like to wish the team of 55-56 better success than the team of 54. Bring home that first place trophy again next year! 37
