'qw Netters Cover Courts With Power And Speed TENNIS TEAM Early in the spring tennis team members began inside drills on various tennis techniques. The boys' gym echoed the sound of tennis balls bouncing a- gainst the walls as the tennis players practiced their racket strokes. Later the outside courts became practice ground for the team members and they concentrated on foot work and tested their coordination. Coach Olds guided his team throughout these practice sessions and against competition for a suc- cessful season. ..,....-.ai Expecting to use a backhand stroke, John Buckholz eyes the move his opponent is making. This was in a practice game but to be able to anticipate a stroke is a big part of tennis. Jim Held, tennis hopeful, uses his racquet as an exercise bar to strengthen his shoulders and arms in an early indoor workout before the season begins. Bottom row: Ronald Ace, Victor Gregory, John Buckholz, George Dubbs, Ernie Schneider and Jim Held. Top row: Tony Czarnecki David Sheridan, Ray Bush, Roger Shoup, Gilbert Zook and Mr. Allen Olds, coach. 130

Ballplayers Vie For Places On Starting Nine Gary Hoover takes his stance at the plate and grips his bat in readiness as batting practice begins. Chuch Baarck waits his turn in the on deck circle. In an early inter-squad practice game, Jack Dubay slides safely back into first base in a cloud of dust. Practice games like this sharpened the play of all ballplayers. BASEBALL TEAM Batter up rang across Memorial Stadium as another MCHS baseball season started. During the early season practice Coach Wiggins devoted much of his time developing players to fill the gaps left by last year's seniors. Veteran players and ambitious new comers worked hard conditioning themselves for an outstanding season. They drilled on many baseball techniques such as throwing, batting, sliding, and catching. Each game was filled with thrills and surprises and the team always took the field with the undying determination to put another win on the record books. Bottom row: Dwight Logie, Al Brassel, Noel Smith, Chris Kepus, John Bly, Buck Edwinson, Jim Madaus, Chuck Baarck and Mr. George Wiggins, coach. Second row: Ken Kunkel, Walter Peirce, Eugene McLaughlin, Jack Dubay, Jim Gibbons, Gary Hoover, Tom Hay, Bob Beardslee and Bryan Ellis.
