The 1959 edition of the MCHS track team, under the direction of Coach McEvers and assistant Coaches Lockwood and Figg, began working out early in February. Conditioning exercises came first and then each boy practiced diligently on the event of hischoice. Some chose the running events, others the hurdles, pole vaulting or shot put events. No matter which skill was decided upon each team member prepared himself for endurance, strength, stamina, and coordi- nation. Although a track meet consists of individual skills, the entire team ioined together with enthusi- asm and earnest desires to win to make the season a rewarding one.

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.
