The presentation was honoring Coach 'slast year as baseball coach and was also thanking him for his leadership and devotion to the Rams for the last years when they captured the Regional and Bi- district titles. I A Ernest Valdez played second base this year for the if U' ' Rams' team. Ernie showed that he was quite worthy ' of being on the team by his speed and ability to reach A yt 3 home plate from second base. Ernie will possibly 'sf change to the position of shortstop next year to fill a A 5' 2 f vacancy caused by a graduation. He had the third -fy Qqh f75,,Q highest batting average this year. - 9 I , iii' Wayne Benke played left field first base and in a few cases he was called upon to pitch This was his Junior year it was his best year for th Rams team and naturally bil' thinvs are expected of him next year His experience should pay off Wayne had the ambition and love for abaseballgame that it took to make a good ball player He had speed as well as -o ability this combination made hima Good all round player W yne playedthe gameshard he put his team first in mind and made personal sacrifices for the benefit of the team M hord season James Dressen became one ofthe brightest hopes tor 's1or'hs1des future baseballteams This was Chuck s second year on the team he has two remaining years Chuck s quick thinkinv helped the Rams team out of sex eral tight spots Not only did his catching excel but My also his hitting Chuck is probably the finest catcher ie- that Nlorthside has ever produced Many of the coache ot :M omosinv teams quickly learned of Chuck s eaoabilities ' they think hi rhly of him and his excellent work do the students of Nlorthside fr!
