C-orman, Swathwood direct rookie baseball team Despite the sub-.500 season, the NHS baseball team was one of Northwest's strongest. Their 10-11 record belied their potential. Seven games were lost by one run and two games were lost by two runs. The diamondmen handed Marshall their only loss ofthe season. The varsity was led by seniors Mike Gorman, pitcher, and Mike Swathwood, catcher. Swathwood was named all-city catcher, and his .400 batting average paced the team. Gorman shared hurling hon- ors with Scott Collins, senior, and Paul Cummins, sophomore. Their season was even more surprising, considering Gorman and Swathwood were the only return- ing first string players. Seven posi- reserves or tions were filled by new team members. This inex- perience proved a stumbling block during some games, but the underclassmen learned valuable lessons towards next year.

Individual efforts boost - thinclads to new records Perhaps more than any other sport, track is a sport for individ- uals. These individuals must per- form well in their different areas of competition, yet still be mem- bers of a single unit. The 1968 track season saw school records fall to be replaced by new, faster ones. Bill Hicks, sophomore, set the record in the mile with a time of 4:25 minutes. He also went on to become the city-county and sectional champ. Senior Evan Davis blazed into the record books by winning the city-county and sec- ' .,-. tional championships in the 880- yard dash. Other school records fell when Bernie Terhune, senior, soared 13 feet in the pole vault, and Mike Larrison, sophomore, putted the shot 48 feet 41f2 inches to clinch the school record in shot put. Finally, Dan Pfaff, senior, ran the low hurdles in 20.8 seconds and ran the high hurdles in 15.5 seconds to put his name into the books. As a team, Coach Vern McCarty's thinclads placed fifth in the city, and fourth in sectional competition. lom Mihler Mike Tiller , Tvan Davis, and Bill Hicks prove to be an asset to the 67-68 track 1 , Y NHIIH.
