As American As Apple Pie Once again the sounds of spring were upon us as bats hit balls and mitts sounded with a painful crack an- nouncing the arrival of baseball. Pitch- ing, hitting, fielding, and throwing were stressed as the Pirates fought their way to the playoffs. Under the direction of coaches Iohn Tuttle and Dave Cappa- lan the team, adorned with new uni- forms, practiced and played aggressive baseball. Speeding along the base line Tim Pasonski ex- udes the determination that makes success. Catching a bouncer was no easy task for Luis Ru- bio. Directing an intense gaze across homeplate, catcher Sean Merriweather, watched the out- field actions and dreamt of the glory that could bc his upon the successful completion of the play Outfielders must be able to catch, stop and return the ball with speed and accuracy, Billy Palmer, seems to have all those skills and a good amount of determination too. The ability to hit all sorts of pitches is acquired only through experience. Kip Allen, someone with that knowledge, was com- pleting a successful swing at what became a fast- ball after being hit. Coming home after a base hit is Brad Iiinchman. Leaping through the air, Joe Vitilanio makes the catch. Making a tremen- dous effort to get to the base before the ball, Sean Merriweather dove into first base. With a last minute attempt, Coach 'iiittle gave his player instructions on holding the bat. Actions speak louder than words, but in this case it's the pirate sign. L..

The Women Behind the Men Managers of a sport are the tying force in many instances, it is their responsibility to care for the team. They attend each practice and often are in sole charge of the miscella- neous activities which must be attended to. All of the teams in the school would not sur- vive for very long with- out their managers. Working as a football manager is a lot of hard work, although laughing and jok- ing, as Sonia Wiseman did, often re- lieved the tension. She was not partici- pating in the Super Bowl, Kim Firment was involved in her job tending the var- sity football palyers. Taking a break dur- ing half-time, Hanna Brown hoped for another victory Managers for the season were Dellrie Humphrey Robin Pounds, lane Freeze, Shelia Davis, Pam Shuler, Kim F irment, Sonia Wiseman, Rumanda Shackelford and Hanna Brown.
