Kollmeyer I A Pitch For Nick Being a versatile athlete, Nick plays shortstop and pitcher. Who would sit all by himself, in a small beach chair, in the team room, with a Hawaiian hat on, a corn cob pipe in his mouth, spitting tobacco chew into an empty potato chip bag? There could be only one person doing this . . . Nick Alcorta. You might say I'm unique. Like most all of us, he likes to get away every once in a while. He thinks ll OU might say I'm unique. and tries to find himself. I haven't done it yet, he added. I'Ie's a little different, said Coach Bob lmlay, but Nick adds spark to the team. Alcorta tried to take over as leader this year. At shortstop I feel responsible and involved, and at pitch- er I get to experience leadership. Al- corta has become a fine ballplayer with a competitive streak and a wealth of talent. I like the competition but I en- joy the people most of all. Varsity Basketball 121

I guess I practically idolized her . . . Olga Korbit . . . she's the one that start- ed it all for me, said Denise Boiselle. 'iMiss Korbit was so graceful. After watching her several times on televi- sion, I knew that I wanted to be just like her. At the age of nine, Denise became interested in gymnastics. After watch- ing several shows with Olga Korbit as the star gymnast, Denise went to her parents and begged to be put in a gym- nastics class. From the very beginning it just seemed so automatic. It seemed very naturalf, said Denise. At the age of 10, only one month into her lessons, Den- iseis coach entered her in a competi- tion. I still remember crying, I was so happy, said Denise. Three years passed, Denise moved from class three, to class one. At the age of 13, she was bringing home first place medals. She brought home many through the years, including several from tournaments at Patrick Henry. Denise said, It was just all so automat- ic. Gymnastics 123
