B. Snow, Dave Price, Bill Mangus, and Ru- ben Terry. Of course, these will receive sup- port from the new recruits. Pitching is the most outstanding asset of this year's team. Veterans Andy Good and David Brammer, along with Dave Price and Eddie Scruggs take care of the mound chores. Likewise, in the batting department we have many sluggers contending for top honors. This year's coach is Leonard Mosser. In the fall he coached freshmen football and this winter, junior varsity basketball, both of which had successful seasons.

Our high hopes rest upon four or five key men. Among these are Johnny Ed- wards, who set the City-County pole vault record at l3 feet, Jim Spiggle, also a speedy sprinter, Paul Forth, who ran a 4:37 mile and tied for first place in the City-Coun- ty meet last year, and Jimmy Nolan, who did well in his sophomore year at Fishburn Mili- tary Academy. g Ot course we are looking for much assist- ance from many other hardworking thinclads from all four grades here at Patrick Henry. Furthermore, we expect many of the bigger boys to participate both in the shot put and discus throwing, an important part of any track team. 9 i L... i- 2 .4 in - H? ii- - Q ij-gil? -A We , ' ' Y V M V K H in A ngife in ii if it M ' H iss' E255 l ,,.- ii' ii ll liiiiibfe' il, ii y,il',Q,i il ll M i .-fi, rim i ,W .if v ii ii ii ii' gfgiiyif we 1 1 T eirggiiggg i i H ' mfs i , As, W i l is D XR .. .

TENNIS The first Patrick Henry tennis team prom- ises to be one of the best that has ever been in the city-county area. Six lettermen at Jeff- erson last year, are eligible for action with the Patriots this year. There are also many new prospects who have enough potential to develop into fine players. David Burrows and Bobby Cooper, head the list of returning lettermen. Burrows was in the number one position last year, while Coop- er held down the number two spot. The other lettermen are Ed White, Preston Thomas and George Howell. Plenty of help is expected from new comers Ronnie Way, Eric Heiner and Horace Thomas. Field Promising Teams GOLF This is a promising year for our new golf team, with three senior returning lettermen. These are Roy Smith, Steve Hazelwood, and SkiprKerns. Many other players are also hop- ing for a berth on the i962 team. Dickie Reid and John Kyle, both juniors who played well at other schools last year, are among the like- ly prospects. It must be noted that Patrick Henry has one ofthe few golf teams in South- west Virginia. Therefore, we have a wide- spread schedule. Coaching the golfers is Chuck Stephens, offensive line coach for the football team and formerly a star center at Virginia Tech. . -'nits'-as- -Z4 , . .Q .Q ' 't Prospective Members of the Tennis Team are, Bobby Cooper, Eric Heiner, Rusty Richardson, Ronnie Way, and Ed White.
