number-one member of the golf team. The outlook for l966 spring sports season at Patrick Henry was a little uncertain. Tennis and golf, two at the season's most successful teams last year, were hard hit by graduation, while the baseball team retained a fine nucleus to build on a poor showing of the previous year. The state's top-ranked player, Jack Burrows, will be returning to the tennis team, along with an- other ranking player, David Tur- ner. Golf will find seniors Billy Nash, Jimmy Bowden and Dick Kessler leading this year's team. Ten lettermen will spearhead the baseball team. David Ward, a contender for all-district honors, Bobby Blane and Bruce Mann, out- standing tor the double-play, Bob Bushkar, city-county leading hitter last season, and Phil Bushkar will all be busy on the diamond. It Coach Lucas can come up with a balanced pitching staff, the base- ball team will prove to be a real threat. David Ward, mainstay of the baseball team. 51 Jack Burrows, tennis Y Wx.

PH POWDER PUFFS SCORE AGAIN Screams of excitement are heard echoing through the gym as the Powder Puffs of P.H. score again. Many girls were active in sports this year, and good sports- manship was displayed in both defeat and victory. The J.V. Volleyball Team were City Champs. The Varsity also en- joyed a fine season. With the swirl of bright purple jumpers, the girls' basketball sea- son started with a bang. Exception- al team effort and skill led them to hard fought victories. Gymnastics played an important role this year as we were host for the state tournament. Tennis and softball teams were well represent- ed with numerous wins. Combining the will to win and fine team effort, P.H. was known for the fair play and enthusiasm of a fine group of girls. l.
