The Softball team had a middle of the road season. Out of six games they won 3 and lost 3. Co-Captains for the year were Seniors Louise Clinton and Charleen Baylor. The biggest win of the season came in the last inning of the Lee-Davis game. One of the better qualities of the team was their sportsmanship. 23

Many people take a football game for granted. At PH the work starts ahead of time and doesn ' t end with the fourth period buzzer. The practice sessions start in August, way ahead of school and keep going until the last game. Also the cheerleaders, band, lettergirls, and majorettes keep busy practicing routines. Each home game Coach Ritchie limes the field while the Key Club gets the Concession stand ready and the Pep Club marks off the stands for the roaring crowd expected to cheer the team on to victory. During the game the FFA Boys have the tedious job of directing traffic and the Girl ' s Varsity Club sells programs. After the game Mr. and Mrs. Durham faithfully count the money from the gate and a few dedicated Key Clubbers find the night ' s take in from their stand. All put together make the PH games a true exhibit of professional entertainment. 25
