Baseball is perhaps the rnost popular of the spring sports, and with just cause, for Pied Lion players have long been York County Scholastic Baseball and Southern Division champs. Such an astound- ing record is a tribute to Bed Lion, and the boys who accomplished these feats have reason to be proud. This year they received no trophy, but they gained the companionship that comes from working together toward the same goal. Early in snowy March the fellows started practice under the guiding hand of Mr, Fitzkee. For consistent wins, practice is a must, and he was always willing to see that his boys got enough of it. Their record of six wins, four losses, and one draw was very commend- able since practically all positions were filled with newcomers! 21 The first few warm days of spring find John Pitzer dressed and raring to take a swing at anything resembling a ball. iweier 9 -sa i..a41 J.:'i '.k. , .

No, it's Sheldon Markel going over the bar at one of the track teamls meets. Sheldon is one of our promising young pole vaulters. iv- Q In ,pg ' . Y Every evening after school, commencing February 26, twenty-nine track enthusiasts could be seen undergoing rigorous calisthenics at the skillful hand of Coach Richards. Much to the squad's disappoint- ment, however, the new track could not be used due to poor drainage. Although the squad split the meets evenly with three wins and three losses, many new records were set: Phil Gladfelter, a new county 220 record, lowering the old time of 22.7 to 22,43 Ierre Golden, a new school record of lO'3 in the pole vault, and the 880 relay team, Z1 new school record of l:35.9, lowering the old record of 138.6 by 2.7 seconds. An interesting side note is the fact that eight of these boys were able to main- tain positions on the honor roll throughout the season.
