Third row: Epps Ready, Manager; Vixon Harris, Julian Armstrong, Thurman Bullock, Eddie Lee Wells, Harold Messer, Bobby George, Manager; Coach Cranford Hoyle. Baseball continued to be the most successful sport in Roanoke Rapids High School. Despite the fact that the Yellow Jackets relinquished their two year Northeastern Conference title to the Kinston Red Devils, they finished the season in second place with a neat 11-3 record. For the second consecutive year, Troy Hasty, the Jax strong-arm righthander, was the work-horse of Coach Hoyle ' s mound corp. Along with ' Hasty were William Wheeler, Raymond Edwards, Edward Wright and southpaw Randolph Acree, all of whom saw much service from the hill. Vance Stewart and Walter Myrick pounded the horsehide with ease and completed the season with healthy batting averages. As in the past, the high school fielded a fine baseball team and with many of the experienced players returning, everyone is hoping that they will regain their title next season. The record for the season is as follows: New Bern, 7-0; Washington, 17-5: Elizabeth City, 9-0 and 9-8; Greenville, 16-0; Edenton, 8-5 and 11-6: Kinston, 0-3; Washington, 4-8; Tarboro, 5-0; Green- ville, 7-6; New Bern (Forfeit) 9-0; Kinston, 8-11; Tarboro, 8-1. CHEERLEADERS Sonny Hines, Peggy Kidd, Jewell Mitchell, Neal AUsbrook, Margaret Lou George, Barbai ' a Britton, Ann .Xeiheicutt, Ann Grizzard, Captain; Josephine Ellis, Co-Captain; Joyce Oliver, Johnnie Lynch. Three cheers for that group of students whose chief aim is to keep school spirit high even in defeat. They ' re on hand at each athletic event, leading school yells and songs. Aside from this, the cheerleaders have sponsored pep rallies to try to boost school spirit. These morale builders are truly an asset to our school. Page Sixty-Nine
