BASEBALL R. C. H. S. baseball team won 1939 Noble County baseball Co-Cham- pionship, sharing honors with K ' ville. The following are short histories of each player. Cliff Asher, Senior, led the team to victory by pitching very fast and consistent ball. This was Cliff ' s first year of pitching. However, he sure had a lot on the ball. Dick Chapman, Sophomore, did the receiving for Asher. He acquired the name of Power-House because he was so full of pep. Chapman, although small, proved to be a very good catcher. Mike Schermerhorn, Junior, was the star first baseman. Big Mike as he was called kept the Romans on the march to victory by his hard hitting and his ability to play 1st base. Neil Masters, Senior, guarded 2nd base. Rusty , as he was called, was a very fast and an accurate player. He also could hit the ball out of the lot. Dick Potee, Junior, small but mighty , played short stop. Dick was lead off man for the Romans and proved himself to be one of the fastest and cleverest ball handlers on the team. Mark Munk, Senior, better known as the Mad Munk , played third baseman and was a consistent batter. He played the best ball when his girl was watching him. Don LeMaster, Senior, did his share of good work in left field. This was Don ' s first year, and he showed himself to be a very able player. Bob Fleck, Sophomore, better known as Red , won his spurs by chas- ing and pulling down flies in center field. Red was also a good batter. Bob Galland, Senior, was chief of staff in right field. Four Quarts , as he was called, has long legs with which he could cover more territory in a minute than most people can in an hour. Page thirty-one

Their best yell is probably the Big Apple which is used when our mighty five are needing a little en- couragement to help boost their spirits. These two Sophomore girls have two more years in which to help carry the Roman ' s colors to victory. Page thirty-two
