Q 9, Ffwslumew The Frosh team is probably the hardest team to do anything with as they have a completely new squad every year. This year's team, coached by Mr. Harvel Pollard, has a 5-l record at press time and iust starting in league competition is boosted by hitters like Ray Rooney, Richard Limi, and Dale Gieg. This is the only squad that has played against teams in the big league before South was a four year plant, but they have done well each year. W , . . Here, two players are watching the ball very closely during the Frosh-Jr. Varsity scrimmage. 1 .. 5 , 'i 7' 1 1' 1. 4 ,Ad
