Baseball Squad For a number of years in the earlier history of the school, there were no inter-scholastic contests at Stephens City High School. In 1939, a baseball team was organized and entered in the Clarke-Fred- erick County League. The first three seasons of organized inter-scholastic play were very successful as the team placed second in the League all three years. The fourth year saw the Stephens City nine do even better by win- ning the League championship to get one leg on the trophy which had to be won two years in succession before it could be permanently retained by any team. In 1944 the Stephens City Team lost its chance at permanent posses- sion of the trophy when the Middletown team nosed them out in a hard- fought game for the championship. This put Stephens City second place in the League. 1946 saw Stephens City next to the bottom in the League, but in '47 the Chiefs were on top again and, at the close of the season were entitled to play in a contest with the All-Stars, a team composed of outstand- ing players selected from the League contestants. 'The '48 and '49 seasons were not too successful as the team placed fourth in '48 and on the bottom in '49, Prospects for this spring are good since the larger proportion of the old members of the squad are back and should bring the Stephens City High School rating up near the top again.
