Jim, 1937 09' BASEBALL ' After a lapse of one year, baseball has again taken its place as one of our spring sports. At the request of the boys, meetings were held under the supervision of Mr. Strine to decide whether or not the sport would be reinstated. The decision was a favorable one, and the boys sponsored a Bring BackiBaseball'i campaign. They gave a movie benefit in school which was wholeheartedly supported by the pupils. The proceeds obtained enabled them to buy the necessary equipment for their team. A large squad has turned out for practices, and games are being scheduled with nearby schools. The return of baseball has been received with much enthusiasm in the high school. The student body hopes that the boys and their coach, Mr. Strine, will have an enjoyable season. GOLF ' The third season for a golf team has again started in Upper Merion. Last year's squad had an impressive record, winning the Section Two of the Subur- ban C-olf League. Frank Katrina, a i936 senior, qualified in the Philadelphia District lnterscholastic C-olf Tournament. ln the Pennsylvania lnterscholastic Athletic Association Tournament at State College, Paul Vasily was selected as a member of the Philadelphia Suburban Team and Mr. Raub was appointed coach. The golf team is again playing in the Suburban League this spring, and their schedule includes matches with the following schools: Glen Nor, Darby, Chester, Nether Providence, Clifton and Sharon Hill. The team has won its first two matches, which indicates that the boys are on their way to another successful season. Matches with two non-league opponents, Phoenixville and Bridgeport, have also been arranged. - Mr. Raub is again the coach of the i937 golf team and the players are: Dennis Coltart, Pete Conti, Leonard Mantell, Edward Coyle, Martin Yurick, Walter Wodenka, Robert Newhouse and Jack Eastwood. n TENNIS ' Although tennis has been one of the activities of our Physical Education program for several years, it was not until two years ago that it became a varsity sport. As many of the team members were just learning the game, only a few matches were scheduled with other schools. The boys improved rapidly throughout the seasons, and won several of these matches with their neigh- boring rivals. Stanley Kopacz, Edward Osinski and Willis Orner are the players re- maining from last.year's squad. The other candidates again are inexperi- enced players. Matches are to be scheduled for later in the season, and it is hoped that tennis will continue to become more popular as a spring sport in Upper Merion. E623
