Anderson and son, Mr. Ormand Williams, and Miss Louise McClure. Mr. Woods was the guest speaker. A nice gift was presented to Mr. Anderson for his splendid work in coaching the teams. After the banquet supper they were guests of Mr. Jonas Chandler Jr. at the Imperial Theatre. The movie Every Girl Should Be Married was enjoyed by everyone. After the movie everyone returned to dear old Walnut High safely. BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL Several years ago the present year squad started playing baseball. With an awkward and clumsy attempt. The squad was inexperienced, but as the years went by the boys got a little more experienced by playing in the Madison County League during the summer vacation of 1948. Q They extablished a very good record in the League and also in High School and are expected to go unbeaten during the coming High School season. Who knows but what Walnut High School baseball players will gain great fame, and a name, in the roster of some great ball team in the Big League in the near future? ' - V During the season of '47 and '48, under the coaching of the able Miss Louise ' McClure, the Walnut girls had their first softball team in several years. Only two games were played during the season because not many of the schools in the county had softball teams. Both games were with Spring Creek, with Spring Creek winning both. We expect a better season this year.
