For the Spartans, any season is a victorious one if they manage to Beat the Barons V' This they did successfully early in the year, consid- erably heightening school spirit at Walter Johnson. Spectators viewed many exciting games as our Varsity pulled upsets over suburban Maryland's top teams. Although the Spartan cagers did not take the Bi-County League title this season, they' played good basketball, acting the role of spoilers. The Var- sity squad Won games which cost other teams their Bi-County standing. With several returning boys on the Varsity added to those now playing on the Junior Varsity, WJ should be tough competition next year.

To keep in training, the boys practice from summer on, until opposing team members are available as re- placements for the stuffed bags. In addition to gaining satisfaction from Winning, the players acquire experience in playing football, de- velop a sportsmanlike spirit, and increase their chances of making Varsity the next year.

Steve Nelson and Buddy Borror Bob Wootton Steve Nelson JV LEAGUE CHAMPS JV RECORD Few of the several junior varsity basketball squads who found themselves on the opposite side of the court facing the Walter Johnson JV team quite expected what was going to happen. The WJ squad, lacking members of exceptional height, succeeded in catching the opposing team off guard. When play started, it soon became evident that the missing height was compensated by speed and accuracy, with an accent on catching the re- bounds. The superior playing and teamwork were obvious when, at the end of the season, the record showed an undefeated season in the Bi-County League and only one loss in the total number of games played.
