Eighth, Ninth Basketball Team Displays Power Thirteen wins and only five losses marked the season for the defensive minded Warwick eighth and ninth grade basketball team. Coached by Jerry Turley, the team practiced hard to shape up their squad for the demanding schedule. This stress on team- work and hustle, with just enough sparkling determination to win, paid off in well-earned and doubly appreciated victories over New- port News tw ' ice, and Ferguson three times. The sharp shooting of Bobby Gore, Mike Plott, and Sammy Mayo along with the consistently accurate pogo-stick” rebounding of Tack Howard and Mike Klarer proved to be the deciding factors in the Farmer eighth-ninth grade decisions. One of their best games was against Tefferson Davis. Combining both a determined de- fense and a booming offense the little Farmers made a big effort, but were forced to a defeat by the slim margin of 41-39.

Speed, Defense Form Keys To JV Baseball Victories In practice Ray Smith shows Mike Judkins the consequences of an unsuc- cessful squeeze play. Strength, speed, hitting power, pitching prowess, and determina- tion were only a few of the adjectives used to describe the J.V. Baseball team this year. Their efforts resulted in a fine winning season with talented displays from pitcher David Hickman, slugger Ray Smith, and speedy Mike Judkins. Coached by Jeff Applegate and blessed by the return of eight of last year’s first nine, the J.V. team couldn’t lose. Among the re- turning were pitchers, David Hickman, Billy Hurst, and Haden Gregg, who posted records of 7-0, 4-0, and 4-1, respectively, for the previous season. Also strong returning players were infielders Mike Judkins, John Steinback, and Wayne Javins, while outfielder Doug Wrenn, and catcher Ray Smith more than performed their duties. According to most of the boys, speed and defense were the team’s two strong points. With Mike Judkins and John Steinback burning the bases, the opposition had their hands full when local J.V. teams from Ferguson, Newport News, and Hampton were chal- lenged. Hitting also played an important role in J.V. strategy as team members Ray Smith, batting .400 last year, Judkins, Steinback, Javins, and Wrenn knocked holes in their rivals’ defense. High hopes were held that Warwick’s J.V. with their strong array of talent would better their 15-1 record of ’64 in the hopeful ’65 season. Members of the J.V. Baseball team are: Row 1: Jack Howard, Ray Smith, Norman Hamilton, Greg Shenell, Bobby Gore, Mike Plott, Mike Judkins. Row 2: Wayne Javins, Carroll Creasmen, Robert Pellitier, David Hickman, Douglas Wrenn, Billy Hurst, John Stainback, and Coach Applegate. 183

Little Sisters Boost Jay-Vee Teams With Spirited Cheers No, no, no! It’s de-ce-meenie!” One might wonder, how in the world this word” could have any connection with the ’64-’65 Junior Varsity Cheering Squad. With the many and varied cheers introduced to the student body this year, anything was to be expected ! Along with actual cheering ability, the five juniors and four sophomores who composed the squad had to be bilingual in order to fulfill their cheering duties. Probably the greatest honor given to these enthusiastic pepsters was that of cheering for Warwick’s undefeated J.V. football team, and the little Farmers’ ” basketball team who also displayed great promise, ending the season with an impressive scoreboard. Throughout both seasons, the peppy junior cheerers could be seen proudly yelling and jumping with a fine display of maroon, gold, and white. Each girl did her share (and sometimes more!) to arouse the spectators’ support for their team. Many new cheers and dances were added to the collection of old Farmer” yells by this vibrant group. Miss Harriet Petty, a former WHS cheerleader herself, sponsored the girls and added much to their knowledge and enjoyment in the field of lung-burst- ing and ankle-breaking (that’s cheerleading!). Without a doubt, this rope-jumping, gay squad of cheerers ful- filled their job and left an indelible mark on Warwick High School. Oops, wrong way !” Smiling J.V. pepsters for ’64-’6 5 were: Bottom Row : l-r: Karen Clark, Judy Prizio, co-captain, Jeannie Albertson. Back Row l-r : Sandy Paine, Elizabeth Fife, Sandi Bryant, Holly Vose, co-captain. Middle right: Sandy P. and Sandi B.: Yabba Dabba Doo! Bottom right: Out of the mouths of Babes?
