The Editor of the Spotlight is Jane Lueck. YEARBOOK STAFF Editor---------------------- Raymond Bova Literary Chairman---------------- Sally Hart Bertha Heroux Alice Valiquette Bob Kopyc Business Chairman-------------------- Sally Hart Larry Mickel Bill Rueter Bettsy Salisbury Marie Conti Sports Chairman---------------....... Myra Gaston Marie Conti Bob Kopyc Bertha Heroux SPORTS The W.H.S. Cross Country team coached by Prof. Morris lost at Schenectady its first regular meet in two years, due to the fact that several team members had to play at the soccer sectionals. Winning Class C Championship at the Cobleskill Invitational Meet proved that the W.H.S. team had true ability. The Grout Memorial Meet showed W.H.S. 's varsity finishing 11th of 18 schools, theJ.V. fourth of 18 schools. At the sectionals, W.H.S.’s var- sity finished second to New Lebonan and J. V. won Class D. At the State Championship Meet, Gerry Clinton, a freshman, was chosen to represent Class B team for Section II. He finished 63 of 98 running with only one shoe. The team's one great loss was Captain Bob McGarry, a Senior. BASEBALL Manager is Rodger Gillespie. The magnificent coaching was done by Mr. Treworgy. The top players are: Rick McGovern with a 301 batting average. Bob McGarry is the top Defensive player with a 996 fielding average, and Ron Pucci with a 994 fielding average. WINS LOSSES W.H.S. OPP.

Shenendehowa, Lansingburgh, and league champs Watervliet. But double losses toHeatly lowered the Red and White to third place in league standing. The team's greatest honor was being chosen to represent our class in the State Sectionals. We lost to Berlin Central in a close struggle. Individual honors went to Bob McGarry, who scored 12 points to lead the team for the season. Bob Kopyc, the team captain, was picked in the Tri-County, All-Star team for the third straight year. Juniors, Hugh Holton, Ed Dandeneau, and Ralph Smith, represented the school for the first time. J.V.
