Veterans Return to Diamond Coach DeLucca illustrates proper batting technique to var- sity players Richie Kromholz, Kurt Sautter, Bob McFadden, Gerry Giesler, Pete Krumholz, Phil Bassi and John Pape. It is everyoneas hope here in West Babylon that the 1961 baseball season will be the unext year that we have talked about and hoped for so often. The fact that this yearns team will consist of every member from last year's is encouraging, and such veterans as Chuck Ohlmiller, Richie DePuy, Phil Bassi and Gerry Giesler, who are returning from their third season, should help considerably. Coach DeLucca is not letting last year's disappoint- ing record sway his prediction that this will be the yearl' for West Babylon in baseball. The team, last year, finished last in the A-2 League, in which they will compete this year with hopes of bringing a championship to West Babylon. The im- portant base hit or the big fielding play which was so often missing in the past should occur much more often this season with the experience gained by every player from last year. All in all, the Varsity Eagles will prove to be a much more potent ball club and a tough opponent for the powerful teams in Suffolk County.

West Babylon, one of the few high schools on Long Island which can boast of including fencing in its athletic agenda, this year continued fencing on an even larger scale. Mr, Fabre- gas, the originator of fencing at West Babylon, saw his team through a fairly successful sea- son, though they were usually facing much more experienced opponents. Members of this yearls team in- cluded Dan Nagengast, Santi Buscemi, Dave Becker, Gerry Caccavale, Lindhardt Reich, Alan Berry, Linda Werner, Helga Spitko, and Flo Ander- son. Starting the '61 season with a 5-0 victory over West Islip, the intramural bowling team, last yearls League I champs, re- corded wins over Port Jefferson, South Huntington, Northport, and Huntington, losing only to North Babylon and West Islip. New records were set this year as the team compiled an 830 team average, a 915 high team game, and a 2643 high team series. Individual stars have also emerged - Ricky Sawey with a 173 average and a high series of 617 and Charlie Ames with a high game of 242.

Nagengast, Under the guidance of Coach Robert Cary, the var- sity track team made a fine showing in 1960. Led by a crack relay team, the distance running of Len Sears and Jeff F allon, and the work of jim Weita in the discus, West Babylon became well-known in Suffolk meets and was Well-represented in both the league and county Hnals. Although many of last year's standout performers have been lost through graduation, just as many have returned in an effort to continue the fine work started last year. FRONT ROW: W. Crockett, V. Simone, J. Weita, J. Lichtneger, L. Megginson, and F. Johnson. SECOND ROW: L. Sears, J. Gimberlein, P. Goflin, J. Humaninski, P. Smith, M. Smith, F. Hall, and G. Rivera. THIRD easy? 'Q F. Hall, R. Miller, W. Derrow, and Coach DeLucca. Though the cross country team did not often emerge the victor in its meets, it too had its standout per- formers. A fine job done by Kim Fernandez and also by Fred Hall in placing Well in all the meets must be labeled as the highlight for this year's team. Many of this year,s runners will return for next year's cross country team. Coach DeLucca predicts a much more rewarding season for this reason. ROW: E. Steppe, M. Bourque, R. Paltiel, E. Valeo, R.
