Springtime. A time when flowers bloom and trees turn green. A time when students start looking forward to their summer vacation. But before summer vacation finally rolled around, many activities took place. The varsity baseball team ' s attempt to take the conference championship was finally halted in their final game and they ended their season in a tie for second place with the East Leyden Eagles. While other sports teams fought to be at the top of their division, they all finished their season respectably. Other activities also were also active this spring. Two excellent productions were put on by the drama and music departments. The first outdoor play was produced in the school ' s inner court, Shake- speare ' s Twelfth Night. Hello, Dolly, the musical was again a success, along with the annual outdoor concert. You Make Me Feel Brand New was the theme of the prom. Students danced all night to the music provided by Cook County Express. The final scene of the spring was graduation. Mixed with tears and emotions, the Class of 1978 filed out for the last time as students of West Leyden. A lot more things happen in the spring than just flowers blooming and the sun shining. With all of these things happening, it ' s no wonder that springtime quickly passes and sum- mer vacation begins. Blooming trees and the return of bikes to the front of the school all signal the return of spring at West Leyden. Students find themselves looking forward to summer.

League runners up Another successful season in baseball carried the varsity team to a second place in Des Plaines Valley League standings, with a conference record of 10 and 6. Pleased with the outcome of the season Coaches Fred Schmidt and Don Lukas are looking forward to a possible conference championship in the future. Captain of the 78 team, Mark Walberg, was chosen most valuable player. His pitching and switch- hitting also earned him title of All-conference. In addition, Walberg was the only nominee to the All-state team, with his batting average storming .534. The team also had the help of All-conference players Alex Formarelli and Joe Mistrata, who is a returning senior with hopes of becoming sectional qualifier. Coach Joe Sisco was proud to guide the sophomore team to a record of fifteen wins and two losses, the most games won by any so- phomore baseball team in the school ' s history. The team ' s success is attributed to an average of .333 as a team. The pitching and hitting of team captain Pete Krueger helped insure the success of the season, later moving him up to a position on the varsity team. Keeping up the Knight baseball spirit the Freshman team finished with a 10-6 season. The team had an excellent attitude and refused to give up , commented Coach Kolze.
