,M ,rs an by xi., STUDENT MANAGERS BACK ROW: R. Shietze, D. Rea, D. Bowers FRONT ROW: J. Opincar, T. Lipinski, J. Hobson The boys pictured above are the ones, above all others, who deserve a word of recognition. For they are the ones who get most of the gripes, try to supply all d e sire s and needs, add words of encouragement, and take c are of equipment. They are the student managers. To be the first ones to arrive and the last ones to le ave is only one of the requirements. It's a tough job, but very, very rewarding. The summer baseball program was handled by David Rea, while in football, Roger Shietze, Tom Lipinski, and John Opincar we re the managers. In basketball, there were two managers for the varsity and reserves team, D avid Rea and Tom Lipinski. Freshman and eighth grade basketball were handled by Dennis Bowers and John Hobson, respectively. 5U 4 I ,Q ir! ' ,fy 12 X , . -4,5-.lf .-. tj f K cel

If the record of this year's eighth grade teams is any indication of what is to come for Western athletic s , then sports fans of this area should not worry too much, for both the baseball and basketball te ams ended the season with excellent records. The eighth grade baseball team was the county champ this year and ended the season with a 6-O record. Leonard Lorentson was the pitcher for the team. With Mr. Huffman as coach, the basketball team also compiled a very good record. They were defeated in only two game s during the year and they avenged both of these defeats. As well as compiling a good record, the team also gained valuable experience. The highlights of their season came February 22, when they became champions of a tourney held at N o rthwe s t e r n High School, by defeating both Eastern and Howard eighth grade teams. We are certainly proud of these boys. BACK ROW: J. Hobson, mgr.g G. Sipes, L. Lorent son, B . Martin, B . Bogue, J. Rayls, G. Colby, F. Huffman, Coach. FRONT ROW: B. Oakley, P. Fernung, C.

P R I E W 1958-1959 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE As we come to the end of the sports section and of the yearbook, a glimpse into next year's p ro s p e ct s and schedule for athletics at Western s e em s only fitting. In all s po rt s , an abundance of letterrnen, and rn any with varsity experience, emphasize a brightening future. As the Echo goes to press, definite plans for baseball have not been made so its schedule is omitted. However, football and basketball schedules are definite and a good season for both appears evident. Football, in its third season at Western and s e cond varsity season should become much stronger. And the six returning letter- men in b a s ke tb all will definitely help the Panthers toward a better record. Perhaps if everyone follows the motto below, Western' s chances will be better than ever! W illingness 1 nterest N ever-say-die attitude S pirit Sept. l Sept. 6 Sept. 12 Sept. 20 Sept.
