Varsity Baseball Faces Promising Spring How will the Wilbur Warrior Baseball team turn out? Will we be defeated or undefeated? Will we be city champs or city chumps ? Will we be overwhelming or will we be the Houston Cavaliers of SPAL? These questions can only be answered by time. The Warriors got off to a good start by beating San Carlos, in what turned out to be a pitching duel, by a score of 3-2. Our second was met by cries of dismay and disbelief as we upset the Cubberley JV's 9-6. Our future looks promising as this years staff is stocked with such aces as Glenn Lawrence, Karl Yorston, Joe Mariscal, Chris Davis, and Gary Bones Lambson, Larry Beyer is back this year directing business from behind the plate, and first base is anchored down by Kevin Keplinger and Tim Sandborn. The defense is impregnable with such gloved gluttons as Jon George, Rich Atchison, Bob Gardiner, and Scot Lee. The outfield is covered by Kevin Holcomb, Mike Dean, and Howie Small, so base hits will be few and far between. When and if our infield falters it can be rapidly reinstituted with such versatile players as Chris Davis, Bruce Edwards, and Greg Oswald. The team is coached by one of the game's finest. This quiet, humble leader is Mr. Norman Airoldi, known to his players, managers, and personnel as Leo, But when the dust rises and the competition grows you may come and watch as the Wilbur Warriors present their own version of the Big Red Machine.

Football Cheer and Songleaders Lead a Good Year The Football Cheer and Songleaders have raised a lot of spirit and crowds at both the away and home games. Dr. Koolen said this year's Cheer and Songleaders have raised more spirit this year than any other year Wilbur has had, Every game they provided oranges at half-time for the players, and after the game they gave food and drinks. Not only did they raise spirit for the students and faculty but also for the team members. They stayed up late the night before the Terman game to encourage team spirit. The best pep rally of the year was during spirit Week, when the cheer and songleaders convinced some of the players to dress up as girls and lead cheers. Head cheerleader was Barbara Winchester and Head Songleader was Liz Greider. The other cheerleaders were Paula Taylor, Viki Saper, Debbie Moore and Paige Herzon. The other songleaders were Joyce Chang, Carolyn Mallory, Cathy Martin, and Jackie Bryan. Julie Parker was spirit girl and the mascot was Linda Morales. Right: Debbie Moore and Julie Parker running to congratulate the team.
