Baseball
The only years listed in the MHS yearbooks that we have copies of that show MHS participating in baseball are from 1938 – 1942, 1946, and again from 1956 – 1961. It is stated in the 1941 yearbook that MHS had only two games, both against Hooppole, because the other Little Four schools, Atkinson and Annawan, dropped baseball for football. Below are the listed records for the baseball teams with the information as printed in the yearbooks. The year listed would be for the fall of that year (for example “1938” is actually the 1938 – 39 school year). A short write up in the 1941 high school yearbook states that Morris Foes had a batting average of .750! We are also told that Herbert Gingrich (Class of 1942) was offered a tryout with the Chciago Cubs!
As you can see, the MHS kids were a multi-talented bunch!
