Pitcher Chopper Souder declared, “We just have to be more focused on our non-conference games. We are capable of much more!” The Conference opened Saturday with home games being on Saturday and Sunday. The men swept the 3 game series from the visiting Virginia Interment Cobras 3-1,2-0 and by the third game the cobras had no more venom for a 7-2 Cavalier victory. “With a season high 11 strike-outs in game 1, Shane Hatcher started it off by toss- , ing an 8 hitter. In game 2, Chris Robertson was 3x6 and got the key hit that fueled a 6 run inning. Robertson doubled and stole third. When Daryl Bryant hit a sacrifice fly, Robertson scored. Jamie Jessee pitched a 2 hit shutout, stifling any hopes for the cobras strike back. The third conference game was a vic tory, but began with a tinge of excitement. The Cavalier’s were down in the beginning, but battled back to stop the cobras. Rusty Fleshman’s big 2 out single that drove in Mitch Glenn turned the tide. “Rusty’s hit was the key. It was good to see one of “my” boys come through.” Jay Johnson stated, “It was good to get off to a good start in the Confer ence. Hopefully this will get us on a major roll.” glish Education program must take this class. There are several different profes sors teaching sections of this course: Rich Gray, John Chesky, Tisa Lewis, Bonnie Lundblad, and Gary Van Brocklin.

Spring Break Approaches Briggs Organizes Sabbatical to Outer Banks by Queen Musengwa Montreat students are looking for ward to Spring Break. The break starts af ter the last class tomorrow, and classes will resume on Monday morning March 18. Students are enthused with the fact that they will have opportunities to par ticipate in different events with their friends. Secretary\Treasure of SGA Hunt Briggs explains his break recess, “I have arranged a week-long sabbatical on the re laxing outer banks of North Carolina for myself and several of my dearest compan ions. In addition to the current Montreat students that will be attending, former stu dent Jed Popek will be present. Upon ar riving at our peaceful destination, we plan to stay indoors and read in a tireless effort to further ourselves academically.” There are other students who are headed home to take care and enjoy the presence of their elders. “I am going to be my 81 year old granny’s companion. I will drive her around Florence, SC to every place that sells curlers that she has been looking for. These curlers are extinct be cause they are from the 1940s. So for Spring Break I am going on a wild goose chase for curls,” whispered freshman, Emily Willis. However, students who are involved in Celebration will not have the opportu nity to go home or relax with friends be cause they will be perfonning at different churches. Celebration member, Won-Sang Cho admitted, “ I am going to stay her in Montreat, because we have three perfor mances for Celebration. I wish I could go home but I have no choice, it is my duty to perform for the ichool and to please God.” There are other unavoidable situa tions that need time and effort to be well done. The Director of Technical Crew for the Spring mainstage Jamie King explained, “I am going to finish building and painting the set for the spring mainstage. It will be a relief to get it done without the pressure of classes and homework.” Howerton resident Chris Walkup will be taking off camping in the woods with several friends. “We plan to be gone the whole week and get wild and crazy,” con cluded Walkup.
