COACH TOOHEY OF the freshman Track squad, has described his yearling team as a very good freshman team. Upon making this statement, he went so far as to provide statistics to back him up. Among these, two outstanding marks were noted, 440 yard relay, 48.3 seconds by Dave Nelson, Albert Muse, Bob Savittieri, and Dick Hennessey. Nelson also broke the school freshman record by tooling an impressive 10.7 second TOO yard dash. Also, Fred Ward is a fine high iumper taking three firsts in that event in three meets. THE FROSH SQUAD had 24 boys participating, and were described as strongest in the sprint department. To demonstrate their fine ability, Camelback downed two of its three opponents at Shield press time. Among these, South Mountain was a victim. GLENDALE WAS THE first team on the Spartan schedule, and the Cardinals overwhelmed the Spartan squad 69 3X5-37 2f5. South Mountain was next on the THIS SEASON, THOUGH with regret saw the report- ing cut short by a deadline, displayed fine potentiality and varsity prospects in the future. Some of the boys stood out, but not without the aid of those in the back- ground, for without the competition in practice, the athlete would fail in the meet.

WRESTLERS WRESTLING AT CAMELBACK has progressed from a sport of little importance to one of increasing student interest. The season for T956-T957 was hardly what you would call successful, but it gave the younger members of the squad valuable experience when valuable experi- ence was needed. lt proved the hidden talent in some of the members, and showed the potentiality of the little man to the team. ALTHOUGH THE TEAM compiled a T-ll record for the season as a team, many individuals stood out as po- tential state champions. Among these, Bob Hubbard and Ronny Ramseyer excel as top prospects. Larry Stanton, Ronnie Orr, and Terry Day also show great promise for future years. THIS YEAR'S SQUAD had only three seniors, co- captains Bill Van Camp and Jack Echols, and Rene Cata- lano. Van Camp showed strong towards the end of the season, while Catalano paced himself steadily,displaying great improvement toward the end of the season. Echols was high point man with 31 match points to his credit. AMONG THE HONORS bestowed upon the team, Hubbard and Ramseyer were outstanding in the state tournament. Bob placed fourth in the T27 lb. class and Ronny finished a close fifth in the T03 lb. class. Jack Echols was awarded a trophy by the Dads' Club for his high-point effort. -'I5 9 COACH JOHN HUGHES, who mentored the team along with Coach Black, said, WrestIing is a team sport, but each member participates individually. Unlike any other major sport, you are the only one on the mat to blame for mistakes or receive credit in victory. IN OTHER WORDS, there is no passing the buck in wrestling. K THE SEASON IS OVER, but the spirit and knowledge gained by the boys is not. Their courage and determina- tion will continue to boost them to greater heights in the coming seasons.
