.rin sv MQ' . . TICERS GRCWL RICHARD HAINES Sports Editor ln this year's Advance, the sports statt has tried to bring the ideal sports section to the students ot Arcata High. You will note that we have increased the number ot pages devoted to sports and that we have made the section more ins clusive. Baseball and track have received more attention than at any time in the past. Football and basketball have been well covered as the pages ot action shots will testify. Our thanks go to the coaches who cooperated with us and to Mr. larboe who was always willing and ready to abide by our picture schedule. - All ot us tried to be tair in dealing with the Tiger athletes but we did con- centrate on Seniors since they will not be with us next year. Those Seniors who have tought under the orange and black banner tor the last time are Bob Bristlin, Pete Haynes, Bomas LaRue, Don Vanni, Doug Bates, Tom Besecker, Bill Dowling, Pete Linden, Marvin Burton, Ierry Chapman, lim Clarstrom, Dave DeVine, Gary Hunter, Les Headrick, Art Miller, lerry Thomas, Gurnie Noah, Emil Yurdana, Ernest Noble, Frank Santos, Max Flockhart, Conrad Lahr, Bill Peugh, lim Phillips, Warren Sweet, Mervin Sweet, Mel Oliver and Bob Spaletta. These athletes tought hard and well tor Arcata High in spite ot many handi- caps. ln the not too distant future, Arcata's athletes will have a new football stadium, their own track, and their own baseball diamond but the above graclu' ating athletes had to be content with many road games and inadequate practice tacilities except when they were able to secure use ot Humboldt State Colleges tields. The hoopsters, however, did have the use ot a grand new gym tor the tirst time in years. To all departing Seniors we wish the very best ot luck in business, in or on the athletic tield. We hope they come back on campus from time perhaps to take part in some alumni game such as we sponsored lor time this year. college, to time, the tirst W o Larry Ford asks Richard's opinion on photographs of Richard Haines and assistant Bob .Brist1in plan lay out for the Tiger football games. sports section.
