in pring and Fall The Berkley High Cross Country team not only had a top won-lost record, but also uncovered valuable trackmen and new records. The Bears were beaten once and tied once in dual meet competition. Berkley placed in Oakland County, Thurston Invitational, lnterlakes League, Regional, and State meets. Under their coach, Lynn Holley, the boys worked hard and placed on top in the League with seven wins. The Bears were runner-up in the Oakland County meet, in the Thurston ln- vitational meet, and in the League meet. The outstanding cross country running of sophomore Ron Pulford helped the team to their many victories. Other runners were Glen Under- wood, captain, John Quayle, Bill Matley, George Schaffer, Al Landvoy, and Bob St. Onge. John Quayle and Ron Pulford were chosen to be members of the six-man, All-Conference, Cross Country team of South Oakland County. On the surface, the T961 track record appears dim. How- ever, even with two wins and eight losses, the season was far from being a failure. Under Coach Neil Jordan, the wins were well deserved. The first triumph left Groves gasping for air as the Bears walked off with a 89W to WM win. After a few losses, they parked Oak Park on a 76 to 33 victory. During the season Steve Meyer ran into and broke several school records, one in the half mile, and one with the mile relay team of Al Landvoy, Leo Roumpz, and Dick Watson. At the Oakland County Track and Field meet, the team placed seventh, but Steve Myers smashed through in first place. The Bears also had a fourth place in the mile relay against stiff competition in a state meet. B.H.S. tracksters had a disappointing season: Top Row: Mr. O'Dell, coach, Dennis Lemcool, George Shaffer, Allan Granger, Chuck Crech, Bill Hich, Paul Johnson, Bob Dennis, Paul Wirebaugh, Mr. Jordan, coach, Row 3: Don Seeger, Steve Hollingsworth, Bob Mogridge, Jack Knoll, Steve Meyer, Arnie Bernstein, Leo Roumpz, As the holder or several school records, a league champion, an S.O. C. champion, and a state champion, Steve Meyer easily qualified for the athlete of the year award. 5 -iisrfv Wim se m x x x x x X X QW: XX Dick Watson, Row 2: John McAvoy, mgr., Paul Nassau, Dean Srogi, Andy Dolziel, Don Doerfier, Ed Ott, Rick Edgington, Al Landvoy, Mike Soronen, Row 'lz Mike Clapp, Tom Collins, Charles Tucker, Bill Barrett, Bill Matley, Dick Sutton, Dennis Crosby, Gary Glaspie. 149

ef... The 1961 Varsity Golf Team tried hard. The members were Bob Jones, Mike Drabik, Mike Capra, Ken Brenner, Tom Parsonage, and Don Epstein. The team was sponsored by Mr. James Brown Spring athletes like Ken Scheffer found the long winter especially frustrating. -il we: 'K 150 l i ive is Engii ' F552 533 5 5 T ii SSE? t 533 SEE?

Two nine hole rounds of golf are played with each of the opponents. By winning one of those rounds and losing the other to the same opponent, the Bears were able to break even with Southfield and Oak Park. Although this is not fi narticularly breath-taking won-loss record, it did add to the experience of the players on the team. The average team score for the season ranged from 45 to 50 for nine hole matches. Players on the Varsity Golf squad were Bob Jones, Ken Brenner, Mike Capra, Tom Parsonage, and Ken Scheffer.
