The team had only three meets scheduled. The first was a triangular race with Rhodes and Cathedral Latin in which we captured second place. Next, Collinwood, Cathedral Latin, Rhodes and Heights met and here Heights took third place. The last race for the cross country team was the district meet. Although the results of the various meets were not very gratifying, nevertheless live boys showed suf- ficient ability to warrant their receiving letters. They were: Murray Garrison, Walter Wheaton, Blair Eiller, Jere Caswall, Ted Mandeville. This year Mr. Engel, who finished his fourth year as head coach of track, has been assisted by Howard Baughman in training the spring track squad. The following is a list of the contests in which the team participated. The first meet of the season was at Rhodes on April 24. This was followed by the annual Hilltoppers' meet on April 27, involving Shaker, University School, and Heights. Contests were held on May l and 8 followed by the Lake Erie League meet on May 12 at Lakewood with six schools participating. Shaw High came to our field on May l5 after which we entered the District meet at Thomas Edison. Collin- wood and Heights tangled on the twenty-second with the State events held a week later. Pour re- turning lettermen bolstered the team. They were: Jere Caswall, Erank Reynolds, Shael Siegel and Bill Prall. The Last Hurdle Mr. Engel Wlr. Baughman Coming Down the Track ev 2 4 -J
