Eastern High School - Lantern Yearbook (Lansing, MI)

Wrestling Wrestling, ably coached by Don Johnson, ended its third year at Eastern. Cheered on by enthusiastic crowds, our men placed third both in the 5-A and the state. Dean McKay, state cham- pion of a year ago, proved his worth this year by annexing another state crown. Our other state champion was Bob Foster at 145 pounds. Don Phillips, winner of the state AAU meet, Dick Reese, Tom Champras, and Max Van Vlerah all showed plenty of power in their respective weights. With good material coming up, Coach Johnson hopes for an even more successful year in 1950.

Thirty men compose the track 1 X Gaim 3555 7 team, and Coaches Stillman and Eldred are putting the boys through their paces. Eastern's chances for a winning team this year have been weakened by a poor turnout of upper classmeng how- ever, the large number of talented sophomore athletes indicates future strength. Probable point winners will be Dean McKay in the mile run, john Bond and Jack Sturtevant in both the 440 and relays, plus Dennis Gil- christ and Chris Saunders in the sprints. Ron Miske, Bob Sears, and Bruce Newman, all sophomores, will compete in the high jump. Maiwiami HM! law L1o9J

Bobrofsky Managers One seldom hears of the unsung heroes of our athletic teams. While glancing through the sport section thus far, perhaps you have noticed fellows not in uniform. These are the boys working as managers: they often work longer and, in many respects. harder than the athlete who receives the publicity surrounding his particular sport. We, the graduating senior boys, pay tribute to their unpublicized efforts by saying to Mr. Butler and his managers, Thanks, fellows, for your patience, geniality, and unselfish help. l1lO1 -. - .
