I' u-.-.-. - H- 9 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY What a race, what a finishl For a while it didn't look like they had a chance. The reason for this conversation was the spectacular winning finish put on by one of the relay teams at the Drake relays, after many had given up hope for a victory for them. A detailed story of how the Kaitchess team came through for their triumph came out in the News-Sun. Iune 4, 1936-At eight o'clock tonight, H. M. Dixon, athletic director of Kaitchess, with all the simple ceremony of the Greek games, will present laurel wreaths to his victorious. students, seventy-three in number, who, against great odds, spurted to a winning finish one stride ahead of their nearest rivals, the Malus Marks te-am. The winning time was four years. The Runners were as follows: Donald Gunsaullus, Thomas Renkenberger, Mary Alice McDaniel, Ierome Rupp, Everest Wible, Howard Misselhorn, Edward Stoeckley, Ioe Deal, Ruth Browand, David Runden, Morton Holcomb, with Misselhorn because of his endur- ance again running, as anchor man. The trainers were Mr. Carl Hamman, Miss Cath- erine Newnam and Miss Verna Page. The teams colors were Blue and Silver with the anchor man dressed in a flashing Blue and Gold outfit. Four teams were entered, Malus Marks being the favorite to win by thirty yards. As the gun cracked the lead-off men flashed away from their starting blocks. The Kaitchess team ran well but being unacquainted with the track lost much time in ss- ing the baton. When the second team received the baton a substantial gap lay the Malus Marks who were ahead and the Kaitchess thinlies. The second teqnf-tfiwhich had trained longer and had seen the mistakes made by the leadoff bunch tookzjsfrides which were smoother, easier, and longer. The baton passing was still a little ifncertain but it, too, had quickened. The Iuniors added a special trainer, Miss Ruth Sherman who inspired them to greater efforts with Skidding, a successful thifee-act comedy. ln this stretch Kaitchess went into the lead but near the end they tired badly, mostly due to the Banquet work and when the Senior group got started the Marks again were leading by twenty yards. During the rest of the race the lead changed as often as the batons. On the last turn Misselhorn, Kaitchess anchor man, pushed ahead to snap the tape a foot to the good. With Miss Eva Robertson directing, the group presented Growing Pains which aided also in the victory. The training table of the athletes consisted of juicy curriculum steak with Club salads. Miss Verna Page, head trainer is largely responsible for the fine condition of the ath- letes during the last two years. CLASS OFFICERS Freshman Iunior President ...................,..,.
