Continuing the swimming team's winning ways, the Bee and Cee teams won more meets than they lost-the Bees winning seven and losing four, and the Cee team winning six and losing four. At the time this Sceptre went to press, the Bee team stood an excellent chance of capturing first place in the Pioneer League. The Cees were weakened in league because many of the Cee performers were moved up to swim in the Bee and Varsity divisions. The highlight of the Cees' year was the capturing of sixth place in the CIF Relays. The Cees also captured a sixth place in the Beverly Hills Invitational, and emerged with a first place in the Santa Monica Relays. The Bee team came out of the year with its records unscathed as not o single record was broken up to press time. Newly broken Cee records were: Medley relay-2:O4.5 by Gregg Peterson, Richard Foster, Richard Newhouse, and Mike Calder- wood-established on March 20 in the Beverly Hills Invitational, 50-yard backstroke-30.5 by Gregg Peterson-established on February 5 against Whittier. l0O-yard freestyle-l:Ol by Mike Calderwood-established on April 7 against Loyola, In Bee diving competition, Tom Knight and Craig Hendrickson added many points to the Bee total. Divers were coached by Gene Hatfield. Bob Hoffman was coach of the Bee team, while Gene Hatfield was the Cee coach.

Track Under new head coach Bill Pendleton, the Monarch track and field team enioyed another highly successful and record-breaking season. Combining many wins with very few dual and triangular losses, the Varsity placed third at the Mira Costa Relays, second at the Inglewood Relays, and first at the Huntington Beach Relays. Starting off with a very shaky loss to powerful Samohi, the Monarchs quickly returned to winning track by downing league foes El Segundo, Hawthorne, North High, and Beverly Hills in succession. The team also won meets over Mira Costa and Serra. Such new and record-breaking performances as a 9.6 hundred by Steve Haas in the meet with North High, and a 40.0 quarter in the mile relay at Mira Costa Relays highlighted the year. The sprint team combination of Haas, Dave Brown, Frank Curcio, and Ken DelConte won the mile relay at the Bellflower National Relays, breaking the record held by Morningside set the year before. The Monarchs also won the Centinela Valley Championships over Leuzinger, Hawthorne, Lennox, and Inglewood, held at the Sentinels' stadium. Some of the outstanding times and distances of the year as this Sceptre went to press were: Hundred-9.6 by Haas. 220-21.4 by Haas. 440-49.3 by Haas, 880-l59.4 by Dqve Brown. Mile-4:27.4 by Furman Marsh. l2O high hurdles-14.9 by Bill Ogden. 180 low hurdles-20.3 by Ogden. Pole vault--12 feet l inch by Dick Helstley. High iump-5 feet lO inches by Jim Hodge and Ogden. Broad jump-20 feet 3 inches by Helstley. Shot put-48 feet 3 inches, a new school record, by Mike Eaton. ' As the Sceptre went to press, the Monarch track and field team was preparing to run in the Comp- ton lnvitational, and then go on to Pioneer League. From the Pioneer League the MHS track team went to the CIF and then to the state meet. Coach Pendleton stated that this was the best year for track and field that Morningside had ever seen, and that, this team had as good a chance of any to take the Pioneer League Championship as any other in the past. Helping the head coach were Coaches John Cappiello and Walter Hogle, who were on the last two championship teams the Monarchs had. Coach Cappiello and Hogle were coaching the field events while Coach Pendleton coached the running events. 5 -. We iflgt,-.K af J? Vbvl T - Qtr' iw T , fl ' . .-E151 ,V , IQ-,Qs 1,1
