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

Although the boys' sport may be rugged and competitive, the girls' physical educa- tion activities offer much in making her a well-rounded young lady. The Girls' Athletic Association is one of these numerous functions. It affords its members many opportunities, social as well as athletic, Aside from playdays and team sports, GAA has many social functions such as the Father-Daughter Dinner, Mother- Daughter Tea, and Semi-Annual Awards Banquet. The girls' physical education department provides its participants many self-improve- ment courses, including body mechanics and a general health program. Modern Dance is another phase in this section, consisting of exercising to limber up muscles and dance choreography. They also attend many professional dance exhibi- tions. Such problems as set and costume designing were a challenge to those par- ticipating in the many programs performed by the various classes. The P-TA, Lions' club, and the Optimist club were some of the organizations for whom they held engagemenh. Known as the Monarchettes , the drill team played an important part in school functions. They performed at every home football and basketball game. The girls are confronted with stiff competition to qualify for the team. Competitive swimming was the obiective of the Girls' Swim Team. The participants competed against themselves and other schools in the Pioneer League this year, but competition was not to break school or other records. The 13 members of the Girls' Rifle Team met each week for the purpose of improv- ing their scoring ond markmanship. Keen competition among the girls rewarded those who won trophies at the annual banquet, which was held in May. .pl W U QM fl ' J , , .,, I , W ' a ' . -..' :rl Xl? . - ir I i f 5 N Q., .-
