The team consisted of five players. who had a good season considering that all but one of them had never played golf before. The team played matches with the following schools: Acalanes. Pleasant Hill, Antioch, Pittsburg, and Mt. Diablo. Golf practices were held on the foot- ball field and matches were played every Monday. The biggest problem of the team was to get clubs. but. through the cooperation of faculty members. the boys got good clubs. Team members were Jerry Asp- land. Bill Brown. Charles Morey. T. C. Meeks. and Nelson Burchfield. Cross-Country Cross-country got off to a slow start at Pacifica with only seven boys turning out for the sport. At the end of a few weeks only five of them were left. However, these five boys, Earl Clark, Ernest Cole- man, Bob LaPointe, Don Lopez, and Leroy West, turned in a fine season's record. They were victorious in their meets against the junior varsity teams of Mt. Diablo, San Ramon, and Acalanes, and against the sophomore teams of Mt. Diablo, Hayward, and Berkeley. They traveled to the Stanford golf course for the North Coast meet, but did not place in the tough varsity competition there. We are looking forward to an interesting season next year as all the boys will be back, said Coach Hipple. Pacifica will be able to have one of the best and toughest courses in the area, which will be laid out over the hills just west of the school.

A Truck The first Spartan A track team consisted of approximately 15 boys. Coaches Joe Hipple and Charles Carter guided the team through the first season. Through the season the team met with such schools as Pittsburg, Liberty, Antioch, Mt. Diablo, and also ran in the El Cerrito Relays. The team as a whole did not show outstanding performance, but made up for it in their spirit. Athletes such as Bill Brown and Tom Alfaro are prospects for better performance in the 1957 season.
