pg., lil, . X THE DIXIE ----f TRA C K On your mark! Get set! Bang! We're off! Off on our way to win again, to keep untarnished the record set by the High School girls of Van Buren, one not held by any other school in the county, that of winning every relay, ever since a meeting of this kind has been held. We are proud of it and we're going to fight this year and in the years to come to keep this record unmarred! Last year an entirely different group of four girls ran the relay but just the same we put Van Buren at the head and kept our colors, Orange and Black, flying high in the air. Let's duplicate it at this year's meeting if there are only two letter girls left. We can and we Will! Besides the relay, the girls starred in other events, which are: 50-yard dash, first and second, 100yard dash, first and secondg baseball throw, tied for second, high jump we received no positions among the three highest. The entrants and positions of relay teams which received first are: Lois Reamsnyder, firstg Helen Miller, second: Flossie Norris, thirdg Pauline Bany, fourth. Now you see the girls helped roll up the number of points to enable the High School to win first place. With the aid of our coaches and with other girls out for practice we hope this will force us to do our best in daily practice we hope to send the highest-ranking con- testants to the Field Meet this year to keep the colors of dear old A. T. H. S. forever on the top. So let's go girls-let's show 'em our stuff! -Lois Reamsnyder 1928 if

We feel that much of the first team's success was due to the hearty co- operation shown by each member in both practice work and as substitutes. -i-el928-+--

-------- ---------- THE DIXIE TRACK For the last five years Van Buren has carried away the cups with first honors at the County track meet. The season of 1927 ended very successfully. Van Buren carried off two cups, one for first place in the High School and one for second place in the schools as a whole, losing only to McComb by just a few points. Coach Clymer and Captain Reichman should be given due credit for through them the winning teams were produced. Last year's standing was very good. One hundred yard dash, Clair Flangan, Van Buren, first. Two hundred and twenty yard dash, Clair Flanagan, Van Buren, first. One mile relay, Francis Ensign, Robert Keelor, Maxwell Reichman and Clair Flanagan. Pole vault, Albert Nebergall, Van Buren, third. Shot put, Rawson. High jump, Mt. Cory. Broad jump, Robert Keelor, secondg Clair Flanagan, third. Van Buren was able to bring home two loving cups last season and she is going to do her best this year. Coach Clymer and Captain Ensign are going to do their utmost to have a winning team this season. Although Robert Keelor nd Francis Ensign are the only letter men back this year we are looking forward for Coach Clymer to work out a winning team this season. Come on fellows let's get out and support good old Van Buren, and when the cheers are made let them be for Van Buren High School. -Francis Ensign BASEBALL This is the first year our school has attempted to develop a real team. Mr. Clymer, athletic director, is coaching. Much enthusiasm is shown by all boys of the high school. A county league has been organized in which five schools are entered. Van Buren is considered as one of the outstanding teams of the conference. May our team be champions. l--19281-
