Track 89' Field For the first time in many years Alvo is resuming track and field activities Since the date of this publication is too early for coverage of our meets, there isn't much we can say about it, except that all of the boys are participating. We are sure to have as good a track team as our football and basketball teams were because the team is under the coaching of Ollie . A couple of baseball games will be played. Several interclass games will be played also. 'Ex sp' X .., .X , 1 'f' . ff. gl, 4 'W' - J- f 25
