TH 3932 E BEE HJVE f fs TRACK A The young and inexperienced Behrman thin-clads were not too successful in their only two track and field encounters. In their first appearance cornpe'-ition was of the highest prep school calibre. They met in a dual meet some cf the larger high schools of the city-Fortier, Easton, Peters, and Nicholls. The Bee cindermen were out-manned and outa gunned by the larger prep schools. In the following meet Behrman met competition from all the Riverside schools in a Freshman-Sophomore meet. Little John Boyer, the Behrman Flash. hi-lighted the meet by breaking the high-hurdle recordg distance-80 yards, and the time, 10.2. ' Coach Bonck was especially pleased with young John Boyer and the Mysterious John Wilcox. Other members of the team included Jim Martin, Buzz Clarksong Herbie Ellenburgg Albert Lovasg Jerry Trauthg Bert Andryg John Goodwyneg Lowell Braem. E With more experience and hustle, Coach Bonck's tracksters may prove very troublesome for opponents in the coming year. IN .APPRECIATION To the faculty, sponsors, and students who have contributed so generously to the success of this. edition, the' staff of the Bee Hive expresses sincere appreciation and thanks.
