At home, the designs in carpets, draperies cmd other household furnishings.

Four or five seniors competed, but the bulk of the team was made up of underclassmen. A strong- er point winning season is assured for '53 with Atkins, Campbell, Chatham, Clark, Ford, Gentry, Lawhon, Long, lN.lcLaughlin, Dale and Don Plumb, Reynolds, Sonner, Turner, and VViegant in the running. Bradley jones, '53 captain, established himself as a champion by taking first in all the meets of the '52 schedule. Lake, '52 captain, also a stellar performer throughout the season, won the Zimmerinan trophy: Jones, the track shoe award. THE RECORDS April 4-Benton-Lafayette Dual: Cards SZM: Shanirocks 352.
