mah i l l f Track season started off with a bang, this spring. Practically every boy in school tried out for a berth on this year's edition of the B. H. S. thin clads. To form the nucleus of this year's team are several hold-overs from the team that copped the second place trophy in last year's County Track Meet. These include: Herman Llming, Sam Plear, Jimmy Smith, Jerry Wise and Jimmy Dorsey In the track events: Gene lucas, Daryl Cadwallader, and Clayton Brumfield in the field events. Working along with these boys will be a lot of promising new talent. This year the Blue and White speedsters will be trying to repeat or better last year's record.
