Run on a two-and-one-half mile course over different terrains, Cross Country returned to B.H.S. after a five year's absence from the sports program. The team placed second in the Morris County and Lakeland Conference Meets, and, due to the enthusiasm of Coach Moore and the boys, a total of ten wins and four defeats resulted. Dennis Carey, a senior and captain of the track team, was the star of the harrier's season In addition to his record-breaking runs over the two-and-one-half mile course, Carey brought in many first places to lead the Red and Black Cross Country Team to a winning season. Spring track was strengthened by the return of ten varsity men. The track squad was well assembled with Dennis Carey, Warren Haddon, Bill Applegate, and Charles McCoy running the distances, and Bill Applegate, Henry Edelhauser, and Jack Chisholm running the dashes. Russ Eppler, Bob Braue and Don Braue handled the hurdles; Norman Harte specialized in the pole vault; Steve Avallone favored the javelin; and Bob Mariani maintained his position with the discus and the shot put. Ably guided by Coach Glenn Moore, the squad has experienced a successful season and has compiled an enviable record. Coach Glenn Moore directs the track team from the sidelines. A Muscles straining.
