This year's track was hindered by the great lack of good field men. Yet, the boys managed to break even, winning two and losing two. The wins were double wins over Mount Holly, 49-19 and 44V2- 23V2, and the losses were to New Brunswick, 49-19 and to Peddie, 44-24. In the State meet the B. M. I. Track team placed fourth in the State, running against such teams as Lawrenceville, Delbarton and Peddie. The team owes a lot to our coaches, Mr. M. B. O'Brien and Mr. P. G. Hartpence. They helped pull Winter Track us through the rough spots by their guidance and spirit. The mainstays of the team this year were Tom Sitton, who set the record in the 70 yard dash at 7.1 seconds, Ted Benz in the mile and 880, Harry Griffiths in the 880, George Kowal in the shotput, and Jerry Leshkou in the sprints. Next year, however, everyone will be back except Tom Sitton and Harry Griffiths. So the best of luck to our next year's team, may success crown your efforts.

M. I. The 1956 Rifle team had a rough time of it this year, because of their inexperience even though it accomplished something valuable and enduring, under the circumstances. The cadets have acquired a great working knowledge of riflery and, most of all, team spirit. The team is under the close supervision of Sergeant First Class Conradi, who has coached B. M. I.'s rifle teams in the ast. In each of the shoulder to shoul er matches, ten cadets Bred and the top five scores were totaled to compose the team score. The top five for B. M. I. were cadets Bartholomew, West, Baxter, Luker and Sanders. The second five competitors were Mezaros, Aiello, Szyjan, Barnett and Brick, C. Although the squad had several meets postponed the spirit remained high and the coach kept working for the other matches. All in all the team can be proud of their accom- plishments. i f ' -si-fs.

Tennis MR. GEORGE H. LUCAS The 1955 Tennis Team, although it didn't win any matches, gained valuable experience which will help the boys next year. After only a week of prac- tice they played their first match against Perkiomen and lost 9-0. Next came their best effort of the season, a 5-4 loss to Trenton Catholic. In the George School Interscholastics Harold Westcott took fourth place for B. M. I. In a return match with Trenton Catholic we came out on the short end of a 6-3 Coach score. In their last four matches the boys really tried their best, but successive losses to Peddie 8-1, George School 9-O, Pingry 8-1 and Trenton Central High 9-0 ended the season. The boys tried their hardest in every match played and even though they lost, the spirit of the team was high all through the season. With Edgar Brick, Mike Szyjan, Bob Weisz, Harry Westcott and Carl Meiser returning next year, the outlook for 56 is bright.
