UNK, Q6 .ve This year's winter track team, with a fine showing of athletic ability and school spirit, finished its season undefeated, although it was tied twice. As is usual most of the credit nust be given to the cadets, but we recognize that our success was due to the fine coaching af Mr. Paul Hartpence, and Mr. Malcolm D'Brien. The team won a total of five dual meets and tied two dual meets. Ted Benz set a new 3.M.l. record in the State Meet for the indoor nile, 4:3-4.3. Pat Morgan set a new B.M.l. 'ecord in the 60 high hurdles at the State Vleet, 8.1. Bojczuk set a new school record n the 60 low hurdles, and tied the 70 low uurdles school record. We find that the top point-getters were MR. P. G. HARTPENCE WINTER TRACK lll Ted BGHZ-SQVZ, l2l Bojczuk-52, l3l Pat Morgan-49V2, l4l Dick Mahoney-39, l5l Bickley-30. Of course, the highlight of this winter's track season was the sixth state indoor track meet held at Lawrenceville, February 20th. ln this B.M.l. placed fourth with a total of I7 points. Ted Benz placed first and set a new B.M.l. record for the indoor mile. Bickley placed third in the 880. Pat Morgan placed fourth in the 60 high hurdles and set a new B.M.l. record. Sellyei placed fifth in the 60 high hurdles. Bojczuk placed fifth in the 60 low hurdles. Lesko, Morgan, Brenner, and Bojczuk placed fifth in the eight lap relays. With this year's season and its successes we look forward to next year with Don Rama- ley and Mike Kraft as our co-captains. lst Row: Leshko, J., Brenner, R., Kraft, M.

With a full schedule of top-flight com- petition, the rifle team for i956-i957 set to work a few weeks after the beginning of school to prepare for a tough season. Although more than thirty cadets came out on the first day, only ten had to be select- ed to compose the team. Through two weeks of careful screening and elimination, S.F.C. Conradi, the coach, finally chose the cream of the crop. ln the course of the season, a few of the P matches had to be cancelled, but some of the high-spots of the season were the two match- es with Admiral Farragut which were both won by the Middiesg however, B.lvl.l. retali- ated when it won over Admiral Farragut of Florida. The Cadets also scored two wins over 'N Haddonfield High School. 5 The team spirit and cooperation gained this year is something to be envied. Lost mat- ches didn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm or determination of the team in the slightest. Through the experienced coaching of S,F.C. Conradi, the team has acquired the es- sential factors of marksmanship, team spirit and sportsmanship that will go a long way ir making the team of i958 a highly successfu one. High scorers this year were Charles Luker Kenneth Meszariols, Edgar Brick, Michael Szyi pi jan and Richard avey. 5-F-C- CHARLES CONRA Top-notch support was furnished by George Gould, Leamon, Spaeth, Brick, W.

Finishing with a 8-l record, the Spring track season successfully came to an end. The team was by far a surprise to everyone. Re- turning from the year before were a few var- sity lettermen. Everyone started the season practicing hard and ended equally as hard. One of the outstanding trackmen was Tom Sitton, a senior. Tom participated in four events of every meet. His big event was the 220 yard dash. The other events he quite often captured were the lOO, 440 and the broad jump. Ted Benz also helped greatly in providing a fine record for a prep school track team. A few of the sophomores and the juniors who were faithful contenders and scored quite frequently were: Bob Brenner, John Arthur, John Finneran, George Kowal and Jerry Lesh- ko. We must not forget two of the most im- portant individuals, our coaches. This team would never have completed such a splendid ami.- in-nur:-1 record without the combined help of Mr O'Brien and Mr. Hartpence. Throughout th year these men have put their lives into trac teams of B.lVl.l., and we, the boys who hav composed the team, want them to know hox much we appreciate their help. Thank Coaches!
