Bryan rates high in hurdling events, led 1974 TRACK by Daryl Kleinhen's record performances The Track Team was only able to manage a season of 2-7, but talent was definitely not lacking. The Bears performance can mainly be attributed to inconsistency and depth in personnel. Daryl Kleinhen, MVP and co-captain along with Rick DeLue, highlighted the season by qualify¬ ing for the state semi-finals. He also turned in first place showings in hurdling events at the Blade Relays, Napoleon Gold Medals, and the Ottawa Glandorf Relays. In addi¬ tion, Daryl set a school record in the high h urdles in a smooth 15.3 seconds. The team's strength was definitely in the hurdling and sprinting categories. In most of the tournaments, the Bears placed high in the 220, 440, and 880 relay; along with the high and low hurdles. Seniors Bruce Taylor, Rick DeLue, and Bruce Vincent, with Sophomore Eric Olnhau- sen, all turned in fine performances throughout the year. Eric was selected the Most Improved Cinderman for his efforts. Because of the steady improvement displayed by the cindermen, and a fine fourth place finish at the sectionals, the team's future is looking bright. The field events have many underclassmen returning which should help strength¬ en this season's big weakness. The loss of Daryl Kleinhen will be felt in the hurdling events, but the overall picture shows a lot of experienced personnel returning and a brighter season for the Bryan Cindermen. 1974 Track Team.

GAA stages comical theme: 1974 HONOR NIGHT ''How the West was won Rounding up their year with the annual banquet and dance on April 5, GAA went Wild and woolly. The gym became a scene from the Old West built around the symbol of the sheriff — a huge | white hat with a golden star. A Western-style menu was served by Mrs. Carr and the school food-service staff. Lively entertainment followed, as Mary Lou Fackler, of Pioneer, a college student with a talent for ventriloquism, presented Candy and her cowboy friend. Miss Maneval awarded numerals, pins and trophies to the girls for their activities. High point awards went to Becky Heckters, and Karen and Kathy Weaver. As the climax. Dr. King presented the pearls and orchid of the Honor Girl to Becky Heckters. The Maid of Honor was Connie Andres, with Mary Beth Thaman as Honor Attendant. At nine the girls were joined by their escorts for an evening of dancing to the music of the Tempos.
