Trackmen Hurdle Into Rugged Turf Bill McClain, Ritter ' s all purpose track sensation, zips across the landscape in training for the Sectional Tournament. Bill who runs the 440 dash and own ' s the school record for the mile, qualified for the 880 yard dash in the first round of the tourney. Ritter ' s varsity cindermen proved to every- one that even a team with only five mem- bers can flash through a season and when the going gets tough, still maintain a win- ning vill and driving determination. Some- times stacked against enormous odds, the squad held on to every inch of ground without giving in. This season ' s squad didn ' t register the winningest record in the school ' s history, but the entire squad put to good use the talents that they did possess. Each member is deserving of special praise for showing stamina during the entire sea- son.
