The Varsity Track outlook was dimmed in the eyes of Coach D'Alton by the fact that there were no returning lettermen from last years team. Doug Moseley, being the only man in the school with a track letter, went out for the baseball nine this year. leav- ing the hundred and twenty spots open to the school. He found that a broken ankle received in the final game of the cage season was too much of a handicap for his track efforts. His presence was greatly missed. Bob Fairchild lent a hand in the broad jump and in the hurdles this year, and he was certainly very helpful to the squad which was at best very thin this year. Bob Koehler. former hurdler from Beverly Hills High in Los Angeles, was outstand- ing in this event. showing terrific form in the track competition. The squad was hurt by the loss of several lettermen from last year's Senior Class. Dick Tognazzini, high point man for the 1954 season, graduated with the schools best seasonal 880 time, and Duncan Abbott took with him his 4410 and 1520 ability. Both of these men were members of the relay team. The team in addition missed Frank Kennan and Maui Lyons, who threw the shot last season with great success. Boit Sesnon, B shot putter was lost from the ranks this year. The season included the annual meets which are familiar to the Tri-Valley competi- tors. These took in the Russell Cup Meet and the League meet. The Quadrangular meet was held this-year again with other meets with Moorpark, Simi, Santa Clara, Santa Ynez and Midland. Top rowg Teague.

. .I This year, under the leadership of Captain Doug Brown, the tennis team enjoyed a successful season in the Tri-Valley League play. The league, which includes eight local teams, saw the 1954 team come in second, losing in the final rounds to a strong Thacher squad which has led the competition ever since the tennis section of the league has started. The team missed the services of john Trotti, who served as the 1954 net squad, and of Kent Simpson, who was always among the top two or three of the schoo1's players. Pete Baldwin was also absent this year and his presence was greatly missed, as was Boit Sesnon, as he is currently enrolled in the Lick Wilmerding School in San Francisco. His half of the first doubles team had to be filled this year from the lower ranks. The team was led this year by Captain Brown, who played in the first position. He was followed by Marc de Tristan, both Dave and Richard Olney, and by a newcomer to the tennis squad this year, Bruce Sperry, who acquired his tennis knowledge at the Berkeley Tennis Club in the North. Tallant Smith also saw action this year as did Bill Seson, who came up from the second courts to fill in a position on the varsity. The team continued in the tradition of good tennis at the school and is to be con- gratulated on a successful season. Top row: Smith, Haines, Wood, Gregson, Sesnon. Bottom row: R. Olney, D.
