ll gg ,Wmnsf . Thin-clads Prepared for Another Big Season Track mentor, Bob Porter, is looking over what he thinks as the most successful track season in this, his fourth year as head track coach at Central. During the past three years Central has claimed nine invitational and three league trophies. Central's success was highlighted in the l959 season by winning the North Sequoia League Sweepstakes, tak- ing third place in the West Coast Relays, and qualifying l7 athletes for the Valley Finals. Of the fifty high schools in the San Joaquin Valley, only Bakersfield and Fresno High qual- ified more entries for the Valley Finals. Paul Strate assisted with the track duties for his fifth year. At the time this article was printed, the track season was iust getting under way, but the A, B and C teams were headed by a num- ber of outstanding veterans and should, with some help in the distant running from new- comers, repeat as one of the most out-stand- ing teams in the Valleyg Tracklpromises a great deal of reward through recognition, personal satisfaction, and physical development for those who have the courage and perserverance to stay with it until they have achieved success. The suc- cess comes faster for some who have natural talent, but in track there is usually an event that most any boy can eventually achieve suc- cess in.

Tennis Gains in Prominence THE l960 tennis team should be congrat- ualted for the good iob they have done this year. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Dorothy Tubbesing, the netters have shown a great improvement. Further, there appears to be more general interest in tennis this year.

The tennis team started off the season in good form by winning their first two league matches with Tranquility and San Joaquin Me- morial. -152- Mrs. Tubbesing commented that Central was represented in tennis by a swell group of kids who have shown a lot of spirit and pro- mise.
