TRACKSTERS BEAT THE CINDER PATH By DARRELL SQUIRES Having lost some fine trackmen from the former season, the Central track squad last spring appeared to have little chance for suc- cess. However, several great contestants were brought to light who did, and will in the future, uphold the laurels of Central High School. Last year South Side and Marion fell before the Tigers in dual meets, and Central finished well toward the top in the N.E.l.C., sectional, Marion, and Kokomo meets. Central sent four men to the state finals last spring, contrary to the year before when Tony Stanski was the only Tiger representative to go so far. We were represented by George Lantz and Dick Kite, Seniors: Henry Kulesza, Sopho- more: and E. Allan Charlton, lunior. Prospects for this year's team are Henry Kulesza as one of the state's foremost high- jumpers, Allan Charlton, seeing a great year as a hurdler, and Fealing Talley as a great dashman, assisted by Vance Guy. The 440 will see Bill Hanley and Henry Sandkuhler as contenders, with Paul Iohns and Dick Miller appearing in the long mile grind. Last season we sent seven boys into com- petition as a cross-country team for the first time. The boys, under the guidance of Mr. Hemphill, a former college track star, were Paul Chamberlain, Russell Dunten, and Phil Oberkizer, Iuniorsp Otto Turpchinoff and Rich- ard Morris, Sophomoresp and lames Turpchinoff and Bill Smallback, Senior and Freshman re- spectively. After two months of hard practice, the boys appeared in shape for the state meet, and on the chilly morning of November 23, twelve of the state's foremost cross-country teams began the long grind. The Blue and White, as usual, fought gal- lantly to the tape. Although they didn't cross first, the Tigers were a happy group as they returned to the North Side gym. They had given their best for Central and they knew Central was proud of them. So while we give praise to the football and basketball stars, let us not forget these gallant trackmen who also deserve much praise. Page One Hundred Two -P 8

They started their Winning streak by capturing the volleyball title. All the games of the tournaf ment were close and exciting as was shown by the cheers of the large number of rooters of both teams. Billie Tate displayed fine torm and ability, and was one ot the outstanding players of the tournament. The Seniors played the luniors in the tinal game. Thus the volley- ball season was closed. Cries such as get me the mercurochrornef' ouch, my kneel and the like, could be heard as the girls would kick the soccer ball around. Speedball is a rough game, and many ot the girls get bumped, but all in all it is a great sport. Many a time after speedball practice was over, some ot the girls would indulge in a mud and gravel tight to make sure their shower would be worth their While. As it was time tor basketball, no speedball tournament was held. Many turned out for basketball. The girls can all enjoy it because, although some are not as good as others in shooting baskets, they can play the guard position. Miss Ingham and Miss Adams had a hard time choosing the teams because the girls were so evenly matched in ability. At the close of the season, the an- nual tournament was held. The first game was between the Seniors and the Freshmen. Vivian Martin was elected captain of the Senior team, and Patty Nyceum captain ot the Freshmen. The Seniors, being more experienced, Wal- loped the Freshmen to the tune ot 42 to 14. Page One Hundred Four
