TCACr LOSES CACE The track season commenced and terminated with triumphant victories first over the Matoaca Warriors (76-60) and lastly the James Monroe Jackets (7iy2-64V2). Unfortunately, to the re- gret of the team and fans alike the team was to lose the five meets inbe- tween. According to Coach Albert Wallace the record was a direct project of swift sprinters coupled with inexperienced distance runners and pole vaulters. Despite a losing season the track team did possess champions of another sort. Among those who proved themselves were Tommy Reich and Charles Gray who qualified for the state intermediate hurdles and 100 yard dash consecutively. Particu- lar recognition belongs to James Lee who placed second in the 100 yard dash at the state competition. Bob Sell displays a new style of track shoes during practice.

yolJNe DLrpccs SriLLrULL Consistency is the byword of Cul- peper’s golf team. Seniors were nonexistent and the oldest member was a sophomore. The guys seemed to come out with victories despite what would seem to be a handicap. By the end of the season they possessed a seasonal record of 6-3. Coach Herman Allen coached the golf team but has since moved away. This should not hurt the team’s efforts because all of last year’s team members are return- ing. o, it’s not a reindeer playing golf but merely Tommy Les- ter teeing off in practice one day. Tommy, with his child- hood experience, found a place on the golf team. Sinking his putt for a birdie, Steve Bernard secures his place during a match with Fauquier. However, the team as a whole lost. 28
