TRACK With the installation of a new track and field by Doctor Brooks, the Cum- nock track team went into action under the able direction of Mr. Vaucher. After three weeks of strenuous training, the first meet was held with Webb and Cal Prep combined. Cumnock emerged second in this meet and gave promise of a fine track team. The second meet was held with Pacific Mili- tary Academy, with splendid results. Cumnock downing the adversary with a score of 64 to l2. The track team, as a whole, was well balanced, with boys participating in every event. Hugh lbbett and Tom Vail gave excellent performances in the long distance runs, Al Wilcox, jack Thomas, Bob Parker, and Hugh Berkeley contributed many firsts in the sprints. ln the field events, Bob Clesson hurled the shotg lack Thomas and Hugh Berkeley handled the high jump. Al Wilcox gave a splendid performance in the broad jump, as did Hugh Berke- ley. I think it can be truthfully said that Cumnock's l938 track team has both the talent and the ability to win. lt is these two qualities for which the stu- dents of Cumnock are noted.

F E N C I N C The purpose of forming a fencing team to compete with other high school and junior College teams in Southern California lies in back of the slashing and hopping activities witnessed in the patio this year, during the afternoons. Training for competitive fencing, however, requires months of patient drill and discipline. lt is hoped that by next fall the small group now interested in this most ancient sport may be enlarged to form varsity teams in Foil, Duelling Sword, and Saber. This season Charles Belt, Arthur Spengler, Henry Sorge and Bill Pullen have worked assiduously and patiently learning the fundamentals of foil play. Their noticeable improvement in timing, balance and coordination of hand and eye indicates some of the many benefits to be derived from the pursuit of this sport. r llO
