JracR and jrit In the 91st Highlanders Meet, the mile relay was won by the Delta team of Bob Sisler, Al Duncan, Felton Hill, and Brad Hill. Felton Hill also placed 2nd in the Boys ' 880 yd. race, and Al Duncan took 3rd place in the Junior Mile. In the pre-Easter Big 4 meet, held on the back campus, teams captained by Al Duncan. Felton Hill, Bob Sisler, and Brad Hill competed with Brad ' s team scoring the highest total points. Feature of this meet was the 2 1 ' 2 mile medley relay race. Our School Championships, with well over 100 competitors, saw Wayne Titian, Russ Evans, and Felton Hill capture the Junior, Intermediate, and Senior individual championships. Records went to Al Duncan in the Senior 880 (2:02.4) and Mile (4:35.3) runs; Bob Sisler in the Senior 220 (23.0): and Wayne Titian in tying the Junior Hurdle record (17.9). In H. I. A. C. competition, Delta was second only to Central in total points. Felton Hill was outstanding in the Senior division, winning 3 events for the 4th year in a row and setting a new 880 record. Russ Evans won the Senior Mile and 2 Mileraces. Although still of Intermediate age. Bob Chapman won the Intermediate 880 and Mile along with running a 220 on the 880 relay team. Wayne Titian set a new record in the Junior Hurdle race. Other out- standing performers for Delta were Brad Hill, Bob Sisler, Jon Uhlinger, Trevor Madden, Ed Stodulka, Frank Day, Lloyd Peterson, and Adam Safka. At the Quaker Relays in Newmarket, the medley relay team, (110, 220, 440, 880), consisting of Dan Cuciurean, Bob Sisler, Brad Hill, and Felton Hill smashed the old record by 3 seconds. In the Ontario Interscholastic Relay Carnival, teams from Delta took one first and three seconds out of the six events in which they were entered. The winning team in Senior 440 yard relay was composed of Bob Sisler, Doug Heyworth, Felton Hill, and Brad Hill. Delta ' s road runners, led by Al Duncan, Russ Evans, Felton Hill, Bob Chapman, Dave Bell, and Jim Mclsaac, had an outstand- ing season, winning both the Lucky Stewart and the National Steel Car 2 1 2 mile races. CROSS-COUNTRY - 1960 Early in September about 40 boys turned out to try to main- tain the high standard set by former Delta cross-country teams. As competition became tougher, this number dwindled to approx- imately 20. Mr. Wilkinson, in order to keep interest at a high level, arranged meets with Saltfleet and Hill Park at Gage Park; with Westdale at Churchill Park; and with Glendale, Barton and Hill Park at Hill Park. Delta, although they did not win many indi- vidual races, gave a true account of themselves by winning most of the team competitions . 1960 The Burlington Legion Road Race was the first contest of the year for Delta ' s distance runners. In a field of approximately 100, Bob Chapman was 9th, Jim Mclsaac 29th, and Gary Brewer 39th. The Anavic Road Race was the next big event. In the midget half of the race Delta ' s youngteam, composed of John Kolodziejski , (23), Peter Petryzyn (30), Don Ruddle (31), and Brian Manorek (33), finished well-grouped and thus promise to give Delta a fine team in the years to come. In the junior race, the Delta team finished second to a very strong Western Tech squad. Bob Chapman led our aggregation, placing fifth in the very tough field. Al Duncan, the former Delta ace now attending Michigan State Uni- versity, was third. Two days later Bob Chapman and Jim Mclsaac journeyed to Guelph to compete in the Guelph Thanksgiving Day Road Race, and in almost the same field as in the Anavic, Bob Chapman again excelled, placing fifth. Jim Mclsaac had to retire from the race with stomach trouble. In the final road race of the season for Delta ' s runners, the Joe Crysdale 2 1 2 mile Road Race, Bob Chapman was 9, Russ Evans 11, Phil Woodworth 12, and Gary Brewer 17. In the midget section John Kolodziejski finished 10. Returning to the more comfortable grass footing, the Delta Harriers held their school championships at Gage Park under the direction of Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Scott. The junior division was won by John Kolodziejski, with Don Ruddle second and Peter Petryszyn third. The intermediate division was won by Bob Chapman with Gary Brewer second and Bill Lewington third. Russ Evans won the senior event, with Phil Woodworth second and Jim Mclsaac third. The big meet of the year for Delta was next, the HIAC cross- country championships held at McMaster University. In the junior event Delta captured both the individual and the team championships. John Kolodziejski crossed the finish, line first, closely followed by- Peter Petryszyn (3), D. Ruddle (6), and B. Manorek (7). The only new record was made in the intermediate division, with Bob Chapman breaking the old record by 13 seconds. Delta did not capture the intermediate team title, but outstanding performances were turned in by Gary Brewer (10), Bill Lewington (12), and R. Veevers (23). In the senior division Delta captured the team title, with Phil Woodworth (4), Russ Evans (5), Jim Mclsaac (6), and a converted sprinter Brad Hill (7). Delta captured the overall team title, beating their nearest rival, Hill Park, by 16 points. In a new meet this year the HIAC schools were soundly beaten by the SOSSA (zone 1) schools . The former were handicapped by the upcoming examinations, as many of the better runners were studying. In this meet Bob Chapman broke his own record, set a week earlier over this course, by six seconds.

Senior JootLall 1960-61 If one word could be used to describe Delta ' s boys ' sports this year, it would be frustration . The senior football team would indeed fall into this classification, because in a season of six league games we managed to scrape up only one win. We were a bit more fortunate in our exhibition schedule as we posted victories over Waterdown and Ridley College. Our team was blessed with good coaches, fairly good players, lots of team spirit -- but, unfortunately, no points! Our coaches, Mr. Watson, Mr. Dodds, and Mr. Kennedy, and our team manager Mr. Wood all did a great job during the season for the work that they did put into the team is certainly to be complimented. We do also owe a great deal of thanks to our student managers, Ron Purdon, Pete Chapman, and Andy Bily. Such key players as Dave Donat, Vic Stretkowicz, and Vic Ranalli were lost to the team because of injuries, and we know that this was a great factor in our poor season. Next year should be a different story, since most of the team will be returning with a year ' s experience under their belts. Some of the highlights of the year: John Rekrut and his numerous injuries; John Walker and all his noise: Wayne Gate and his jokes; Dave Hajas and his M.V.P. award; Wayne Madden and his elbows; Lou Marcuzzi and his big smile; John Smye and his black eye; Trevor Madden and his long passes; Mr. Kennedy and his exercises; Ken Cooper and his hair; Terry Simpson ' s change on the bus; Ray Winchie and his stomach; the boys ' on the bench and their front seat view of the cheerleaders.

After finishing second to Central the previous year, Delta managed to defeat Hill Park in the finals to become the Interscholastic Volleyball Champions in ' 60. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Laxton, ourteam defeated the powerful Hill Park squad in the best-of- three finals, and walked away with the coveted trophy. Members of last year ' s team were: Bill Knox, (Capt.); Wayne Madden, Albert Wilson, Walter Fylypiw, Ed Lainson, Gary Smith, Wayne Shipton. Dave Donat. This year, although most of last year ' s team was lost because of graduation and the new age limit, Delta again had a fine team. Mr. Laxton added a few new faces to the team from Hamilton ' s Canusa Games team, and, thanks to a fine team spirit, Delta again had a successful season. Thank you for your support, and special thanks to Mr. Laxton, our coach.
