It has a pleasing mixture of seniors, who score the points, and inexperienced underclassmen, who are gaining experience un- der fire. Herb Brownlee and jim Bramer have provided the strength in the hurdles to win this event in every meet. Dave McLaughlin and Al Clerihue have scored points in the dashes. jack A group of boys representing Dormont's track team went to the Connellsville relays in which our shuttle high hurdle team placed seventh in a field of thirty-two. Congratulations to these boys. In the Independent Districts' meet held at Mt. Lebanon, Dave McLaughlin placed fifth in the javelin to win a ribbon. Although nobody else was in the top live, Jin. Bramer and Herb Brownlee placed seventh in the low and high hurdles respectively. Mr. Loeffler, Head Coach. Lammert, ,lim Dittmar, and Don Campiti al- ways have given a good account of themselves in the longer distance runs. In the field events Paul Palmer, jim Coyne, john Minneci, Dave Keane, Dave McLaughlin have helped raise the total score, although the season record is not good, the sportsmanship, which was developed through competition, is more important than winning.
