In fact the entire student body basked in the glory that.came to EHS when seven boys, bolstered by three other squad members, carried away the Cross Country Class A Championship trophy No- vember 5, 1966. The accomplishment proved note- worthy because 1) the school participated in the sport for the first time this year. 2) it was the first time any EHS athletic team won a state championship. Although not immediately apparent it served as a climax to the athletic career of Ronnie Browi , the team's best per- former, who died the following spring from an accident. In cross country running the two-mile race covers the country side as laid out with a chalk line for the runners to follow. Conditioning and endurance highlight the training program for the participants and it was run, Run, RUN for the ten man squad. Several of them also played on the football team in addition to their cross country endeavors. The team ran successfully in five meets as follows: September 28, Buhler Invitational, First October 19, Buhler Invitational (no. 2), First October 22, Oakley Invitational, First October 29, Hays Regional, Second November 5, Wamego, State Class A , First Cross-Country Team that ran at the state meet were: Dennis Wheatcroft. Ronnie Brown, JohnHuslig, Don Werner, Allen Petz. Also on the squad were: Don Richardson, Steve Mattix, and Mike Brown. 19

Vog Taugfcfc Business Bookkeeping classes perseveringly balanced out practice sets at the end of the year, under the instruction of Larry Vogt. Their dogged efforts should prove invaluable to them as future citi- zens. Typing classes found their newly acquired skill a handy asset in typing themes and term papers, with the guid- ance and influence of Anna Mae Carey. Office practice girls, learning to effi- ciently operate a business office, re- lieved Mrs. Jenischof some of her tasks, while occasionally giving her more, but always in the name of learning. What appears to be Greek to most students, the weird signs and symbols of the short- hand classes. really does represent words, as students learned a quick and efficient method of taking notes.
