Elmhurst sportsmen had one this year. Eight boys turned out for 'KGeneral Fryhack's instructions in cross country run- ning. Although their training period was very short, the General's boys learned the fundamentals of running and opened the way for the team for next year. That practice run to Bluffton, over twenty miles, was some trek for these prospectors. At the Kendallville meet, Norm K'Speedy', Stanek ran the course in nine minutes and fifty-live seconds to win first place. Art Gaunt, Trojan 880-yard runner, took eleventh place honors and Hnished second of his teammates. At Decatur, Stanek placed third in the two mile heat. Bob Hamilton finished two minutes behind K'Speedy Stanek. Irvin Gaunt and Tom Kunneke, freshmen, and Norm Stanek and Art Gaunt, juniors, will carry on for the harriers next year.

The team burned up the countyg and then, on the heels of a 4 game winning streak, breezed into tournament competition. Here again they demonstrated that their booming bats could not be quietedg and behind good pitching, they defeated the Harlan Hawks, last year's champs, by the score of 5 to 3. Certainly most of the credit should go to our manager, General Don Fry- back, and coach, Don Weaver, without whose drive and determination we could not have attained our goal.

Four members outstanding in service, interest, scholarship, salesmanship, and school spirit were chosen by the faculty. These four became the ofiicers and picked the rest of the club, about thirty-five Juniors and Seniors. They toned down the roarin' and rampagin' and set a good example to the student body by helping the cheerleaders, selling confections, selling booster supplies and boosting the school. QOld Timer, those decorations were for Santy Claus.j
