Track This year's track team under Coach jones proved itself capable of holding its own with the best. Handicapped by poor training facilities, the boys did exceptionally well in all their indoor meets, opening the season with a victory over New Trier, and a few weeks later placing third in the annual Suburban League Indoor Track and Field Meet. trailing Oak Park and New Trier. The following week at the Oak Park Invitational Meet Evanston placed second to Oak Park, holding a comfortable lead over the other four schools entered. In the last tabulated indoor meet, the Oak Park Relays, the team placed high in the standing of the twenty schools entered. Many stars of the squad will be lost in june in the long list of fifteen graduates. Captain Sunny Heg of the genial disposition, star middle distance runner, capable of running any event that was chosen for him, continually shifted around, but always came through with the same brilliant performance. Runge, Iivanston's super-man and high scorer of .ill meets, could always be counted upon for points in any or all of five events. Pierce climaxed his three year career by proving himself a star in the first two indoor meets of the year, after which he was lost by the nine semester ruling. I.. Wkzkefield, consistent point gainer of former years, was injured in the middle of the season and was lost to competition for many weeks. In the pole vault were Stewert, Trabert, and Gedeberg.

Seniors in the M. T. C. Twenty-tive seniors leaving the Military Training Corps are doing so with mingled emotions. lour years. packed full of real comrade- ship. achievements-both by individuals and the corps-camping trips. sham battles. drill competitions. and minor incidents reyiew themselves in the minds of these graduates. Your years ago. in the fall of 1927. a group of awkward freshmen stood in room 572 in a formation dimly resembling a straight line. This awkward squad was facing the man who was later to be known more or less personally by each individual as a leader and a friend. Armistice Day. approximately two months later. told a slightly different story. These former members of the awkward squad escaped being raw recruits by a small margin. At least, they had a badge of unity in their uniforms. As sophomores. new corporals and lance-corporals rejoiced in their superiority over the next class of freshmen. They went through the first qualms of commanding and came out unscathed. The armory was now open with its big drill floor and efhcient rifle range, and many of these sophomores made the drill platoon or rifle team. Sergeants and section guides were the ranks of most of these juniors. With such weighty responsibility, a wealth of dignity was required, and this latter was valiantly maintai-ned by the third year. Probably the high-point of that year was the competition among the juniors for the D. A. R. saber, given the one outstanding in drill and command. The seniors graduating this year are the present ollicers of the corps. As each one steps up to receive his diploma, he will undoubtedly think of many events which have occurred during the past four years. Among these, experiences in the corps will probably stand out as being worth while in every respect. OFFICERS Oli THE CORPS Tbirtl Ron-johnson.

In the outfield Frank holds a regular job for the second year along with Greenslade, Feltes, and Schneider. Crawford is filling Stewie Merrill's shoes ably behind the plate.
