Girls Obtained Sporting Event Keeping in shape was essential for the Girl's Track Team which was formed this year. Under the direction of Meta Talley, the team traveled to four invitational meets. With a good turnout of girls trying out for the team, they started their training workouts early. They did vigorous exercises to maintain their agility and endurance to be prepared for the first track meet. The Girl's Track Team partici- pated in track meets, in Donna, Hebbronville, Brownsville, and Weslaco. Inexperience hindered the team this year, but several good sprinters and distance girls really p.roved themselves. In the field events the girls always gave a good account of themselves. Mrs. Talley stated that she hopes that next year she will have more track meets to attend and that the girls will be able to letter and receive awards.
