This year the Varsity F Club functioned within the Boys' Athletic Club, although all members of the Athletic Club were not letter winners. Since the regular club discontinued its meetings after December ll, only the Varsity F members had an active program. This group held their annual dance after the Alumni basketball game in December, supervised the Athletic Party in May, and awarded letters to those who fulfilled the requirements in the different sports. A different set of officers was elected for each semester by the twenty-two F members. The Club's officers for the first semester were Don Schwing, presi- dentg Lee Brant, vice presidentg and Richard Shaffer, secretary. For the second semester Lee Brant was president, Bill Walker was vice president, and Richard Shaffer was secretary.

Yonhousc. immediately following the close of the basketball season, Coach Bruce Fisher issued a call for candidates for the annual track team. Along with Shaffer, Schwing, Walker, and Knapp, all veterans of the l935 squad, reported such able material as Moore, Eppley, Baum. Howard, Erickson and Michlo. The season opened with the annual inter:-lass meet which was won by the ,luniors who scored T9 points, 45 more than the Seniors, their nearest rivals. The winners of this interclass contest were entered in the Seventh Junior Pitt meet on the Price Memorial field, Westniclnt. Here the Jackets showed all around ability by placing in eleven of thirteen events compiling 45 points, almost twice as many of the runner up, Indiana, who registered 25. This made the third win for our teams in seven years. One week later we entered the county meet at libensbnrg. This was almost a repetition of last yearls county meet when we tied Barnesboro. Again it was a battle with them and this time the team lost by three points in spite of the fine work of Shaffer who totaled l3 points and broke the record in the discuss and by ,lim Ling who broke the old javelin record formerly held by Dan Telenko. The relay team of Shaffer, Walker, Knapp and Moore took away some of the sting of defeat by capturing the much coveted mile relay trophy, one of the 'finest in our trophy case. This meet marked the close of another successful season. The boys deserve much credit for practicing under difficulties which caused most of the schools in the district to discontinue track for the year.
