D. Morris, Hoppy Hanson, Barry Moore, Carl Elmgren, Benny Moore, and Norman Williams. This year the track team is composed of almost seventy-five per cent underclassmen, and it en- joys a great deal of depth. Each boy is a specialist in his field and conditions every day to keep in shapev for a good season. Every afternoon as most Falcons leave school, they can see these boys jogging around this area of Columbia doing this nworkv, the question of why they spend their afternoons like this is answered as a vaulter vaults a little higher, a runner breaks the tape a little faster, or the weight man puts the shot a little farther. Managers, Clyde Fraser and Tex Brennison, and trainer, Mike Mclntosh, are always ready to lend a help- ing hand to reach the goals of the team. in iaLf1i ..7Z'..'L .., '!9'wWmPn,vfaf3A222f'4iHi1L2-L-' - Track Team Track Coaches, Mr. Bill Carson and Mr. Jerry Redman give instructions to an anxious runner. 3 5

Ready for the tee-off in a practice round are Barrie Bridgers, Toby Dawson, Doug Yates, Dickie Sturkie, Robbie Lentz, Craig Bacom, Cary Silverfield, Koot Daw- son, Donnie Kinsey, Captain Bobby Foster, Mr. Coxe, sponsor, Iohnny Linton, Frank Weed, Ken Williams, Pete Hines, Dwight Iohnson, Peyre Scurry, Earl Pruett, Bobby Hart, and Ed Winn. These Teams Have Crown T hrough Experience Bobby Fosterls accomplishments as a junior golfer include placing Hfth in the International Ir. Colf Tournament in St. Paul, Minnesota. Team captain, Allan Pregnall, serves a high ball on Flora's own court. With each match the tennis team serves Flora. The tennis players are Newton Hornsby, Burke Dial, Tom Bell, Johnny Wingfield, Allan Pregnall, David Belser, Buddy Dulin, and Ricky Thomas, Tennis Team Even though this is just the second year that Flora has had a tennis team, it has acquired a great addition of players, experience, and a new sponsor, Mr. David Wertz. When most of the other sports are over for the year, tennis carries the athletic phase of our school on until summer.
