Rush Burkhardt Fred Henderson Phil Christ Rick Inglis Coach Carlisle Jerry Knight Break All Previous L’s 1959 Season a Big Success FULL OF TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL Flying L tankers began their 1959 season, not with a splash, but with daily workouts on Stranahan field. Diligent practice and strong desire enabled the team, con- sisting of seventeen members, to place third both in the county meet and the Gold Coast Conference. Under the guidance of Coach Richard Fetters, the team, beginning in November, worked out from 7:15 to 9:00 in the morning and from 4:30 to 6:00 in the afternoon at the Casino Pool. Practice payed off as the L’s broke all previous records when they defeated their biggest rivals of the entire season, Stranahan. As another successful season came to a close, the returning tankers for the 1959 season looked for- ward. The returning lettermen are: Rush Burkhardt, Phil Christ, Denny Gahagen, Bob Browne, Woody Maxwell—Juniors; Steve Day, Jud Mason, Rick Inglis, Fred Henderson, Jim Harrison and Jerry Knight.
