I'aCli Ym Placing a well-balanced squad on the field, Mr. Baron, coach of the track team, has not been able to witness ine results of his handiwork up to the time this article was written. A hint of the team's power was given on April 27th and 28th when a selected group of runners distinguished themselves at the fifteenth annual Penn Relay. This team of runners, coupled with a team of fieldfmen coached by Joseph Bannak, have shown up well in their first two encounters with Central and Overbrook. While the team was not too im- pressive in the meet with Central, they distinguished themselves when they were unfortunate enough to lose to a strong Overbrook team by 'llfz points. Outstanding members of the team were: Bob Moser, Ken Kellner, john McAfee, hurdles, Gene Watts, Bob Burgess, sprintsg Ken Dixon, Joe Sei' gert, Bill Lichten, Bob Thomas, distanccg Bob Miles, john Miller, Monty Gardener, pole vaultg Bob Lowry, broad jump: Bob Johnson, john Miller, Bob Ona Izzmdred 0110 Miles, Ralph Guthrie, high jump, and Ralph Guthf rie, shot put. John Miller, Monty Gardner, pole vault, Bob Lowry, broad jumpg Bob johnson, John Miller, Bob Miles, Ralph Guthrie, high jump, and Ralph Guthrie, shot put. Though lacking in manpower, as seems to be a general thing in today's world, the musclefflexing men of the gym team made a commendatory record for themselves this past season. Wiiiiiing meets with Girard and South Philadel' phia, and placing fifth in the Public High Gym' nastic's Championships, proved to be the prme highlights of the season. Two boys, Bob Miles and Hugo Stein, returned from the 1944 team to aid the squad in its ay complishments. Miles, perhaps the most outstandl ing of all the team members, placed fourth in the championships and was noted for his work on the side horse.

Led by john L'Bonnie Fraser, one of the outf standing goal tenders in the Public High Soccer League, the freefbooters concluded a season which, although not unsuccessful, failed to bring any vicf tories home to the halls of Germantown High School. The season was not an unsuccessful one because the boys, besides tying teams from Gratz and Frankford, played a game that, while not crowded with victorious contests, was an epic of sportsmanship. The team, coached by H. Hynson, was also stalf warted by Alan Myers, member of the class of June, 1945. OCCZI' Paced by Ken Dixon, sprinter extraordinaire, the pebblefhoppers of the crossfcountry team crashed through to an unexpected fourth place in the Pubf lic High Championships. Not only successful in the championships, the team also carried away top honors in a dual meet with Frankford and Roxborough. joseph Seigert, Robert Thomas, and Royce Webb teamed with their captain, Ken Dixon, to make victories such as these possible. Too much cannot be said of Ken Dixon's work, for, had he not won, and paced the team as he did in the championships, such an illustrious record could not be recorded on this page.
