TRACK Wl+h a strong nucleus of returning lettermen and a group of young prospects, the track team looked for a banner year. Among the returning lettermen were Don Jordan, hurdler and sprint man; Walt Reynolds, quarter-miler and broad- jumper; Alonzo Saunders and Ed Sterne, distance men; and Tony Watkins, sprinter and broad-jumper. The newcomers were Bart Frame, half-miler and broad- jumper; Ken McCloskey, distance man; John Moffett, shot-put, discus, and javelin; and Bob Schneer and Al Stewart, high- jumpers. The loss of such men as Jordon, Reynolds, Saunders, Sterne, and Watkins will force Coach Leroy Holllngsworth to rebuild his team by finding new prospects for next year. Co-captain Walt Reynolds hits the tape to bring in a 440 victory for Harriton. FIRST ROW: T. Davies, E. Sterne, W. Ramsey, L. Saunders, W. Reynolds. D. Jordan. D. Pearson. T. Watkins, R.

Turning out In full regalia for St. Patrick ' s day, the varsity eight rowed up and down the Schuylkill River despite the thirty degree temperature. A few factors such as the choppy water, the building of a new dock, and the sinking of the motor launch continually hampered practice. However, with the arrival of spring, the combined Varsity and J.V. squads began practice in earnest. On the weekend of April 23, at Princeton, Harriton finished second to the Hun School, while Lower Merlon placed third. Because of five returning lettermen and a strong J.V. squad. Coach Horner predicts a good year.

BOYS ' TENNIS Ned Sdxman, second sir c u :. ; Harrifon, follows fhrough on h.s forenand drive. George Sokol receives Most Valuable Player award from coach Carl Schneider. GIRLS ' TENNIS One of the most successful boys ' sports at Harrlton was the tennis team. Led by coach Karl Schneider, the team com- piled an amazing record as they bowled opponents over right and left. First man for the team was all-state senior, George Sokol, whose powerful ground strokes and even temperament made him the finest net man in the area. Backing this star were Steve Borish, Andrew Braunfeld, Cal English, Mark Hallet, and Ned Saxman. In commenting on this year ' s squad coach Schneider said Their (the team ' s) desire to play winning tennis overcame one of Harriton ' s great deficiencies: no real school tennis courts. Harriton High School and friends salute George Sokol. His hard work, his leadership, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit identify him as one of the top junior players in the land. Captain and 1959 all-sfate c ' nam- pion George Sokol smashes one over the net. FIRST ROW: M. Hallet, G. Sokol, D. Girard-Di-Carlo, C. English, A. Braunfeld, S. Borish, S. Smith. SECOND ROW: G.

Although Harriton had not had many practices prior to the match, coach Gulick felt that her 1-eam had enough support from its players to carry it through the contest. Once more the Highlanders upheld the hopes of their coach. The girls met Radnor and won 4-1. The following matches were with Norristown, Haverford, and Cheltenham. In spite of this tough schedule, first, second, and third singles (Anne Hahn, Petey Bain- bridge, Wissa Hahn) and first and second doubles (Alice Belmonte and Karen Ramsey, Ann Belmonte and Tootsle Hahn) proved their skill and upheld the victorious Harriton spirit.

The varsity baseball squad, led by Mr. Pelfryka and Captain Woody Arnold suffered through woes of a team rich in potential, but lacking in confidence and experience. With only five lettermen returning, Woody Arnold, Dick Davidson, Marty Schotz, Frank Titlow, and Bruce Wein- roth, the Rams were forced to rely on juniors, sophomores and first-year seniors for support. In spite of obstacles, the team improved steadily during the season. The Highlanders opened this season against Ridley Township; and, except -for the game with Cheltenham, a member of the Suburban I League, played completely in the Suburban II Bracket. Next year the Rams will have returning Matt Blum, Bob Kagg, Shelly Greenberg, Bill hiearn, John Spencer, Frank Titlow, and Chip Wilkinson. With the experience gained this year, these boys should provide the backbone for a stronger team next year. i Ridley Township batter whiffs on a Hoff- man fast ball. J inety-eight
