Cross Country Cross Country is the only college sport which has the unique distinction of having as its playing field, walks around girls dormitories, wooded hills, roads and mountains. Although Haverford ' s nature walk provides none of the exotic scenery that the team encounters on away trips, it is full of such phenomena as Keolreutena paniculta and the China tree The harriers seem to take all this distraction in their stride and this year, under the coaching of Pop Haddleton and the leadership of Dove Nowlis, won half of their dual meets, or lost half, depend ing on whether you ore a pessimist or an optimist. The leading Senior on the team was Don Crane. Just when it looked as if he were to be top harrier, Dave Nowlis took over, so Don has been our second best runner for about four years. This budding biologist was on the nature walk one day Wtien the team ran past. He thought they were on the way to dinner or that the library was closing, so he joined them. Since he finished ahead of everyone else, he was persuaded to join the team, with the promise that he could eat the training meals. Of such stuff are stars born at Haverford College.

SOPHOMORES After the first period of any growth, there seems to come a let down and slump in which little prog- ress is made. The illusions are destroyed, but replaced by wild complexities, as the new born babe washes off the birth process and becomes aware of life. What was an idea receives the form of a structure, empty, but with some kind of a founda- tion. Upon this skeleton outward appearance is fashioned, while within, floors are being torn up and rebuilt, endlessly, with no apparent plan or purpose. Will we Sophomores move into our struc- ture while it is still of use to us?
