Captains URING Nthe season of 1929-1930, Highland Park has participated in nine sports, and, unlike many other schools, it has had nine elected cap- tains. The era of appointing captains is very near in this school, being made neces- sary by the non-coaching rule. It is also unique this year that few of the captains were the stars of their sports, although all of them are good team players. This would tend to show that teams appreciate a heady combination player for a leader, rather than a star. Another interesting fact is that seven of the nine honored by captaincies are seniors graduating in June. Only Walter Chlopan, a junior, Charles Fidler, swimming cap- tain. and Marcel P h i l 1 i p s, who gradu- ates in January, are exceptions to this gen- eral rule. None of these captains have led his team for more than one season. Six of the captains play in a sport other than their own, but none of these six participate in more than two sports, except Wechsler, who earned a letter in golf in 1928.

Varsity Football APTAIN Barney Wechsler graduates this June after playing four seasons of football on the varsity. Throughout this time he has played half back, at which he earned himself the reputation of being a hard line hitter and dependable defensive man. During the four years Bar- ney has played, he has been on two cham- pionship teams. Besides football, he has played hockey, golf, and reserve basketball. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE H.P. OPP.

But the most noticeable feature which Wechsler portrays is a broad smile which covers his entire face. Around this smile hinges Barney's personality. Only on rare occasions does it leave his face. When it does, he reveals a serious look that shows much more determination of charac- ter than his smile.
