V, L. has turned out in years, com- ing out even at the end of the season with three wins, three losses, and one tie. The one touchdown loss to Marion was a bitter pill to swallow, but the boys show ed fine spirit as they bounced back to trounce Hope by an impressive margin. The Trojan B's also showed fine style.

The freshmen basketball squad had a highly successful year, winning five ball games and losing only one. They beat Marion and Florence twice, and split two games with Peabody. They showed fine sprirt in all their ball games, and when the freshmen step up into B team ball it is felt they shall be able to continue their winning ways.

Jim Franz beat his old state record in the half mile, but had to settle for second in the state meet. Jerry Harder captured the state broad jump crown as well as placing fourth in the low hurdles and 220 yard dash, His fine leap of 23' 2 lf2 set a new league record in the broad jump, Al- though Hillsboro won only one track meet, they were among the leaders in every one they entered. Many of HilIsboro's top men were underclass- men, giving promise of many more fine years to come. TENNIS TEAM, LEFT TO RIGHT, FIRST ROW: Gary Vogt. Herald Kliewer, Raymond Stelting.

While on the State Fair Grounds, the seniors could visit the Museums of Fine Art, Natural History, and Health, or the Texas Hall of Fame or Acquarium.
