V V THE ARGQNAUT V A A 'Y i. .......f . J.. ff f TRACK Une of the most popularized sports but the least publicized in high school is track. This season over 130 boys have answered the call to the cinders, among Whom are eight lettermen returning in track. They are Vanitvelt, 100 yard dashg Burby in broad jump and shotg Grailer, relay and 440 yard dashg Vicklund and Calvi, milersg Munson, pole vaultg Van Laanen, high jumpg and Puhalo With his 225 pounds flipping the shot. This year's squad has some very fine long distance runners with Ar- divino Mariucci, Albert Robbins, and Charles Syrjanen coming from the championship cross country team. The squad is weakened by the loss of Kenneth Alquist, miler and hur- dler, who is ineligible because of the ninth semester ruling, and James Manko, 440 and shot point man, who dropped out of school. Although last.year's graduation took l5 lettermen from the squad, Chard has sifted his candidates into a very promising team. Sea.son's Schedule Inter Squad meet-May 4. Tri meet, composed of Iron Mountain, Kingsford and Iron River-May 11. District meet at Manistique -May 18. U. P. meet at Houghton -May 25. Escanaba Relays-May 30. Page Eighty-th

CROSS COUNTRY The call of the cinders was answered by a squad of thirty boys when Coach Richard Chard started practice in September. The two lettermen, returning from last year's state championship team, are Richard Vick- lund and Kenneth Alquist. Witih these Coach Chard formed the nucleus of another great team. From an exceptionally large turn-out, a field of seven sturdy runners was selected to represent the school. They are James Menza, Ardivino Mariucci, Albert Robbins, Charles Syrjanen, and the two lettermen. Un October 14, Iron Mountain invaded Iron River in a dual meet and captured seven of the first eight places. At the regional meet, held in Iron Mountain October 21, they again took the first three places, add- ing 7th, Sth, 9th, and 12th. Five of these Mountaineers went on to the state meet at Ypsilanti, to place Sth, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 18th. This gave lron Nlountain second place in the state. lN1r. Chard has been track coach for six years and his teams have not lost one U. P. meet. During his four years as cross country coach, he produced a state champion team in 1937, repeating in 1938. However, in 1939, the Iron lN1ountain boys came home with second place honors. Charles Syrjanen, Kenneth Alquict, Richard Vicklund, and James hlenza are the senior lettermen. Kenneth Alquist, captain of the 1939 team, and Richard Vicklund have been on two U. P. and one state cham- pionship teams. The 1940 captain is not yet chosen as this Argonaut goes to press, Prospects for 1941 are excellent since 1Nf1ariucci, Robbins, and Calvi are returning lettermen, strengthened by Frank 1VIcKinnon, Glen Bell, and XVilbur Johnson, who appear to be good track material. 1' c Eighty-two

TUMBLING TEAM Although tumbling is a comparatively new activity in our school its popularity has grown very quickly. It has proven to be a very beneficial sport to those who take it as well as an excellent means of providing en- tertainment. This year's team was composed of two groups, the boys' tumbling team, and the girls, tumbling team. The boys put on exhibitions at three baseketball games and the girls at one. These performances met with great success. Specialty acts which showed outstanding talent were put on by Phil Rahoi, Edmund Niongrain, Fred Lonsdorf, and Leo Rahoi. The boys' section of the team was under the leadership of lylr. lrv- ing Iadin and lNIr. Frank Logan. lylrs. Chappel instructed the girls. Page Eighty-four
