Passaic High School has been noted for its fine cross country teams and in 1938 captured the Passaic County Championship. Our team defeated the champions here at our home course, running superbly against such experienced men. The boys on the squad deserve credit for their perseverance in training. It is, undoubtedly, no child's play to run two and a half miles over a mixed course of concrete roads, dirt tracks, and cinder paths. There is a terrific 'Agrind to this sport. Coach Cookman trained the boys well enough to merit an invitation to the Seton Hall Track Meet in which only top-notch runners from all parts of the county and state compete. Running in the Union County Invitational Meet, Henry Red Englehardt took eighth place and '4Chuck Chorniewy secured tenth place. Both merit recog- nition for this achievement. The team, although beset with many accidents and difficulties, reached its prime in time to win the Passaic meet. The Cross Country men train faithfully, work hard at their daily grind, and fight for victory with little applause and scant recognition from the student body. They deserve a great deal of credit. Orchids and 'ALaurels to the Cross Country Team. FRED HUND 7o

A valiant team provided us witl1 eight pleasant Saturdays and a Thursday morning. Although o11r record was not showy lsix losses and three victoriesj, we had a successful season. Starting out, we trounced Mctuchcn, 12-o, and then lost to our arch-rivals, Roselle Park, 8-o. The Caldwell game will never be forgotten because of the courageous rally in the last quarter, which produced a touchdown and a tl1rilling drive to thc one-yard li11e. However, we lost, 18-6. The team reinstated itself by smothering Ilighland Park, 33-o. VVe lost a 14-o decision to Snyder of Iersey City. Although accepting the short end of a 6-4 score, Regional showed itself to be a powerful team against Millburn. Suffering from a distinct let-down, the team smothered themselves, and Roselle was victorious, 33-7. Phew! That's 0116 to forget. Down, but not for long, the Bulldogs took driving lessons from George Elko and u0l1t-lHl1ClClCClH North Plainfield, IQ-O. In this game we reached o11r peak and provided a madly cheering throng of hardy spectators with a damp a11d glorious afternoon. XV hat a little f?j rain can do for this school! Staying at this high peak and following the leadership of their newly-elected captain, Nick Druzek, the boys surprised Rahway on Thanksgiving's frozen field of glory. Rahway scored first. Regional struck back a11d found themselves 011 the one-yard line with two plays left i11 the first half. Elko p11t the ball 011 the one-foot line. Pushman spun into a knot of milling players. He was over! VVait! The referees brought it back-bitter dis- appointment in big round tears. The demon warriors ca111e running out and took a good firm stand QThanks to Mr. llautj Zlllfl scored a touchdown with an extra point-the score 7-6, Ollf favor. Oh, happy day! But Rahway would not stay down and scored again to make the score 12-7 when the game ended. Tl1llS ended o11r 1938 season. Many thanks to Coaches Brown, Ceston, and Haut, Captain Druzek, and the team for those happy memories. ai :9.f , su- -J' Q2 19 G1 4 it-f xr VM, A xl N: ' 1 gl QJ 4 gig
