atzonal Honor Soczet The Mortimer Warren Chapter ot the National Honor Society was reactivated this year at L.H.S. and l4 members were inducted into this organization. These members consisted ot iuniors and seniors who had maintained an academic average ot 85 per cent or better throughout their high school careers. The group was invited to visit the Thomaston Chapter at Thomaston High School and our members spent a profitable after' noon observing the conduct ot a business meeting and hearing advice as to possibilities tor Society activities. Our local chapter hopes to gain strength in succeeding years. Its very reorganization indicates a healthy trend in the direction ot encouraging good scholarship. Sming left to right P. Moore, L.

Sealed, Qcfr .s right- W. Hartman, D. Alvin, E. Collins, J. Karl. Standing: Coach McNeil, R. Healy, D.llYland, D. Shanahan, W. Irwin. The track team started oft their season with a meet at Yale. The Blue and White proved that it still maintained a classy squad. Ernie Collins took a lst place in the 440 yd. dash and a third place in the shot put. Don Alvin took a 2nd place in the 880 yd. race. In a relay race the L.H.S team ran up an easy victory with little compe- tition. Under the guidance ot their ine coach, Mr. McNeil, they expected another outstanding sea- son both in the Housatonic Valley League and against other competition. The boys were not in tip-top condition tor their first meet as there had been little practice, but nevertheless, they exhibited signs of forth- coming success. They expected to get into ex- cellent condition soon after the meet at Yale. The Community Field Track was not available for use until later in the season, so they relied mostly on road-work and sitting up exercises. Optimism for future meets was high and they hoped for their best in their efforts to bring prestige to Litchfield High. 40 T racle
