The team won four and lost eight of the games played, and received fifth place in the conference. Don Rink turned in some fine pitching, and Lloyd Rosenberger had a very good batting average for the season. Also Orison Abel and Jim Eickhofl rendered much to the Lowell cause with their fine hitting. Despite the losses the will to win was still in the team as they won the last four contests over diflicult toes. Many lettermen are returning and the team's future looks very promising.

There are Iettermen return- ing, however, that should put our racketmen high in the standings for the i958 season. Much is ex- pected from ace players like Bob White and Jack Hartley, who will carry the hopes tor a more im- pressive season next spring. However, the team played fine tennis, and most of the matches were close. Lettermen of the season were: Bob White, Jock Harltey, Jack Nash, Eugene Champion, Don Heaven, Jim Williams, Ron Wood, and Dick Ward.

TRACK The Lowell Red Arrows track team repeated their 1956 season by capturing second place in the Grand Valley, following East. ln the first meet, Lowell defeated Godwin by a score of 62521 to 46M1. Our second meet was with Lee, which the Arrows crashed by the margin of 83 to 26. The following two meets were won handily over Grandville 82-27, and Wyoming Park 88V2-20W The following was the real test, as the Arrows took on the Pioneers of East Grand Rapids. With several bad breaks the Lowell team was beaten by the slim mar- gin of 67M to MM. However, the Lowell crew wasn't done as they finished the regular season by downing the Rockford team by a 68V2 to 40h decision. Also, during the regular season the lads took in the rough Mt. Pleasant invitation, the Central Michigan College Relays which is the biggest high school track event in the nation, with the best competition in the state. Here the boys made a proud showing by winning nine medals, and placing high in the final standings. Also, the boys placed well in the State meet, as Bob Carrigon won the mile, and set the Grand Valley mile record, and George Henderson received second place in the quarter mile, to round out the scoring. Other records were set during the season, as Leonard Fase, hurdle ace, broke both the high and low hurdle records. As for the future, Lowell track team looks very good with the returning of much depth, how- ever, much was lost by graduation.
