Track The track squad this year includes several cinder veterans and should show consid- erable balance. Pit and distance events are strongly fortified, with some promise in the hurdles. Returning lettermen are, Russ Nelson, half-mile, hurdles, jim Kinney, pole vault, F-S relay, Walter Sarbaugh, mile and half-mileg Chuck Sherman, pole vault, Elmer Mekley, high jump, Bob Bluell, half-mileg Fred 220, 440, broad jump. The gradu- ation of the dash and hurdles men of last year will be felt. Help is expected of the more promising underclassmen. Last year the track squad won 5 triangular meets, placed second in one, and third in another. The thinly-clads also won the Little Six meet and placed fifth among the powerful Tri-County Schools . Tournaments The M-S cage crew in their 4 tournament appearances had consid- erable poise and endurance, the two qualities that make or break a tour- nament team. The 1955 edition of the Pirate gang was perhaps the best tourney competitor seen in recent years . They handily walked off with top honors in the Little Six, dispatch- ing Hennepin and Bureau Twp. with comparative ease. They showed up well in the big Tri-County meet, losing to a powerful Mid-County team in the game for third place. The bold, brave Buccaneers put on a iplendid show before losing their last , l game in the State Elimination. Plac- ing second to the sectional-bound Tonica Warriors, M-S was within four points of victory in the closing 60 seconds, after a tremendous last- half surge which made up for a 16 point half time deficit. All in all, the 1954-55 basketball season was one about which every Pirate fan can boast. It is a season to be remembered . These pictures were taken at the Little Six Tournament.
