1 1 THE ALARM f T rack Rounding out a successful athletic year, we are represented with a track team that ranks with the best that has represented the school in its history. It is captained by Bill Hartz who holds both County and League records in the mile. Frank, a distance man, takes care of the half mile. The relay team, consisting of Black, Raabe, Hewitt, and Hartz, broke the former Manlius record of 1:38 held since 1926. Plumley lowered the low hurdle record but it was not allowed because the wind blew over one hurdle. In a dual meet with Wyanet we scored 114, Wyanet 21. In a triangular meet at Walnut we won with 70 points; Walnut scored 40, Bureau 15. We won the “Little Eight” by scoring 77 points; Sheffield was second with 61; Walnut third with 34 points, and Buda fourth with 20 points. The meets left this year are the District at Dixon, the State meet at Champaign, and the County meet at Princeton. Page Twenty
