Winning seasons were enjoyed by both the track squad and the baseball team. The cross-country harriers broke even in the won-lost column. Gridmen at M.H.S. had a slow season record, but they could look with hope toward next year as most of the players will be returning. Basketball, too, had PAGE TWELVE a building season with underclassmen carry- ing most of the load. The golf team had a losing season this year, but, of course, thoughts for a better coming season filled the mind of each member of the squad. These athletic events are an important phase in the world of education, and the out- standing sports program at M.H.S. is a great fuel for keeping the school in its orbit.
