This is held every four years and it is doubtful that high school runners in and around the Fresno area will be relaying another olympic torch for quite some time. Heading the varsity team as captain was Ray Freeman. He along with Perry Popovich and Roy Malone received awards at the fall awards banquet. Popovich for being the most persever- ing runner, and Malone for being the most in- spirational member of the team. The boys who participated in the carrying of the torch were: Beebe, Sanders, Cunning- ham, Malone, Freeman, McBroom, Cabrera, Coach jack lVilcox had a team full of desire and otential. His l P SOP IOIHOTE gIAOl1P placed eighth in the valley while the varsity placed thirteenth. 152
