TRACK The track team, under the direction of Mr. Skibba and Mr. Constance, look for- ward to a successful season. The Con- ference track meet has been set for a ten- tative date in May at Adams-Friendship. A triangular and dual meet have also been planned. More interest in the sport is to be expected since major and minor awards are to be given. BASEBALL We started our fall season with a slim nucleus of our last year's team. We had games scheduled with Oxford, Markesan, and Neshkoro. We finished with a weak .250 percent, but feel that the experience gained will help us this spring. We are hoping for a better season next year. First How: Paul Schwochert. Gradon Gray. Ken Soda. Tom Cotter. Bill Heaton. Second How: Joe Lynch. Dick Schwochert. Ken Rob- inson. Ivan McDultee. Chat.
