THE RED OAK 1 Track Last year the Mount Holly High School won four out of its five track meets. Most of these meets were won by wide margins and in the one they lost the winning team defeated Mount Holly by only 2 points. New school records were made and broken in the shot put. This year's track season opened with a strong squad, most of last year's lettermen having returned. The first special meet was between classes in the school. The juniors easily took the meet, with the seniors second, and the sophomores and freshmen a close third. With the experience gained in this meet the team met its First regular opponents, Hamilton Township, on April 23. With good work in the dashes. pole vault, shot put, and discus throw, the team easily won by a score' of 54 to 28. ' The team has some stars but also some weight men who are able to place second and third and thus gain in valuable points. The track team has not yet reached its peak of efficiency, and with a little practice should develop into a better team.
