Sidney High School was represented by one of the best track teams ever put out by the school. We had entered track several years without practice, but were not successful. A track team means practice, and lots of it. While we were not able to practice for the track meet because of no field, we were represented, nevertheless. Cleveland, who won the 220-yard dash at the district meet, had little practice, hut never¬ theless he sure did show a great deal of speed. After winning the district meet, he went to Bridgewater on place third. This we were very well satisfied with, for we knew he did his best. Garber, V., another boy who won out in the district high jump, had little practice, and he really showed what practice he had when winning second place.
