Team balance and depth in many eve nts paid off for the'Bisons at the Conference Meet at Niles. After scoring well in the hurdles, dashes, high jump, and shot put, the 880 relay team clinched the title by winning their event in one of the finest races of the after- noon. This team was composed of Bill Dohn er, Bill Cummings, John Calnin, and Jack Glossinger. Jack Buckler and Joe Brychta were the other main point getters for the Bisons. In the State wide competition, John Cal nin placed second in the Class C Quarter Mile at Ann Arbor. Losing only one man from this squad sets the Bisons up as the team to beat for this year's Conference Crown. 70

Getting underway with a turnout of twelve boys, the Golf Team began its first year with a regular schedule and a home course. Through the courtesy of Chikaming Country Club, we were able to hold regular practice and have a home course for our matches. The season included two matches with Edwardsburg, two with Three Oaks, and the regional meet at Grand Rapids. The four boys who made the Grand Rapids trip were Steve Palen, John Reed, Mike Brennan, and Gary Foucek. Although the scores were high. and the weather bad, the big match was good experience for these boys, three of whom will be back for two or three more seasons. 71
