North Side was represented by many fine performers this year, and several of them proved to be outstanding over the course of the season. Milers lack Quas, Earl Pontius, Gene Evans, and Ed Evans brought much honor to their team, as did Frank Geist, Bon Bowman, Harvey Baker, and Freddy Willett, all of whom handled the halfemile chores. Leonard Snyder, North's sensational veteran 440 man, very capably represented the Big Bed during the past season, aided by Henry Chapman and Pete Lundell. Handling the dashes for the Chambersmen this year were Ron Slater, Phil Hosler, and Ed Reader. Aided by Sophomore Bill Ortlieb in the hurdle races was North's outstanding junior, Bon Trowbridge, one of the Red's leading point-getters, who could invariably be counted on to take first in the high hurdles. Senior Charley Lyons, state champion in the high jump last year, performed in superb fashion again this season, assisted by Dick Esterline and Bill Ortlieb. Lyons was also North's pole vaulter, and the broad jump was handled by George Taylor. The Bedskin relay teams, consisting of Hon Slater, Phil Hosler, George Taylor, Ed Reader, and Bon Trowbridge in the half-mile combina- tion at different times during the season, and Pete Lundell, Bon Bowman, Henry Chapman, and Len Snyder on the mile team, after a slow start finally clicked, bringing many honors to the team.
