Senior Lettermen Pace Thinclads '63 Season The Patrick Henry track team, after the loss through graduation of four top track men, began this year with a group of seemingly in- experienced boys. By the time the season was over, however, the team had proved that it was a well- trained and seasoned unit. This year must be considered as a building year for the Patriot track team, since coach Howard Light has stressed fundamentals and body building to his young squad. Back to help the Light Brigade , which will lose only six seniors this year, will be Wes Owens in the pole vault and Pres- ton Painter in the high jump. These two boys, as well as sprinter Russell Nelson and distance man Vaughn Richards, seem certain to 62 help the Patriots next year in their quest for recognition in the West- ern District. Members of the i963 track team were John Light, Wes Owens, Vaughn Richards, Barton Whit- lock, Russell Nelson, Jeff Brown, Don Forbes, Tad Finnell, Phil Craig, Robert Clingenpeel, Steve Walker, Jack Cooper, Ricky Younger, Russell Schneider, George Turner, Preston Painter, Terry Quinn, Jim Nolan, Bob Dhue, Bud- cly Hawkins, Carr Stogner, Rowell Sargeant, Dick Hodges, Danny Williams, Bill Mason, and Bert Hodges. Managers ofthe team this year were Jack Walden and Robert Jaegar. The head coach was Mr, Howard Light.

Glass 3 64 The Patrick Henry baseball team, by winning the Western District Tournament last year, was estab- lished as a strong favorite to re- peat the honor this season. After gaining the finals, however, the Patriots were defeated 3-2 by E. C. Glass and had to settle for run- ner-up honors. This year's season was filled with ups and downs for the team, as they would start a winning streak and gain momentum only to have it stopped by a dark-horse team. Even with this handicap, they did well enough to gain a top
